Ahh.... You know this is a 10 year old post. The machine and the original poster is long dead.

Those carbs are a big pain, they start easy with the updraft design, but the cast aluminum bodies rot out if they get moisture in them for too long. the whole thing has to be taken off to work on it or clean it out. and the carb ahs to be split in two to flush the thing out or change the needle and seat. or to adjust. I always throw a new needle and seat when I take them apart.. and set it in a vise with fuel flow to watch it for leaks before reinstalling on the engine.... also a good idea is to install a fuel shutoff if the fuel line does not have one, that way you don't end up with a gas puddle under where you park it.

Rear tillers don't bet you up like a front tine. Self propelled is a must in any case... Hve you ever dragged a tiller across soft tilled soil?

Like Mcculloch?

I feel like a small peice of me is gone, I worked for a dealer for years. Alot of people don't understand how many engines they made. For years they were the dominate engines on Sears, Toro, Roper and others. Plus all the odd engines they made for snowthrowers, posthole diggers, and small outboards.
