917 295350 Craftsman Rototiller Fuel Supply

[NCBoy]

I'm working on a rototiller a friend got at auction. It ran fine at first, but quit,and can't be restarted. It pops out of the carburetor, but won't really fire. We suspect fuel inlet needs cleaning, but the carburetor is mounted directly to the top of the tank. I haven't seen that design. Anything I should know before I start into it?

yes. it takes 3 things to make a gasoline engine run. Always figure which one is missing before you dive in deeper. Guessing is not a good reason to tear something apart.

We need the numbers off of the engine as well. The manufacturer only made the chassis but not the engine.
