This day sure went by fast. Got the tiller running and used it a bit in the garden. Had a running problem I hoped to fix without pulling the carb, but when the grandson stuffed dirt in the carb, didn't have a choice. It was so cruddy inside I'm surprised it ran as well as it did, taking it apart turned out to be a good thing. When I got it back together, it started on the first pull. Getting the linkages back together was a puzzle, sure glad I took several photos before taking it apart. Around 30 years old, first time the carb's been off.

Before -


Main jet was so cruddy I'm surprised it ran. Never saw a carb setup like this before, carb sits on the gas tank, pumps gas into a bowl that just spills over to keep a correct level and the carb picks it up from there. The bowl was yucky but cleaned up easily. Main tank was clean.


Ultrasonic cleaners sure do a good job, and easy to use.

Thank you for making my mind up about future toiling Mike. I think I may just be a condo owner soon.
