    If you cleaned the carb then look for fuel delivery issues.

    Older Briggs have a low and high speed idle screw, so be careful of that.

    Make sure the gas gap is vented and if there is a solenoid on the carb, that will prevent fuel from flowing too.

    Without specific model #'s it really difficult.
