Hi guys- I have an old Troybilt Junior Rototiller that dates back probably to the 1980's. It is equipped with a Tecumseh 3.5 horse motor that used to be bulletproof, but now I cannot seem to get this thing to rev up. It idles fine but as soon as I give it gas it sputters and dies. I have tried adjusting the governor, but that did nothing so then I replaced the carburetor- same thing. I would really like to get this thing running again. If anybody has any suggestions I'm all ears. Thanks

Sound like it is lacking for fuel, you might also want to make sure the exhaust system isn't plugged.

I'm going to move this thread over to our Troy-Bilt section in case you need more advice.
