[MikeinTassie]

My 1998 ish tiller will not run unless fully choked and some gas goes down the throat!
I had the carby cleaned and replaced the gasket on the side of the barrel, needle adjustment makes NO difference ---- has anyone got a cure for me, please?? Best wishes Mike!

I assume this is a Briggs & stratton engine?

As you have just had the carburettor rebuilt , it is likly that the build and or the refitting to the engine, have resulted in the air-fuel mixture being too lean. Most often this is the result an air leak or blocked jet.
The B&S numbers you supplied indicate a fuel tank mounted carburettor - there are a number of areas where incorrect part fitting or a missing component, could result in an air:fuel mixture problem,.

Thank you Skippydiesel, the jet is clear, tried 6 settings from go to nearly falling out!
I have to put my thumb over the intake to seal it before it'll start then it runs like crazy! BUT Remove the thumb and it dies! It is the strangest fault I've ever come across!I guess I'll have to get a new set of gaskets and some sealant
