This type of pull starter design is very poor and fails often. Cheap parts and cheap design leads to poor performance and yet Troybuilt still doesn't give free parts or an upgraded design.
On my 4-cycle garden cultivator tb-144 the starter rope pulls free and does not engage when pulling the rope. It's like something is broke.
Sorry Mr. Fixit, I don't think that is what he's talking about. I've got the same problem with my Troy Bilt cultivator. The cord takes back up just fine. It just does not engage the engine. It just free spins.
collapsed, not allowing the crankcase to have a negitive presurre. The other possiblity is the cylinder rings may have to much blow by thus forcing the oil out throught the dip stick tube. Check the PVC system first.
