but check that this battery you charged up is any good first if the battery has been left standing in a discharged state it wont be any good any more,,try a set of "jump leads" from a good car battery!

One suggestion wouild be to check the spark right after failure. You can buy in-line spark indicators that give you a visual light if you are getting spark. This way you could see if you are losing spark when the engine warms up. If your spark is good, you would want to check the compression after the engine is warmed up and quits. You should have at least 100# minimum.

two things possible you have a sticking float or if its old enogh the electrical ign system is going to have to be replace cheap and easy if the model is old enough this electrical ign takes the place of points and works the same

Sometimes, the main jet to these small-engine carburetors gets clogged up. It is easy to get to. It is the brass bolt that holds the float bowl onto the carburetor body. If you remove it, gas will readily flow out, so drain the fuel by removing the fuel line and placing it into a suitable container first. Remove the bolt and exterior washer (don't lose that). Clean the bottom hole in the bolt and pay close attention to the very small holes in the smooth section near the top. Use NO metal objects to clean the orifices as they are a precision size and can't be enlarged or scraped up. Clean the float bowl also while it is off, make sure the bolt is clean and shiny and reinstall. This will assure the carb is getting fuel, providing there is no clog between the fuel tank and the carb body in the fuel line. You should pull it and blow it out, making sure it is clear also. I recommend installing an inline fuel filter on ALL 4 stroke machinery.

Sometimes on the Briggs and Kohler engines, the compression release fails to operate at the proper time or is malfunctioning. A remedy for this is to remove the valve cover(s) and adjust the OH valves per the manufacturers specifications. This enables much easier starting, produces less wear and tear on the starter and may allow your new battery to completely turn that engine over. Out of adjustment valves mimic a weak or failing battery quite well and the engine hangs up on the compression stroke because the compression release system is not working properly. Adjust those darn valves.
