    How to fix Cub Cadet RT 65 Tiller engine that fails to start?
    • S
      Sarah SmithJul 26, 2025
      If your Cub Cadet Tiller engine won't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the fuel tank isn't empty and that you're using fresh gasoline. If equipped, check that the throttle control lever is in the correct starting position. A blocked fuel line could also be the culprit, so try cleaning it. Also, make sure the choke is in the ON position and that the spark plug wire is securely connected. Lastly, the spark plug itself might be faulty, requiring cleaning, gap adjustment, or replacement.

      Alexandra ReynoldsAug 14, 2025
      If your Cub Cadet Tiller engine runs erratically, there are several things to check. First, ensure the choke lever is in the OFF position. Next, make sure the spark plug wire is securely connected and tightened. A blocked fuel line or stale fuel could also be the cause; clean the fuel line and refill the tank with fresh gasoline. Additionally, check if the vent in the gas cap is plugged and clear it if necessary. Finally, water or dirt in the fuel system can cause issues, so drain the fuel tank and refill with fresh fuel.
