Pull cord stuck on Briggs & straton generator
Had this happen to me. The problem turned out to be a mouse nest inside the gaps around the flywheel(?) assembly that is behind the starter pull cord.
I pulled off the starter and saw some mouse crud. I cleared that out and reassembled. Pulled the cord again and heard clunk, snap, and breaking pieces bouncing around. Everything was stuck again.
Disassembled again to see some of the plastic blades of the fan snapped and there was a lot more mouse nest jammed in. Spent 2 hours digging out what must have been at least a basketball sized cloud of mouse nest. I had to dig, spin a little by hand, keep digging.
Eventually I got it all out and the engine fired up nicely.
It seems this design a a lot of wide open spaces that suit mice nicely. Combine that with years of storage with no use and you get an epic mouse nest.

Briggs and Stratton generator will spark but no start
Then you need fuel! Make sure the gas is turned on. Pull the sparkplug after a few tries and see if it's wet with fuel or smells like it. Thats all a motor needs is spark and fuel! Well air too.

I have a storm responder generator briggs and Stratton 5500 drained all of the old fuel and cleaned spark plug generator wont start what could be the problem
tankfilter not sludged tank fuel tap filter working clean it fuel hoses good ?(allways first take airfilter off in case of test temporarily) clean it with some fuel if its need will sometimes help) carburetor float chamber the sprinkler .
in most cases the OILLEVEL can be to low level it to the right position The oil level must be against the screw of the dipstick if nothing helped disconnect the Oil surveillance but only Temporarily try it look the sparkplug for a good blue colored spark is the compression good the valves also old fuel isnt not allways a problem only when compression is bad because of Octane number

Tem my briggs portable generator has no spark it appears ignition coil has failed. Items checked. disconnected kill wire to coil, disconnected oil sensor wire no spark this will be the 2nd coil
Test the coil electrically
A digital multimeter is required for testing the resistance levels of the ignition coil. The terminals of the coil are going to be marked "negative" and "positive," and these are the two points where the resistance of primary winding can be measured.
Step 1: Prepare the multimeter
To check a 12 volt coil, set the multimeter to at least a 200 Ohms setting. Attach both leads of the meter to the coil-terminals with black to the negative terminal and red to the positive one.
Step 2: Test the resistance
The normal, acceptable range for a standard 12-volt car is 1.5 to 1.7 Ohms. See if the reading is within this range.
Step 3: Test the secondary coil resistance
Set the meter to 20K Ohm setting, and attach the leads to the ignition coil's center terminal. The reading for secondary-coil resistance should be 11, because if it is lower
