Engine stalls when engaging cultivator tines

Troy-Bilt TB144 4-cycle cultivator. 3 years old. Worked fine until a couple of days ago. Starts fine on the first pull, idles fine, but when I engage the handle to increase the rpm the engine stalls. Tines are not binding. Tried increasing the idle to check on binding and tines rotate slowly on their own. Changed the fuel filter, changed the fuel, cleaned and reset the plug, cleaned the air filter. What next?

    Thanks. Took everything apart on the cultivator, cleaned it all with carb cleaner, reassembled it and it now works fine.

Im 99 percent sure all you have to do is get the carburator cleaned out.

I have a troy bilt tiller with a 2hp motor.lately i have had to run it with the choke on and then when i engage the tines it will go dead.have any ideas thanks the engine is a tecumseh
You can check the linkage that links the governor to the carb. If that is fine then you can check the fuel line for a blockage, the carburetor for debris, and if that is fine then you may want to try sanding the rust off the magnet (on the fly-wheel).

Engine starts fine however it runs fast and then slow, fast, slow all the time it's running....what is that?
It is called oscillating, The carburetor may need adjusting or it could be caused by bad fuel. Manufacturer's school this year have told us, at every school, fuel over 30 days old is considered bad gas and needs to be replaced. You may even have a throttle or governor spring that needs replacing.
Good Day.

Only runs on full choke
You can try to open the high speed jet a little on the carburetor. This may fix the problem.

If you need more help, post a comment and I will get back to you

Troy-Bilt Tuffy 2006 model keeps having weird engine problems
Make sure you haven't used ethanol-blended gas in a briggs small engine. It will destroy the plastic internal carb pieces, thereby causing your carb to leak gas into the crankcase and flooding out the engine. If you check your gas it will be really thinned out, gassy smelling and black. It will also be overfilled.

Leaks oil around the tines.
 an new oil seal needs to be put onto the output shaft of the transmission.  remove the plug wire if you attempt to pry out the old seal and tap in the new seal.  Be careful not to damage the case and grease the seal and shaft when you replace the oil seal

Troy Bilt tiller dies when I engage the tines.
Bogging down may indicate debris or old gas in the carb. Try doing a carb cleaning, and add a small amount of Seafoam gas additive to your gas.

Troy bilt horse pto clutch will not disengage
The problem is lack of lubrication in the pto coupling. Losen the two swing bolts carefuly,block the front under the motor. Separate the tine transmision from the housing and grease both sides with as much grease as you can work in. Work the lever as you do this. Should fix the problem.
