Briggs & Stratton Garden - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues
Briggs & stratton 17.5 hp has fuel, spark and good air filter no start.
Likely either the engine is flooded or low compression.
A simple go no go compression test is remove spark plug and press a thumb or finger firmly over the plug hole and crank engine. It should forcibly push your finger and make a loud PFFfft sound. No or little sound equals insufficient compression.
If the push rod was not bent, there was no reason to replace. If it was bent then I question how you set proper valve lash with new pushrod as the typical cause for a bent rod is a displaced valve guide.
If compression is OK then likely it's simply flooding and you have a carb float/inlet needle issue. Crank engine, remove plug and if it's saturated with fuel then it's flooded and a flooded engine will not fire, even with starter fluid.

Briggs & Stratton 450 series 148cc. How to get higher revs?
Remove and sharpen the blade. If the blade is sharp, it will slice though the grass with no resistance. Over time, the cutting edge gets blunted by stones, grass and soil. If that doesn't fix it, remove the carburetor, strip and clean all the jets. Make sure you count the turns and write down any pilot jet settings.

I started my lawn boy
This is the exhaust port. If you over primed it before starting, it will smoke and smell like burning oil.
I have the same one and I've done that before.
