First the float or needle valve will be bad causing gas to get into the oil. The carb would need to be properly repaired then the valves/lifters must be properly adjusted. After this the oil would need to be drained and new oil added. If you over adjusted the lifters the engine will not run and could damage the head or push rods. Hope this will help

SOURCE: same problem - Slow engine speed doesn't run smooth either

You should look at the numbers AFTER the model and type number you noted in your post. The first two digits of the CODE are the year the engine was made. This looks to me like an old 5hp Briggs....old enough that it wouldn't have electronic ignition. If it has the old points and condenser, it could likely need a tune up. Electronic ignition modules or electronic ignition coils are available for this engine - see your Briggs dealer.

If you had the gas tank off, did you replace the gasket between the carb and engine block? This particular engine uses 2 (two) gaskets, not one.

By the way, you don't want to make a governor spring. It's best to use the one specifically manufactured for this particular engine or you run the risk of over-revving.

did it run out of gas when you added gas it could be that the fuel line has plugged up with something from the bottom of the tank take the fuel line off and try blowing threw it and take a air hose and blow out the carb and carb cleaner

SOURCE: GAS OVERFLOWS WHEN GAS TANK VALVE IS TURNED ON.

The float could just need adjusted. It may be floating up to high to stop the gas flow correctly. Some carburaters that I have worked on had a small rubber needle valve seat. If you blew the carb out with forced air you might have blown this out.

SOURCE: I HAVE A 8HP HORSE TROYBILT TILLER. I CAN NOT GET

have you checked to make sure your fuel shut off valve is turned on? If you remove the fuel line at the tank( with something to catch the gas) and your fuel shut off is turned on and you get no flow then something is clogging the fitting at the tank or inside the tank. You will have to remove and clean the tank. Let me know how you come out.

SOURCE: tiller starts and idle's fine

Have you cleaned your air filter lately? Some air filters just need to be replaced. If so then I think that you need to rethink if you are really flooding out the engine with too much fuel?

Flames come out muffler

Sounds like Intake valve gap is bad and there is gas in the oil ? Valves cleaned, lapped and head gasket redo . Not too spendy. About 25 dollars total for everything. The lapping tool & Compound, head gasket, OHV rocker cover gasket if equipped. Maybe an 'inch pound' torque wrench if you don't have one, misc socket set, rags, carb cleaner, starting fluid for the tougher build up and some new steel wool pads. Also the valve clearance specs on rocker arms and a few how to vids on youtube about adjusting your valves with feeler gauge and proper torque specs are listed in your engine's model number Manual online somewhere.

Engine surgings after running 1hr

You're on the right track its definitely fuel starvation. Try cleaning the fuel tank breather (it's probably in the tank filler cap). This allows air in to the tank as the fuel is used, if it's blocked you get a partial vacuum in the tank and the fuel wont come out.

Hi tuffy wont start ,,,,,,,,,,,put gas in carb and it runs,,,,,,,,,all taken apart new diafram,,,,,,,,,cleaned with corb cleaner still wont start

make sure you cleaned the main jet and low speed jet good and make sure your needle and seat are in good condition some time the seats swell up do to bad gas. there for no gas gets through the seat and make sure your gas is clean w no water, if this isnt a needle and seat carb use regular wire and clean it good.

Gas coming out of breather tube for rocker arm cover

Did you clean the needle valve/seat ?
Sounds like the float is not closing off the gas flow.
Could also be the float has a hole in it that let gas into the air chamber of the float. Be worth checking.
Pull the float and put it into hot water. If air bubbles come out the float has a hole.

Engine bogs down when speed is increased.

Ok I have r Royobi Tiller (30CC Gas) And last year it ran fine after rebuilding the Carb. This year it was "hard starts" Idles fine, (Tiny whisps of blue smoke in exhaust with correct ratio) Even seems to run better with the choke "on" but still...at idle only. as soon as I touch the throttle...its bogs down in tune with how much gas I give it. Little throttle? Little bog down, Little more throttle? Almost stalls, a normal throttle rev? it stalls dead! Then starts right back up again in 1 pull and idles fine again!? WTF? So after cleaning a clean carb again, (twice) and seeing no change I thought I'd go look at the original diaphragm and compare it with the rebuild kit diaphragm (which is the one in the carb.) And guess what? The replacement has a larger rivet by a factor of "2". So basically it was flooding the carb, I bent the needle tang down, better but no cigar. But I could rev it half way now. A second disassemble to bend it yet a bit further and Vrooom vroom vrooom ****! So check your needle valve even though you think its 100%. (Especially if you rebuilt the carb with a kit!)

Statesman Tiller

without knowing if its a briggs and straton or tecumseh engine ( I assume Briggs) the carb is where the throttle and gas line connect to. carb will need to be rebuilt most likely and tank will have to be removed to be cleaned. you can email me and I could do it for you I am in wisconsin kerryjonjon at yahoo.com I am the most reasonable in this area. I could do carb and tank if you want.
