1. Make sure you are getting spark. If not correct problem. (I found a large mud-dabbers nest under my re-coil cover.) 2. If you are getting spark, you might have bad fuel. If your using older fuel with ethanol, it might have water in it. I started to use marine fuel in all my yard equipment, generators, etc. to avoid this problem. It is more expensive, but the results are worth it. I hope this is helpful.

We replaced the carbuerator on our Log Splitter and it runs fine.Don't know what's wrong with your tiller.

Never got the my generator to run, vacuum valve is wore out. So I have a new carberator that I can't use.

Have a check for spark the in the magneto if that's good check the plug make sure it's not grounded or bad your plug wire and that the choke is not staying engaged

make sure that the air filter is clean, but sounds more like the filter tube suction is stopped up. ELI

Francisco. There is a key (sort of looks like a fuse) that must be plugged into the side of the mower of it will not start. Make sure it is firmly inserted. I had the same issue initially.

I have the same problem on two I have. The exception is they only run 4 seconds. I talked to Moultrie CS and they said there is a reset button on the timer. Haven't looked yet because they are in the woods. Give them a call. Maybe they will get after it if there are more calls received.

Try your local lawnmower/yard tractor repair shop. I haven't resharpened any, but will give them a try.

Run a few pots of white viniger through. May have jiggle the on button for a while and separate times to get it going again

Thanks for the info! I opened up the housing and found that the plastic pin that forms a 'pivot' for the orange handle was partially broken. No hope of repair without buying new parts. So (like you), I rigged the switch to be permanently on! Still have all my fingers & toes after one mow.

The shaft on my Yard Machine 121r tiller snapped after not much use. The cost of repair was so expensive that I ended up junking it and buying an Earthwise TC70001 electric tiller on sale at Amazon for less than the cost to repair the Yard Machine (about $120 on a one day sale last Spring). I have a small garden and the Earthwise tiller does a better job of turning the soil than the gas Yard Machine, is more convenient (no mixing gas and oil, just plug it in), but just need to be careful not to avoid tilling the electric extension cord. Good luck!

I had the exact same problem and after reading this thread I almost went out and bought a new expensive extension cord. Before you do that give it 15 minutes to cool off and then try running it with the wheels extended so that it does not dig as deep. This did the trick for me. Since I was planting grass seed this gave me the perfect 3 inch depth I needed. If you need more than that you could put the wheels up as it's intended to be used and go over it again

Any Ace Hardware should be able to take care of the problem. Bring a sample of any remaining screws or the assembly instructions will/should have the sizes of the parts needed - that should put you back in business. Happy shoveling.

Yep, I've had an electric hedge trimmer for over 20 years. I agree with Kajunman...check to see if the vents are blocked with crud, and use a brush to clean them out. If it doesn't work anymore, my guess would be your motor burned out or there's a loose wire...

Mark, if its still within the warranty period return it for a full refund and don't order another one. I used mine very sparingly (10 times max) in my garage and then it suddenly stopped working. The sad thing for me is I have no recourse but to make it into a flower pot or throw it in the trash. Not much help but these are your options.P.O. in San Antonio

There are two other things to check...first is the timer control assy. If this fails to work you will get no heating. And the next and last would be the heating element. Do you use this alot? How old is your unit? Feel free to send me more questions if you need further help as I'm an power plant engineer by trade.

I had the exact same issue! I was still using my old one, waiting for it to actually die, like I thought it was going to 2 years ago. I took it to a local Toro repair shop (the day before my warranty was up), they sent it in, waiting on the replacement.

I am having the same problem. I don't know what it is or how to stop it. I thought maybe I didn't let it run long enough after I installed it, but with continued use, it's still happening.

If it were me, I would try unplugging the console module to clear and reset the entire thing. Good luck

Make sure timer is moving. I had same problem and replaced timer. It lasted more than 20 years.
