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.

That's interesting to know. At least my suggestion would have provided
additional information about the problem (when it was difficult to pull
the cord without a sparkplug...) ; )
