An MTD Tiller engine running erratically can stem from several causes. Ensure the choke lever is in the OFF position. Check the spark plug wire is connected and tightened.

Also, a plugged vent in the gas cap or water/dirt in the fuel system can cause this issue; clear the vent or drain the fuel tank and refill with fresh fuel.
