Craftsman snowblower throttle problem
Sometimes on them the throttle shaft which goes in to the carburetor gets rusty and turns hard. If you can't move the throttle butterfly by hand spray pb blaster around the shaft and move it back and forth to unstick the butter fly shaft.

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
