The plug is white.

I will check the ID # when I pull it today.
Briggs&Stratton, it's either a plugged high
Speed jet, or a bad diaphram.

Bad plugs have been the issue many times here.

I am as dumb as they come.... New liquids, lines, and new plugs have always work well for me.

Assuming clean carb and compression.

Best of luck.
I'm more than happy to explain it to you. I'll even draw you a picture! But I can't understand it for you.
