Why won't my Stihl MH 700 Tiller engine start?
- X
  xhallAug 22, 2025
  There could be several reasons why your Stihl Tiller engine won't start. One possibility is that the fuel tank is empty, in which case you should refuel the tiller. Another reason could be that the main switch is set to the 0 position; if so, press the main switch. It might also be due to using inferior, dirty, or old fuel. Try using fresh, good quality unleaded petrol and cleaning the carburetor and fuel line. A detached spark plug socket or a loose ignition lead can also prevent starting, so ensure these are properly connected. Lastly, a dirty, damaged spark plug or an incorrect electrode gap could be the culprit; clean or replace the spark plug and adjust the electrode gap if needed.

Why is my Stihl Tiller smoking so much?

  David GrayAug 27, 2025
  If your Stihl Tiller produces heavy smoke, it could be due to several reasons. First, check the oil level in the engine and drain any excess oil if it's too high. Also, inspect the oil bath air filter and clean or replace it if it's dirty. Finally, ensure the tiller is positioned horizontally, as an inclination of over 15° can also cause heavy smoke.

  If your Stihl Tiller engine is overheating, several factors could be responsible. Dirty cooling ribs can cause overheating, so clean them. Also, check the engine oil level and top it up if it's too low. Earth covering the engine surface can also lead to overheating, so remove any earth. Finally, reduce the engine speed if it is too high.

  If your Stihl Tiller engine is difficult to start or the engine power is deteriorating, it could be due to several reasons. Water in the fuel tank and carburetor, or a blocked carburetor, can cause this issue, so empty the fuel tank, and clean the fuel line and carburetor. A contaminated fuel tank can also be the reason, so clean the fuel tank. Additionally, a dirty oil bath air filter can cause starting problems, so clean or replace the oil bath air filter. A dirty spark plug may also be the reason, so clean or replace the spark plug. Finally, check the fuel, as using the incorrect fuel can also cause these issues.
