Sounds like you need to take the carb. apart and clean it. I like to use a Den Tek Brush, (used for cleaning teeth), to clean the small ports in carb. they work great for this job. Make sure to either clean or replace the small screen in thcarb. as well.

SOURCE: Fuel line size for troy built TB20CS weed eater

You probably have found the solution by now I would assume... TB won't tell you this because they want you to buy their stuff..
You probably are looking at the 0.08" diameter that's just a bit smaller than the 3/32". Hope this helps....

SOURCE: What is the fuel line size for Troy Bilt TB525CS Trimmer?

Yes, something special to know. If the new fuel line is going into the gas tank, be sure to cut a steep angle on the end of the line going into the gas tank. This will allow enough of the line to get into the tank where you will be able to grab it thru the gas fill opening with needle nose pliers and pull it thru.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the tip, I will try that when I find out the fuel line size."

SOURCE: troy bilt tb70ss replaced fuel lines trimmer turns

The small diameter line out of fuel tank (has filter in-tank on end) connects directly to the side of the carburetor that has the fuel pump....that is the cover without the hole in it. Other larger diameter fuel line out of tank connects to the longer nipple on the external purge/primer bulb. The bulb "pulls" fresh fuel from the fuel tank to the carb and then out of the carb to itself, where it then "pushes" any air/old fuel back into the fuel tank. The remaining larger diameter fuel line in this setup goes from the metering chamber (has cover with writing on it and a vent-hole) side of the carburetor to the smaller nipple on the purge/primer bulb. Again, on the primer bulb, the longer nipple has a line going directly from it to the tank. This is the return line. The shorter nipple on the bub has a line from it going to the metering chamber side of the carb. If the purge/primer bulb is on top of the carb...small line from carb body to small hole in tank with filter. The larger diameter line goes from the bulb on the fuel pump side of the carb to the larger hole in the fuel tank where sometimes the line is held in place with a nylon nipple connector that keeps the line from pulling out of the tank. Otherwise, the line should enter the tank for about 1/2" or so.

My Troy Bilt TB146 EC (2010) Starts fine but dies if I'm not engaging the tines. Could it be a fouled carburetor?

It is possible that a fouled carburetor could be causing the engine to stall when not engaging the tines on your Troy Bilt TB146 EC tiller. A fouled carburetor can cause a variety of issues, including difficulty starting the engine, poor performance, and stalling.
To confirm if the carburetor is the issue, you can try cleaning it. First, turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire. Then, remove the air filter cover and air filter. Next, locate the carburetor and remove it from the engine. You can clean the carburetor using carburetor cleaner and a small brush or toothbrush. Pay special attention to the small ports and jets inside the carburetor.
If cleaning the carburetor does not solve the issue, other potential causes for the engine stalling could include a dirty air filter, clogged fuel filter, or a faulty spark plug. It may also be a good idea to check the throttle cable and governor linkage to make sure they are properly adjusted.
If you are not comfortable working on small engines, it may be best to take the tiller to a professional for diagnosis and repair.

Rope pulls but does not trun motor

Recoil may be broken or seized up inside so it won`t work.
I had a lawn mower like that and tore the recoil off and had to repair the flippers inside. Mine had a broken pin.

Which fuel line is the intake line at the carburetor?

The fuel line goes:
  1. From the filter in the tank to the carb, usually the bottom most connector.
  2. From the carb to the Primer. The tube in the center of the primer bulb.
  3. From the primer, outer tube to the fuel tank.

Need an operator's manual for a tb146 ec tiller

I believe that the tb146 ec is a Troy-bilt tiller, so you need the model number and the serial number to get the manual. Go to http://manuals.mtdproducts.com/mtd/Public.do?BrandCode=10001 . Then enter the model and serial numbers and click Search.

The plaque with these numbers is usually on the outside of the tine housing. It's generally in a spot that won't get damaged while the unit is in use.

I hope this helps.

I have a troy-bilt tiller TB146 EC that is less than one year old. I cannot start it. Before it stopped operating, I observed the following: (1) I saw smoke is coming out from engine. I think engine oil is...

Sounds like you put too much oil in it. Too much oil has to go somewhere and it's moving past your rings and into your filter.
Recheck the oil level.
