Im kind of a n00b when it comes to small engine repair and I was hoping someone could give me some guidance... I recently picked up an old huskee tiller for cheap, it was extremely hard to start when I got it but I can't get it to run longer than 30 seconds now. The engine that's on it is a b&s model:130292 type: 311101. So far I've taken the gas tank/carb off and cleaned them both with carb cleaner and some small gauge wire in any hole I could find. Its got fresh gas, new air filter, new spark plug. I've also taken off the magneto, sanded down the flywheel, magneto contact things and then reset the air gap using a dollar bill folded in half... I get a decent purplish sometimes orange spark when I set the plug on the head. I put the only adjuster screw to 1 and 1/2 turns, go full choke with throttle at full but it can take over and hour of cranking to get the thing running even more than 10 seconds. My hands are covered in blisters and the pull start retracting spring has came loose about 3 times now lol. The only other clue I have is that the warmer I get the motor the more it tries to run....oh yea and oil is full. Someone please help! My hands can't take much more and I wanna get my garden started :tongue:
Also...can someone refer me to a good how-to on setting the air-fuel screw and the proper way to get this thing started? The top of the tiller says to go full choke and full throttle but that doesn't seem to work very well.
