Hi, my first post.
I have a Troy Bilt tiller, which after a number of years standing, started like a dream, straight from storage, but after a couple of hours use, the carb float failed and everything stopped. No problem, new part, from OD. Started first pull after priming but then disaster. I had not secured the small rubber pipe similar to the fuel pipe which I assume is a breather of some sort that attaches into the elbow into the side of the carb in a position between the air filter and the carb itself. It slipped off it and pumped out what appears to be copious amount of engine oil and yuck in a continuous and dirty flow, increasing with engine speed. If I reconnect the engine continues to run at start speed for a couple of minutes then stops. What is this stuff should it be flowing continuously? as the quantities surely cannot just be burned up..... Any advice would be appreciated as I have a lot of tilling to do....
