How to troubleshoot a Fort Tiller when the engine won't start?

  Michael EvansJul 26, 2025
  If your Fort Tiller's engine won't start, several things could be the reason. First, ensure the fuel level is at least half full and the fuel cap is open. Confirm the accelerator is in the START position and the control cable isn't broken. Check that the electrical cable in the accelerator isn't grounded when the lever is in position. Also, verify fuel is reaching the carburetor or injector, the vent on the fuel cap isn't clogged, and the carburetor inlet filter is clean. Clean the carburetor jet with an air jet if it's dirty. For gasoline engines, check the spark plug for sparks. If no spark, check the connections and replace the plug if needed. For diesel engines, make sure the lever is in the down position.

  If the speeds or the PTO on your Fort Tiller are engaging with difficulty, first check that the clutch control lever is vertical when released. You can also facilitate the engagement of gears or the PTO by slowly lowering the clutch control lever.
