Default 6.5 hp Briggs & Stratton won't run

Just got under 10 hours on my plate vibrator/compactor and the Briggs &
Stratton 6.5 hp I/C Industrial OHV motor won't run. Model 122432, Type 0113,
Code E8. Put it in storage two months ago, shut off the fuel line and ran it
until dry. Got it out of storage, put fresh gas in, open the fuel line,
choke it, ran it for about 30 seconds, unchoke it and give it more gas and
than it dies. Seems like it lacks power. Clean the filter, check the plug
( was running rich) restart it again and dies again when giving it a little
throttle every time. Don't think carburetor is adjustable. Too soon for a
four cycle engine to die, my Honda engine lasted well over 20 years. Any
ideas?
