Rototiller Repair; Troybilt Pony - Does Not Run
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 06. 2020
- Attempting to do some tilling around the house with my Troybilt Pony rear tine tiller. I have not used in a few years. I can get the engine started by adding a small amount of fuel into the carburetor. It is powered by a 5 hp Briggs and Stratton engine. I believe the culprit is a lack of fuel. It will run until the fuel added to carburetor is consumed. I believe the culprit is a dirty carb. Watch as I fumble through an attempt to remove the carburetor from the Briggs and Stratton engine. I make a few mistakes along the way. This could help prevent a few errors on your next tiller repair. Can I get this Troybilt Pony rototiller running again???? Watch and learn from my mistakes. I included a product link to some carburetor repair parts I helped a view locate. These parts will fit my tiller with Briggs and Stratton engine Model# 135292.

Nice work, roto-tilling at night; my favorite. Keeps my neighbors happy too. They will call and enthusiastically ask what the heck is giving so much pleasure.
I don't intentionally try to upset them, but sometimes I'm sure they are wondering, 'what the heck is this guy doing?' I think I win back some saving graces when I use my noisy equipment to plow their snow covered driveways. 🤔..... Thanks for watching and happy tilling! 👍😁
This was an excellent video and explanation of a carburetor clean and repair. It helped me a great amount as I tackled the same job. Well done filming and details to explain what was being done. I had a few questions after I was done and Andy was very gracious and helpful in answering them. He responded within the same day and I really appreciate that kind of service. I wish he was in my local area as I would use his services. I would recommend subscribing to his channel. Thanks Andy!

You are welcome! Thank you for your kind words. 👍 😊 Cheers,
Same tiller, same problem as of yesterday! Will be trying this!
I hope it works for you! Thanks for watching 👍
Exactly the same problem l have, will make sure l clean the line inside the gas tank
Thanks
Glad to help! Thanks for watching! 👍😁
Enjoyed the video
Thanks for watching! 👍😁
Thanks
Thank you for watching! Cheers, 👍😁
I have that same carb on a WIZARD REAR TINE, did all the same things you did.. twice lol
Sometimes it takes that second go around. Good news is the second time is at least faster haha. Thanks for watching and happy tilling! 👍😁
Oh, by the way, I have the Bronco. Nice tiller.
Great video !!! Got everything done and and started putting it back on engine and can't get the throttle cable hook up to the carb right ?? Throttle cable not connecting to throttle on carb ?? Help !!
Thanks! I believe I clipped it on the linkage before fully bolting everything in position. It's easier to tilt and manipulate into the linkage when it's free. If you look at the channels FB or Instagram page I have pictures of the carb linkage posted October 2021. Thanks for watching! 👍😁
I have the same tiller bought off a widow. Can't find the model number for it on the shroud so I can doc it for parts etc....Could you help me here with a model number PLEASE? There is a stamp number on the tube going back to the tine drive. Maybe they are all the same OR typical. Just need the seals for a repair. THANKS in advance.
Sorry your comment got lost as it was automatically held in the folder that required review. I will see if I can find anything tomorrow. It's suppose to be warmer out and I'll be able to see more in the daylight.
My Troybilt Pony tiller has a sticker indicating it is Model # 15008. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching 👍😁
@@FlatThunder Thanks my friend. I love this tiller and want to get some oil seals for er. There are no stickers on the shroud having come loose. Thanks again
Great Job! I think the same thing is wrong with ours. Is there any way to prevent this from happening at all? What a pain in the butt.
Thanks! There are several options to improve performance after winter storage. I recommend the following for best performance; use a fuel stabilizer during extending periods in storage, run the fuel out of the carburetor, and utilize a good quality fuel. They sell off-road only gasoline that does not contain ethanol. It's much better for aluminum carburetors though I've never tried it. Thanks for watching 👍😁
Whats the model # or serial number If you happen to have them for the tiller i need some parts for the same engine. I dont happen to find mine. Great video by the way. Thanks
My Troybilt Pony tiller has a sticker indicating it is Model # 15008. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching 👍😁
For Briggs, they are the model, type and code numbers. They are typically stamped into the side of the recoil/blower housing where you can't see them until you take it off. The model number of the tiller won't get you parts for the engine usually. Especially with Briggs.
Any idea what point gap and mag gap is on pony’s
I just looked for the information in the manuals I have available. I never checked my ignition system, but the manual indicates my unit has an electronic ignition without points. My best guess would be 0.015 - 0.020". Thanks for watching! 👍😁
Can you show me the governor linkage please
Check out one of my previous posts on FB or Instagram. The original posts were on October 27, 2021 and they should show what you need. Thanks for watching 👍😁

@Flat Thunder exactly what I needed, thanks!!!
Gary from jamaica assume were can i by one to bring to jamaica
Hi Gary, I'm not sure I tried poking around online but I'm limited to a Google search. I bet it's available, but I'm not sure where to look. Best of luck getting a unit, thanks for watching! 👍😁
Respect man one love
Most of the time its the clog fuel filter, trash in the tank, not getting spark, fuel pump, or carburetor solenoid There made cheap IN CHINA . My new pony just died on me for no reason what so EVER. I went threw the procedures any way, I found trash in the tank blew it out and the line and put a new fuel filter on and still wouldn't start. So i replace the carburetor solenoid! IT FIRED RIGHT UP > this is the replacement for the solenoid 694393 Fuel Solenoid Valve For 17.5 hp briggs engine> it should come with new wires and a plug end
Interesting. I have never worked on a gasoline engine, at least one that I can remember, that had an electronic fuel solenoid. They sure do not make the engines like they used to. Thanks for sharing. It might help others working on a tiller with a bad fuel solenoid valve. Happy you were able to get your machine up and running again. Did I read that correctly? A 17 1/2 hp tiller???? That's a beast.
@@FlatThunder I agree, in some ways its better for fuel mileage and horse power tho. This was on my 17.5 brigg engine on a troy bilt PONY a ridding lawn mower
You know what’s cheap the parts online, carb, gaskets, etc. but no we option to spend time with a challenge. I finally made mine work by doubling two used fuel pump gaskets🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
@@josepharagon8259 The shipping what kills ya on parts. You just can't go down to Auto Zone for lawn mower parts, They laugh at me. If i had a Auto store, it would be stock with lawn mower parts to
I couldn't watch, because I went thru the same ordeal a few days ago. Put a new carb on from Amazon. Its a bitch to get on the engine.
Maybe clean the old one up as a backup? I like the availability of spare parts, but try to avoid the Chinese carb copies.
@@FlatThunder If you clean the old one up and put in a new diaphragm it should work. If your tank is a mess any carb you put on won't work long. Be sure to look for a crack in the pickup tube. Mine is running ok with the chinese carb, cost me 20 dollars.
