#1: mower won't start

Posted on 2006-06-11 04:01:18 by brusbrother

Sears Briggs and Stratton 6HP self-propelled died while running.
Brief history: Hit rock and replaced blade. Ran fine for a few hours
but suddenly died. Check spark plug has spark, fuel is new and
carburetor jets are cleaned and open and filter is clean. Put fuel
directly into cylinder ... nothing. The engine has compression when I
pull the starter cord. The blade rotates when I pull the cord (does
this of itself indicate flywheel key is OK??). Any thoughts
appreciated.

No. That's exactly what I suspect.
