Briggs and Stratton 10d902 won't start, has spark and fuel?
Initially it would run fine then after a while if you did vigorous forward and back motion it would run unevenly.
Now it won't start. Has spark and fuel is getting to the combustion chamber. It is not flooded, I have left it for days then tried again.
I know quite a bit about car engines and it is like the timing is out. Sometimes it backfires out of either the carb or the exhaust. But I don't see how the timing can be out with such a simple magneto/permanent magnet arrangement?
Have you checked the flywheel key way hasnt broken and allowed timing to be out?

Sound like the carb diaphragm. If it also emits puffs of black smoke with irregular idling then that's the case. May well be something as simple as the plug- try that first it's easier and quicker to change.
