Ok Tracy said I have to let you know the story behind the tiller. Well We got the tiller out of the shed last Friday and it would not start. So my brother came over to try and help, He changed the oil, put new gas in , cleaned the carb, put a new spark plug in, but it failed to stay running. So i took off the air filter to check the throttle cables and noticed the one throttle wire was broken off. So I jerry riged the throttle and it was idleing high so I lowered the trottle switch to low so I owuld not burn up the engine. I was so happy it stayed running. So off to the garden with my dogs and started to till when PUFF SMOKE but it kept runnung. Then about ten minutes kater PUFFF RATTLE THE ENGINE GETS LOUDER AND LOUDER BIG THICK SMOKE I CAN'T SEE IN FRONT OF ME, I can't see my dog's I RAN BUT THEN AS I was running away BANG PIFFFF OIL SPIRTED. Tiller dies. I found my dog's threw the thick smoke I thought the dang thing was gonna break into peices. This realy stinks. To bad tracy was not home she woulod of been runningn with me. So today we are going to rent a tiller.
