Time of the year to use the roto-tiller with a Briggs 5 h-p engine. And the annuel problem of getting it to run for more than 5 minutes.
It is a Montgomery Wards rear tine tiller and the first year it was in shop for warrenty repairs. I have spent more on truck fuel than than used in the engine. Hauling to shop and going back to return to place and find it still doesn't run properly.
tiller operates fine just engine problems. the carb. is either not getting gas or over flowing and blowing black smoke. Tank is clean, hose to carb. replaced many times and the carb. repair kits would fill a bushel basket if had kept the parts.
So the question of should I just give up and toss and buy replacement . or continue to cuss and yank the start rope. put another repair kit in a carb. that has been worked on so many times the bolts are worn out.
