Hope it is OK to post a question here about a Troy-Bilt tiller. It has a 6hp B&S engine. Ran a couple of years ago but now I cannot get it to start. If I spray starter fluid in the intake it will start and run as long as I keep squirting it in there, so the ignition system seems fine. There is fuel flowing through the fuel line. It is not a heavy flow, but should be more than enough for it to run. I took the carb off and cleaned all the orifices good with carb cleaner. Did no good.
I can only see to other options. 1) take off the fuel tank and check the line, shut-off, and filter (if it has one) for restrictions and 2) replace the carb. I hate to go buy a new carb and have it not help, but is there anything else to try? I might take the carb off and clean it a bit more, but all the holes seemed open once I was done.
