Depending how bad it is you can try taking the spark plug out and soak it in diesel fuel. If it froze up solid you may half to take it apart and drive it apart. If you half to do that you might be better of to buy anew or used motor might be cheaper in the long run.
Hope this helps.
Originally from when Briggs & Stratton started business in 1919, the engine's were built in Milwaukee Wisconsin to 1985 and well into the 1990's. Recently great production is very little from were Briggs & Stratton was originally started. These day's there is great activity of Briggs & Stratton parts from China/Japan and Briggs & Stratton engine blocks being casted in Mexico. Truley a great devistation to a once GREAT engine. Which is why alot of people like myself will no longer recommend a Briggs & Stratton engine. Today your best bet is Kohler (still U.S. produced), Kawasaki or Honda.
