  If your Midland Tiller engine is difficult to start, first, ensure you have fresh fuel. If that's not the issue, check that the engine switch is turned ON. Also, the engine may not be primed, so press the primer bulb 3 times. Other potential causes include a disconnected spark plug wire (attach it to the spark plug), a fouled spark plug (inspect and replace if needed), a dirty carburetor (take it to a service center), a clogged air filter (remove and clean it), or contaminated fuel (drain, clean, and refill the fuel tank).

  If your Midland Tiller's engine smokes excessively, runs rough or erratically, or can't maintain full speed, first check the engine oil level and add or drain oil as needed. Also, inspect the spark plug and replace it if it's fouled. Clean the air filter if it's clogged. If the fuel is contaminated, drain and clean the fuel tank before refilling it with fresh fuel. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the carburetor may need adjustment by an authorized service center.
