I would remove the sediment bowl, remove the float and needle.
The bowl is probably gunked up, wipe it out. While it's open,
give every hole you see a spritz of carburetor cleaner. Make sure
you get fuel through the needle seat into the carb throat. Look
over the bolt that holds the sediment bowl on, see if it has a
large hole down the center with a small cross hole near the head -
make sure these are open if you have them. Reassemble. Should
fire up and run. A breath of carb cleaner in the air intake will
help it fire. A dose of Stabil will help next time.

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?
