    Ran out of oil Briggs & Stratton 6.75 HP on pwr washer
    I somehow managed to run out of oil on the power washer... it was smoking & had a bad smell. Put oil in, & now won't start... it will turn over, but not catch. Probably ran without oil for about 10-25 minutes.:confused:

    Hi,
    Does it have compression? Resistance to pulling it over. Alternately you can remove the plug,stick you finger in the plug hole, pull it over. It should try to blow your finger out of the hole. No compression. No rod connected to crank.
    Peace,

I have a B&S 16.5 OHV MTD Yardman that will not turn over even though the starter and battery are OK. It will turn to a point and then stops. If I remove the spark plug it turns freely like it should. I know that removes the pressure in the cylinder but I don't know what could cause it to bind...
