I bought a tiller about 4 years ago with great plans to get a garden in. It never had any power and would bog down quick. Eventually it quit running altogether. I tried rebuilding the carburetor, but that did not fix it. Dad said someone had told him they knew a guy that was "great" with small engines and so he loaded it up and hauled it away. About 2 weeks later he picked it up and Mr. Rube Goldberg had completely transformed the 3hp motor into a newer/used 5hp motor. The old motor had no compression, which came as a result of either age or running without an air cleaner. Now it tears up the dirt. He added all kinds of levers and a kill switch and fixed the tire that would go flat in 5 minutes.
The kill switch and throttle(that is very touchy).A well marked choke lever.The carb it attached well with springs.He even added some extra words....It works so slick that even Vincent can run it.
Special thanks to dad for getting it back on the road and for Mom weeding my garden while we were in Alaska.
