I wonder if you have stuck valves?? I know it's not the same, but a couple weeks ago I got my brush sprayer out after setting a couple years. It has a 3 hp Briggs. It had half a tank of old gas in it, so I topped it off with fresh, and it took right off. Ran it for about half an hour or 45 minutes and shut it off. It ran real well. This engine is a reman, it has about 10 hours on it. Went to start it about an hour later and it wouldn't start at all, wouldn't even try. Lots and lots of spark. Shot carb cleaner in carb, didn't change anything. Took carb apart just to be sure it was ok, it was, obviously, just smelled a little like old gas. A little stumped for a bit. I noticed if I pulled it over real fast, it would spit back out the carb. After putting my hand over the intake and pulling it over, I had no suction. Bingo. The intake valve was stuck all the way open. Pulled the head and the side cover. The intake valve was so gummy from that old gas on the stem I had to spray it with brake clean and tap it up and down with a hammer lightly to get it to move enough to get it out to clean it up. It was running only a couple hours before by this time, mind you. Put it back together, started first pull. Something to think about anyway
