did you take the choke off after engine warmed up?

has it been long while since it ran last? Sounds like the carburetor infusure is gummed up (carburetor). Ethanol gas is the main headache to ALL carbureted engines. The country needs to say goodbye to the useless ethanol

you have to hold the start button until the green light comes on.

trans is junk. as they all were.

hi,
there is a small ball bearing inside the nozzle on the end of the lance , this can get jammed or missaligned and the nozzle orifice can get blocked , clean this or replace the whole lance with another 200 Bar lance .

hope this helps

You have 1 of 3 possible issues; a dirty carburetor, a clogged fuel line or your ignition module (attached to your plug wire) is going. If you can start the engine back fairly quickly it's probably the fuel. If it takes 10-20 minutes to restart, the ignition module.

Make sure fuel shutoff is set properly and check flow volume into carburetor.

Likely its fuel starved at the carburetor. Given its history, I suspect a stuck carburetor float. Suggest you first try a fuel treatment such as Seafoam. If that doesn't work clean out the carburetor bowl and if that doesn't get it running right, the carb will have be removed for a proper cleaning. Be mindful of cost for carb cleaning as a brand new knock off carburetor is far cheaper than the rebuild kit + labor.

I'm big on synthetic oil because it protects better and lubricates better. I would be using 10/30 in the Tiller.

Hello. you have some gunk in the carburator. Get a can of starter fluid or carburator cleaner aerosol and a helper. Remove the air filter and start it up. Spray a little starter fluid into the air cleaner to keep it running for three or four minutes and the problem should clear. If it does not clear the carburator will have to be disassembled, cleaned and rebuilt. j.

Fumes can be seen ? I think you meant flames can be seen. If so, it sounds to me like you have a hole in the piston or broken rings.

Globalism...and a lot of humans cant do simple math.

sounds like still a carb problem probably need to rebuild

Maybe a cable or linkage broken or frozen.

The engine or the pump?

Check all areas where the grass gets sucked or thrown such as the areas under the mower. Sounds like it could be plugged some place. Check your blades also and see if they are working properly.

depends on the trans type to know what the repair is.

no you don't need a fuel pump if gravity fed.
