Did it run OK right before you put it in storage?

Oh yes, ran really well.

Runs rich means either
it's feeding too much gas, or too little air. Yah, basic stuff. How did
you
know too rich? Black spark plug?

Black plug, fliter was full of dirt.



Try it with part choke. If it's running lean, then it will run better with
part choke. What comes to mind, is that on B & S Engines, sometimes the
gasket dries out, between the carb and the engine. That makes it nearly
impossible to start (have to use ether or some gas in the air intake).


Couldn't even get it started now, flush out the "new" regular gas and
replace fresh premium gas and clean the plug.

With the exception oh Honda, don't have luck with new engines (4 or 2
cycle), my old engines will start within 3 pulls.

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?
