Q: Tiller will not stay running after it starts with starting fluid administered into the carburetor. What should I check to find the problem?

2 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hi there, There is likely a blockage in the fuel lines or float bowl of the carburetor from leftover fuel. If you’re familiar with how to clean a carburetor, we suggest using a carburetor cleaner. Otherwise, we recommend you take it to your nearest authorized service center for cleaning. Here is the link to find a Troy-Bilt authorized service center : https://www.troybilt.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-troybilt-Site/en_US/Stores-FindService . Thank you for your question.

Troy-Bilt Is A Decent Build

9 months ago
Welds on handlebar assembly could be better by welding fully around the tubes, and tines' shield bends easily. Other than those flimsy aspects, it operates and does very well. It will bog down in well-tilled or soft soil, but it shreds bad turf, overgrown beds, root systems, vines, even some smaller aging stumps! The tines won't break, and the engine starts and runs very well, a beast. I was going to rent one, but I just bought it instead, because I would have been halfway there with rental fees anyways. Now I have a great tiller for future gardens and replacing badly damaged grass areas.

Falling apart

a year ago
Used three times maybe 3 hours total. I keep my equipment clean and kept inside out of the weather. Gas tank mount’s failed first year, made repairs myself , muffler guard fell apart repaired it. Tried to use it today pull rope broke. I would like to talk with someone from Troy-bilt.

No, I do not recommend this product.
