I can't get my rototiller to run. 5.5 HP Briggs & Straton. I can start it (with starter fluid). But after 10 seconds or so it sputters and quits. I just used it a month ago and it ran like a champ. Any ideas?
Running, sputtering and then stopping would indicate a fuel flow problem to me. It's been a long time since I disassembled one of those but my money is on the fuel line or fuel filter if it has one. Old gas can get gummy. I'm a firm believer in using Sta-Bil.
