Why EarthQuake 7050 engine will not start?
If the engine won't start, make sure to add gas to the gas tank. Also, ensure the spark plug wire is connected to the spark plug. For a cold start, the throttle must be positioned at choke.
What to do if my EarthQuake 7050 engine misses or lacks power?
If your engine lacks power, raise the tines for shallower tilling by lowering the depth regulator lever. You can also remove and clean the fuel tank, or clean/replace the air cleaner. Other solutions include replacing the spark plug and adjusting the gap, or draining and refilling the gas tank and carburetor. For improper carburetor adjustment, take the Tiller to an authorized Briggs & Stratton service center.
How to fix EarthQuake 7050 that is hard to start?
If the engine is hard to start, drain the old fuel and replace it with fresh fuel, using a gas stabilizer at the end of the season. Ensure the spark plug wire is securely attached to the spark plug. The drive safety control levers must be released to neutral to start the engine.
What to do if EarthQuake 7050 is difficult to control when tilling?
If the tiller jumps or lurches forward, lock the wheels in the tilling position. Additionally, raise the tines for shallower tilling by lowering the depth regulator lever.
What to do if EarthQuake 7050 belts squeal in neutral and/or reverse?
To address squealing belts, turn off the engine and allow the muffler to cool. Disconnect the spark plug wire and secure it away from the spark plug. Remove the belt guard, pull down on the drive safety control levers, and manually bend the forward belt guide to achieve 1/16 inch or less clearance between the belt guide and belt. Finally, replace the belt guard and spark plug wire.
What to do if EarthQuake 7050 Tiller tines turn, but wheels do not?
If the tines turn but the wheels don't, lock the wheels in the tilling position. If the problem persists, there may be an internal transmission failure, consult your dealer.
Why EarthQuake Tiller engine runs rough, floods during operation?
If the engine runs rough and floods, clean or replace the air cleaner.
What to do if EarthQuake 7050 belts squeal in forward operation?
To fix squealing belts during forward operation, turn off the engine and let the muffler cool. Disconnect the spark plug wire and secure it. Release the drive safety control levers to neutral, remove the belt guard, and adjust the tabs of the reverse belt guide. While the drive safety control levers are released, bend the metal tabs on the reverse belt guide to 1/64 inch or less clearance from the reverse belt. Replace the belt guard and spark plug wire.
What to do if EarthQuake Tiller moves forward during starting?
The drive safety control levers must be released to neutral to start the engine.
What to do if there is excessive heat build up in transmission/tine area during tilling of EarthQuake 7050 Tiller?
Remove vegetation by following the instructions in the Clean Tine Axle Shaft of Normal Care section, while adhering to all safety instructions. Also, check the transmission fluid and refill it if needed.
