OK, I finally got my 7hp tiller going after some time. I have resolved an overheat issue and now am on to new issues. Here is the problem I started and ran the motor in a tank for about 5 minutes. All was well, idle fine revved nice ran at correct temp it actually purred, I was about to take it to the lake for a trial run but, I went to put the hood on the motor and it died. I started it back up and it would only run when fully choked. Once I would start the motor (fully choked) I would take the choke off and it would die. After some time it would not even start. Could I have flooded the motor? Can the fuel pump need to be rebuilt? Can it be a carb issue? I will try again to start the motor after it cools and sits, but what can be the issue here. Model # 72HA I think the hood thing just may be a coinicidence.
