    What to do if my EarthQuake Tiller 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.

      Brandon SharpSep 1, 2025
      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.

      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.
