My 18 horse Briggs and Stratton engine wont run? The battery dies and I charged it and when I turn the key, I get maybe one revolution before it seems to "chug" and stop spinning. It turns a little faster with the spark plugs out and It has spark and the right oil. is my starter going out?

Try a known good battery, or jump box to make sure that it's not a battery issue, but it sounds like valve adjustment. you can find a you tube vid on how to do it.:thumbsup:

Clean or replace spark plug then try again, if that doesn't fix then try squirting fuel in the carb, if it runs off that then u have a fuel delivery problem.
PS
How old is your fuel, If gas is bad it won't run either
