Check to see if the carb is clean, if so the anti diesel value could not be working. Apply 12 volts to value and see if it move's. If that works then you may what to check the fuel pump and see if it pumps. After you tried all that then you may have change the main jet size because these engines come with a small jet for the EPA.

SOURCE: Briggs and Stratton pressure washer fuel leak

You've hit the nail on the head.The float,needle and seat are stuck wide open.Once the carburetor bowl is full of fuel the float rises up on top which pushes the needle back into the seat shutting of the flow of fuel.As the engine consumes that fuel the float drops and opens the needle and seat filling the bowl and shutting off the fuel again.Things that cause this process to not work are:forgetting to empty or run out the fuel before storing it for the winter.Sediment buildup in the bowl.Mineral deposits in the needle and seat.
Not emptying out the carb can leave water in the bowl which freezes,crushing the float.It also promotes sediment buildup and mineral deposits.The float when crushed or cracked will not float,nor shut off fuel.Sediment takes away capacity of fuel in the bowl,very necessary for wide open throttle.Mineral deposits build up to the point that the needle and seat can't make a good seal so fuel will continue into the carburetor.
Enough information yet?
To repair,take the nut off the bottom of the carburetor bowl.There are the float and needle and seat assemblies.All three need to be replaced,$10 max.After you get the parts replace one piece at a time so you can see how they go together.Next replace the spark plug, engine oil and air cleaner.They are fuel fouled and even if you could get the engine started will only add more damage to your engine.BEFORE you put the new plug in cycle the engine by pulling the starting cord a few times to get rid of the excess fuel.When there's now more fuel in the cylinder replace the plug,filter and oil.
That's it!Take your time and you can do it just fine.Re-post if you have any more troubles.

SOURCE: I do like to know if this washer is good enough

We power washed houses for years with a 2400psi machine. The machine weighed about 90 pounds. 1 strong man could pick up the weight, but usually it took 2 men to unload it from the trailer.

A small machine can advertise 2400 psi ... but that is for 3 square inches at a time. The heavier machine shoots a 10" or wider swath of 2400psi.

We ran our machine twice a week for years. We had a honda engine. I'm sure the briggs engine is good. I wouldn't buy a used machine... unless the price was low and it started on first pull. Electric starter on your power washer might be a repair-waiting-to-happen because it is constantly exposed to water and dirt.

Briggs & Stratton 23 HP VANGUARD. The right side runs cold?

Question edited for clarity and make sentences.
Question moved form Cars and Trucks to make model category.

My guess is you have a leaking valve. The compressed air in the leak down test is closing it. Remove the heads and lap the valves. Check the valve stems are true and not sticking. The variation is compression 50 v 30 is too great.

What is the compression on a 6hp xe briggs and stratton?

Most small Briggs and Stratton engines are side valve designs. It's difficult to get high compression ratios on a side valve engine so they are usually not more than about 6:1 or 6.5:1. When near new that should give you roughly 90 psi compression pressure.

What causes a lot of gas in oil on 8.5hp B&S

This would be caused by a sticky needle valve on the float in the carburetor.You have three cures 1. remove and clean the carburetor internally. 2. replace the carburetor with a new one. 3. or most simply buy and install a fuel shut off valve and turn it off when not in use. make sure you change the oil 1 4 ID LINE GAS FUEL SHUT OFF VALVE TECUMSEH BRIGGS

When I check the compression on my 26 hp briggs and Stratton I get 90 psi on one and 120 psi on the other. is this ok or do I need work. I lose power on mower deck start up and thicker grass and up hill

no it is not ok. The low side will have a problem as they should be 120psi. It could be a head gasket but most probably will be incorrect valve adjustment hold a valve slightly open

Gasoline leaking into air filter on Briggs & Stratton engine

The float/needle-valve/seat need to be looked at in the carburetor base. The float is not shutting off fuel flow when bowl is at design fuel level. Look for dirt/varnish or anything that interferes with float free movement or preventing the needle valve to close with the seat--usually, just cleaning these parts with spray carburetor cleaner and wiping with a clean cloth will restore operation. Try not to bend anything on the float assembly. Hope this helps!

Started using oil and smoking severely, all at once .

the best compression for a B&S is between 50 psi and 60 psi. if it's below 40 psi there is a problem with the rings or the tappet clearance (not letting the valves close all the way) but if it's smoking i would start with the rings...good luck
