Why my MTD Tiller engine fails to start?
- JjefferyromeroJul 26, 2025
If your MTD Tiller engine won't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the spark plug wire is securely connected. Next, check the fuel tank; it might be empty or filled with stale fuel – refill it with fresh gasoline if needed. Also, verify that the throttle control lever is in the correct starting position and that the choke is in the ON position. A blocked fuel line or a faulty spark plug could also be the culprit, so inspect and clean or replace them accordingly. Lastly, if you suspect engine flooding, wait a few minutes before attempting to restart, avoiding priming.
