I bought a 2 cycle tiller at an auction last fall. Chinese, of course. It was late in the year, so I never actually fired it up. I pulled it a few times, and it tried to fire, but was very low on fuel. I just chalked it up to low fuel and put it in the shed. So, this spring, I decided to use it to cultivate my asparagus patch. Fueled it up, primed it, and it fired right up. Ran great. Did my tilling and put it back in the shed. Now, I wanted to do some more light tilling and had a terrible time getting it started, but after a fashion, it did start. Would not run. All it would do is fast idle with full choke. No throttle response at all. I'm thinking something is wrong with the carburetor. It has a nice hot spark, but floods out really easily. I'm thinking about replacing the carburetor. I have seen bad spark plugs cause some unusual running problems, so that also crosses my mind. Very frustrating. At the same time, I needed to replace a fence post that had rotted off. Got out my Chinese 2-cycle powered auger. Added fuel, primed, and started on the first pull. Ran wonderfully. Drilled out the old remnants of the rotted post, re-drilled the hole, and replaced the post. This tempts me to take the engine off the auger and put it on the tiller. With my luck, it will be different enough to not work.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: How to Remove a Broken Bolt - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
