Does anybody know why it's so hard to turn the motor on a Briggs & Stratton lawn mower

Easy--compression. Remove the spark plug and you'll likely notice a big
difference!
Not if the handle isn't pulled to the run position and the blade
brake is on. Any lawn mower with the briggs and stratton name on the
mowwr - not the engine - was made since blade brakes have been
mandatory.
