- This is a non running Troy Bilt Super Bronco with a 208CC Engine. This is the Counter Rotating Tines, rear Tiller Model. It has not been used this year belongs to my neighbor and he could not get it started. The jet in the carburetor was totally clogged cleaned everything best I could and it start right up on the first pull. Let it run for about 30 minutes and it purring like a kitten again! Will do a follow up video after cleaning it up!

5 years later and this video is still relevant. Thank you for the guidance!
We just followed this step by step and started our digger that had been sitting since 2014 and it started right up on 2nd pull. Thank you so much for this video ! ! ! !
Great video. I borrowed my dad's same model tiller, same symptoms. I new it would be something clogged in the carb, but your video made it a 2-3 minute job to remove the carb. Mine was much cleaner inside, but same completely blocked jet. A a little carb cleaner, compressed air and a few minutes to put it back together, and I was tilling soil.
Very helpful!! My carb was filthy!! .. you gave simple helpful instructions.. my tiller came right on.. thanks a lot man!
I have a Troy Bilt FT Tiller with the exact same engine and thanks for making this video. My carb was a bit dirty and I cleaned it up and it runs now like it's brand new
Finished up a carb clean twenty minutes ago. This video was excellent for a tutorial. Thanks for posting!
Just got one of these for free actually, the recoil pull string assembly was busted, so I replaced it for like 20 bucks, cranked it and it wouldn't start. Plug had spark, so I figured it was the carb, followed this video and 10 minutes later it's running like a top. Thanks so much for this!
EXCELLENT video. THANK YOU! We have the same exact Troy Built Rototiller but haven’t used it in a couple of years. Just like yours ours looks brand new because we only used it 2 seasons and put it in the shed. This year we’re doing a project and I expected to just start it right up! But no. Same symptoms as yours. I followed your video in the exact way you did it and sure enough that nozzle (orifice) was clogged. You said something about a wire to open it. I found that one strand of twisted electrical wire ( I untwisted it and cut 1 tiny strand) worked perfectly. I couldn’t get that lower nozzle/orifice you showed out but I got that wire through there and reamed the upper nozzle I did get out and it WAS plugged up. Cleaned everything really well, put everything back together following your excellent instructions and WALA! IT STARTED RIGHT UP! Gee maybe fixing small engines isn’t so difficult after all! I just finished tilling the 20X20 area we specked out. It ran strong and effective! Do you recommend draining the gas out of the carb for storage? To prevent it from clogging again?
I removed the bottom bolt plug of the carburetor, sprayed in to the small hole Penetration oil + carburetor cleaner 4 repetitions then put everything back , stared weak then got better and better.
Thanks buddy. GR8 video clip.
I had the same start up problem. I watched this video and felt confident I could do it my self. I'am by no means a mechanic and have limited tools. I did exactly what the video instructed and my Bronco runs great now. Thanks for the video, it was very helpful.
thank you for being so detailed in your process! helps a not so mechanically inclined person like me to tackle a task like this!
My Colt FT would not start this year and I had promised to till a sister in law's garden besides ours. I looked at a few other videos but this was the winner. You provided real step-by-step instruction. Going in, I knew what to expect. Right down to the dirt and gunk. Obviously this is not my line of work. Thank you for posting this video as it gave me confidence to dig in.
Perfect, saved a lot of money and if i would have checked this before, A LOT of time. Thanks Great Job
Thanks for this video. 2+ years later, it's still helping people. My first time taking a carburetor apart...thanks to you!
This video still saving the day in 2022!
Great video! Thanks! I got my won't start Troy-Bilt running on the first pull thanks to your instructions and walk-through.
I need a neighbor like you!!!!
Awesome! Same situation exactly. My neighbor brought theirs over to me and I had no idea what to do but a first pull start after cleaning the carburetor! You rock man!
I’m proud to say that I fixed my own rover tiller by following these instructions. Thanks very much.
This video was extremely helpful!!! Never worked on any tiller. First time ever. Was able to open and put it all together with the help of this video
Three days of trying to fix this and you are a savior super easy to follow steps
Hello SommerRose thanks for viewing and thanks very much! Great job really nice machine, this one started right up for my neighbor this year as well! If you can find any non ethanol gas available in your area its much better for small engines that will sit for extended periods of time as well.
Thank you for posting this. I have an earthquake tiller and it is very similar in design. I followed your method and it had the same issues. After I cleaned the carb it started up on the first pull.
This video helped me so much on a bronco tiller. Thanks!!!
I know this is an old video but it was so helpful! I have the same model tiller with the same problem. I followed your video and am back up and running in no time. Great video!
I had the same problem with mine and the same tiller. Followed your video and fixed it up perfect. Thank you!
Thank you so much. Your video helped me rebuild the carb on my Troy-Bilt Tiller. I got it from a relative and it was sitting around for 9 years! Totally filthy. Wouldn't start. Like the one in the video the jet was completely plugged. Video was a great help to me. I never rebuilt a carb on anything so this was an encouragement for me to try and fix it. Tomorrow I give it the test 'field test'.
My turn to thank you! My Huskee tiller would only start with gas in the air cleaner and then die. Luckily it has the same carb as that Troy-Bilt. 20 minutes after I watched your video mine was running again. Hard to believe it was that simple after I'd struggled with it all day and was ready to set fire to it...heh.
Thank you so much for the information on how to do this repair. With your help I was able to fix my troy built rototiller that had a gummed up carb also. It runs just like new now!
Hello George thanks for viewing! This was my neighbors Troy Bilt he just used this recently and it also started right up for him since this repair. Great job on doing your own repair, that is one nice tiller!
AMAZING! haha! It's actually running now. so much simpler than I thought it would be thanks to this video! You're awesome!!
Like others who have comments, a mechanic I am not! Things were going very well removing the carburetorha until the very last task of pulling out the valve. I simply couldn't tell what kind of screwdriver to use. It was difficult to look down into the hole. I decided to give its a good shot of cleaner and hope dit would work. There was a lot of crud in the bowl which I cleaned out as well. I gave it a pull and with a surprising backfire it indeed started. I wish I could I could have pulled the valve out but was afraid I would break
something by forcing to much. All in all, though, I was happy to get it going. Thanks!
Thanks for your post, I picked one of these up yesterday. Wouldn't run the people I purchased it from said it had sat over a year and half. Sure enough the jet was plug and then I found the filter inside the fuel tank was dirty. Runs great now!
Thanks for the video. I followed it and was able to get a Troy Bilt Super Bronco going after sitting for years. It was totally clogged up. I would add to check that the the float valve works before reassembly and a tip to get a stuck jet assembly is to put a flat blade screwdriver into the barrel and push the assembly out.
Really great video the close ups and details.
This was just what I needed. THANK YOU!!!!
hay thanks a lott I just got my tiller running again due to you video
Exactly my problem. Thanks for the video. A tremendous help!!!
Hello Gene thanks for viewing! Your very welcome and thanks very much. My neighbor just used it this week it started right up and runs great!
I'm glad that I watched your video. I had the same problem. Great Great video!!!
If you made a 2 hour movie, I would watch it. Outstanding.
It is less possible
Thanks for the video! I believe I have same problem, only runs when squirt starter fluid in carb.
Great Job! I've found that storing my equipment with no fuel saves this. Also, the local Marathon station has a pump that sells "RV" fuel. It's a 90 octane fuel with no alcohol. It's more like the gas I remember back in the 60's and 70's. It is more expensive than auto fuel, about $1 a gallon more, but runs very well and stores better. Keep up the good work....
I understand that the reason for adding alcohol is to consume over-produced corn. While alcohol helps reduce pollution, producing alcohol in such way increases pollution as producing fertilizer for corn grow is a polluting thing.
Great Video! I took a chance a used non running tiller just like this one. I followed your steps. It had the same problem. I had it cleaned and running in 20 min. Thanks,
Thanks for the video it helped me fix one I just received. I cleaned the carb but didn’t clean the jet well enough
This is an amazing machine Cliff.
Hello Steven thanks very much! The engine finally smoothed out and got another very happy neighbor as well really to dig the earth!
Outstanding video.
Thank you for the video. Very informative and now I know what I need to do if this happens with this tiller. I have the same one. :)
Excellent work
Excellent video - thank you!
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for this video. I have the same Tiller that's been sitting under shed for 3 years. Won't start. Was hoping new plug would help but no. I'm going to attempt to do what you done and see what happens. I live in the south so if I don't soon get it running it will be to late for a Spring garden. Seems not many shops want to work on any thing you start with a rope anymore. Everyone just wants to turn a key.
I watched a few of these videos on Honda type carburetors. Your was excellent. From the other videos I did manage to get my carburetor cleaned properly properly. I wish I would have seen your video first. I don't know if you're up for doing any editing of your video, but I did encounter a problem during my rebuild. Perhaps others can learn from it. After I removed the primary jet, I had difficulty getting the longer nozzle out of the center of the carburetor. It was stuck with corrosion and wouldn't fall out. Using a screwdriver through the throttle plate I was able to push it a little bit like a 16th of an inch to clear the carburetor throat, but it would not come further. I went and got some monofilament fishing line and I was able to clear the obstruction inside with an large needle. After I was able to clear the obstructions in the longer atomizer I used a piece of monofilament fishing line from my salt water gear. I fished it down the hole and through the body of that atomizer and then tied a big fat knot on the end of that was exposed in the carburetor throat. The knot was large enough to not fit back through that hole so by pulling on the opposite end of the fishing line with some significant force I managed to pull it out of the carburetor body. After I got it all cleaned up my machine started on the first pull. I have another piece of equipment that has the same carburetor that has some starting issues, now I have confidence that I can get that pressure washer working. Thank you for a most excellent video. For the first time I subscribed hit the like button and shared your video. Well done sir, and thanks for helping your neighbor. That's missing so much nowadays. 👍👍✌️
Your neighbors must love you Cliff!
This machine makes it a lot easier than using a hoe or a horse with plow (as long as you don't run over your leg)
Hello David! You still on the BBQ road, yes sure beats the hoe which is what my father first introduced me to as well as the tool called a shovel! Much easier to pull a rope, plug in your music and hopefully not dig up something (Basia) would not want me to dig up!
I grew up using the hoe helping my parents with their garden which was 100 feet long and 40 feet wide - this exposed all of us to an assortment of fresh and wonderful produce growing up.
I've played the role of the animal pulling a "plow" thru the yard to help save my grass...LOT of work!
Arrived back into NH last night
I'm here a month, then to China for 2 months
Looks just like the replacement 'Predator' Harbor Freight engine that is on mine. The 'needle valve' on the carb is a bit tricky; 1/4 turn at a time to hone it in. Also the small gas intake tube up on the gas tank cracks easily and leaks air. I put tape around it so far and it works.
Thanks for your help 👍
Excellent, I have that same machine with a different label. No more hauling it to the small engine shop!
Most helpful!! Thank you
Great video! I have this exact model and have been suffering through the exact same problems. I even bought a replacement carb ($68), but just cannot keep it clean between seasons. I tried to disassemble the carb to clean the jet, but I just could not get the jet screw to loosen up and come out. So I thought that it was pinned into the carb body, but it does have a slot for a screwdriver. I was able to run a small wire through it without removing the jet screw and that worked once, but not on the second try. I will try again to unscrew it because rebuilding is definitely cheaper than buying a new one! Any advice for keeping it clean over the winter? I run it dry, but that doesn't seem to help much. It still looks like the carb in your video, i.e. clogged. This machine has the "no-name engine" and Chinese ("huayi") carb. The carb seems unusually prone to fouling. I've had the machine for 5 years, using it just in the early spring to till my garden. I am on my 3rd carb. I hope that I can get one of the clogged ones apart enough to clean it. Thanks for the GREAT VIDEO!!!
Ty this video was very helpful
I'm going to tackle this tomorrow ! 🙏👍🇺🇸
Sure helped me out today...thanks bud except I did not remove carb..just the bowl and nozzle/jet/float tube and sprayed carb cleaner on whatever I can get to cleaned the nozzles/passages with a loaf of bread wire (took plastic off and left bare wire)....and it started like a champ
Great video. Thanks for posting it. I have the opposite issue. When I crank it over, it fires right up then loads the cylinder and then shuts off after white smoke from being rich. That's with a brand new carburator. The needle valve does seal as I tested it. Any advice would be appreciated.
GREAT VIDEO! You probably saved me $100.
Pretty massive machine if I can ask who’s making the engines for those now
Great video
Hello Norman thanks so much for watching!
SO, I have a CRT troybuilt, newer model, about 5 years old now. Worked great first 3 years, then 2 yrs back had the carb rebuilt. THAT cost me a about 300 bucks, this year it wouldn't start again! So I took it upon myself to try and save some money. CLeaned out the bowl jet and that insert behind it. Still won't run. It's not getting fuel into the carb is my best guess. I suppose I'll take it down again and see if maybe I screwed something up. Im NOT taking it back to a SER again.. this sort of helped, but even tho this one "looks" a lot like my pro line, the engine is a B&S on mine...lots more hose's and crap attached on it. Oh well guess I will try again... good video man. BTW I say not getting fuel, because it will start if I feed a little into the top of the carb, runs until that's gone then dies...
Hello GW thanks for viewing! You got a really nice machine they must have started adding these newer engines in the past few years. Prefer the Briggs and Stratton engines, sounds like something is still plugged up and/or the float is not moving up or down allowing fuel in the bowl. Is fuel flowing from the gas line ok when disconnected from the carburetor? If so then if you take this apart again you will see if any fuel is in the bowl if so then something within those nozzle/jet needs to cleaned again. Spray out everything with carburetor cleaner (wear safety glasses!) . Where the needle sits that passage is where the fuel comes in. Make sure that is free and you blow air into that inlet with the float bowl out. If no fuel then that float is sticking try moving it up and down with your hand make sure that float pin is clean. Hey been many times I have taken these apart more than once to figure out what caused a blockage. 2nd time is a charm! Just make sure everything is really clean including all those little holes in the nozzle. Let me know what you find, thanks!
Thank you.. do you think it would be possible to turn the machine on its side and take the bowl and everything off without having it take that carb completely off
Good job, what do you think about treating tank fuel with sea foam, that material seems to help keep my old motors running smooth, also I never use ethanol gas,
However I have heard some areas you can no longer buy non ethanol gas,
Those look like great tillers, never was able to afford a tiller like that,
I have one just like that. It sat for 4 yrs. I tried to crank it a wk. ago and still working with it. I got the carb. off and cleaned. Noticed the gaskets did not have any seal on them so I left it like that. Put it back on and carb. leaks. Bought new gaskets and put them on, still leak. I then ordered some gasket sealer and put it on. The thing still leaks. What am I doing wrong???
Really nice looking machine. Its a bit disheartening to know that Troy Bilt has gone to using "no-name" engines. I've heard that they are now made by MTD. That doesn't mean they are junk. It does mean that that machine probably won't last as long as my fathers tiller. I guess that's our new reality across the board. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Charlie thanks for viewing! You are so right this was such a well know brand as your father had that would last a generation or 3. Still see some of those older ones around, mergers, mass production, cost savings and that key word stock holder value has changed all our great products. They need to include fuel cut offs on these no-name engines, the specs calls it a Troy Bilt engine. For this one to be that new this really should not have happened. Will have a happy neighbor to get this back running will see how well this over time will hold up you take care Charlie!
Actually it’s not disheartening at all. These are Powermore brand engines that have proven to be more durable and longer lasting than Briggs or Tecumseh ever were. The roller bearing on the crank is nice, like my CR500R, and I love how the fast acting governor doesn’t loose any rpm as it comes under a load. I have 3 of these engines in commercial service and have never had fuel related issues, or any issues with the motors at all. I saw the comment that this happened because of a lack of a fuel shutoff. It’s not because of a lack of a fuel shutoff that the carb in the video plugged up, it’s because of using regular gas which has ethanol in it that starts to go bad in as little as 30 days. The trick is to buy only recreational fuel which is 100% gas with no ethanol. With a 4year shelf life you do not need to drain the fuel or run it dry at the end of the season. Simply leave it in and start it easily the next spring. Regular gas with 10% ethanol should only be used in cars as it is used up so quickly it doesn’t have a chance to go bad.
Thank you also for the walk around of this machine.
Good job getting that one working. I wonder if that Engine is a one of those MTD Powermore Chinese Honda Clones. The Carb kind of looks similar carb on a powermower engine I attempted to get to working on a trash picked lawnmower.
It needed a new Carb ($50) and primer ($10) and wasn't worth it.
Hello D Fields thanks for viewing! It is indeed one of those clone engines whomever makes these. Hard to determine from the SN # or engine stamping where they are made, Troy Bilt specs call it a Troy Bilt engine? Seeing these on pretty much any kind of power equipment now in the local home stores. The carburetor looks much like what is on Kohler engines, the few I have worked on seem to be ok just not sure of the long term reliability. I agree with you, even to find a trash pick freebie not worth spending $60 or more on that lawn mower.
Where did you spray the carb cleaner after 5 minutes? Into the hole below air filter? thanks
On my snowblower I took that center needle out and it starts every time on the first pull, I did install the shut off valve so every time I am done snowblowing I shut the valve off and just let it run to burn up the gas in the carburetor.
Thank you
Mine's a 2008, these tillers hasn't change much. Mine use to run good but now only runs on half choke, must be carb issue. I just like to know why theres no fuel filter on Troy-Bilt, motors need clean fuel to run right......
YUP Freakin' good machine. Got my Dad the 7 HP job with a Kohler engine. Never had trouble
till 25 yrs later. He thought it was the carb altho he always turned off gas a few min. b4 shutting down engine, same as I do with a 91 Sporty 1200, shuttin gas off a few blocks from home to not
leave gas in the carb.Turns out it was the magneto. made enough spark to run about half throttle.
After that, ran like well u know. he put in a new carb, still w same issue. I hookt up reg. car ig. coil
thru battery and engines points. ran perfect. took the battery out an hookt car coil between
the wire from magneto low voltage winding, other side of coil to the points. The magneto is
a step-up transformer as is the automobile ignition coil. 200 turns medium wire to 20,000
turns much finer wire. The reason a coil will not work good is either dampness which can be
sometimes fixt by putting in an oven at lowest setting for a few hours, altho Mom was not
pleased at all. or a bad condenser. The magneto works by induction of mag field. Anyway
Magneto coils do go bad, they arc over internally reducing 1,000's of volts to plug. AND not
knowing a mag can get weak, one thinks it could be the carb. Got ?'s I'm at
bikerguygarafano@gmail and I hope my experiences can help you. Sincerely
Bikerguy
thanks, works on new craftsman as well.
I did fine up to the point where the video paused, then restarted and you said "the hardest part was getting that fuel line off" but didn't tell how you did it. Mine's really stuck and I'm wrestling with it and twisting but it's starting to crack and split. Any tips? Wiggling wouldn't do it, the line was fused to the connector, used a small flathead screwdriver all around to work it loose. Got it all cleaned and reassembled, cranked right up! Lot of smoke initially until the oil burned off the exhaust. Thanks for the video, very helpful.
Guess I’ll be pulling the carb and checking the spark tomorrow
One thing I've learned with this fuel that has ethanol or what I like to call corn syrup, sta-bil fuel treatment & sta-bil fogging oil for long periods of storage
Hey I have the same model and white smoke comes out of mines when I crank it up
I didn't see where he replaced the gas with new fresh gas. After all, that's what got this tiller in trouble last fall!
Outstanding video. Very helpful. I have the exact same tiller giving me the same problem.
Question about the choke...once its running, does the choke need to be wide open?
No - choke on - start - choke off
thanx
I just need to know how to crank it while using the buttons and switches. I'm old, and my few IQ points are dying off. Since I don't run it very often, I forget how to use the choke. There needs to be a video for old folks like me who keep trying to do things for themselves.
everybody that has one of these machines has the same issue .if they sit for a few months ,they will not start until you clean everything up inside the tank and carburetor. Mine was only used once last yr and it still wouldnt crank this yr without doing the same darn thing..
Have the 2008 model. Troy Bilt Super Bronco Troy Bilt no longer carries the Carburetor bowl gaskets. You have to buy a new Carburetor. Where can you find the gaskets by themselves?
Thanks for the video, wish it actually showed you putting it all together rather than saying what you were gonna do and skipping to when it was done. But still appreciated.
If it’s not the carb, then it’s the carb!
That is a "CHonda" Chinese clone, I think it's a sign of the times of manufacturing to stay competitive. Every one that I've repaired work great.
Hello Glen thanks for viewing, a few message also called this as being a Clone Honda engines as well. The Troy Bilt Super Bronco engine Specifications just list it as a Troy Bilt Engine. Repaired a neighbors Generac generator that had the same type of engine and they called it a Generac engine! They seem to run fine not sure of the long term reliability but you see these on just about every type of power equipment now. As you say a sign of the times for competition and I am sure as well as that common phrase "stock holder value".
when it cycles up and down like it is the low speed jet is still not clear totally.
Nice video and help
But you do not have to take everything off to clean this Carb.
Just ubder this carb u have two screw and oone on middle take out and clean hem easy for two mins. Only.
Yep. This should be the very first thing you do every spring. Vice grip the fuel line. Drop the bowl and clean it. Remove the float and clean it and the jet. Blow the carb out. Put the float/jet back in. Make sure it cycles freely. Put the bowl back on. Remove the vice grip from the fuel line.
Also check valve lashes
👍
Change the fuel filter around once every year or so
Sounds just like mine
Most walk behind tillers have the same problem is...won't start easily
IT APPEARS YOU ARE USING A STANDARD SCREW DRIVER BUT YOU SHOULD DISPLAY THAT TOOL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
