Probably needs a carb kit, check main jet and main fuel inlet jet, is the spark crisp, fat and powerful, try running it with a borrowed coil as this may have an intermittent fault. Is fuel cap breather working or blocked, these small carbs are very sensitive. Make sure all is well with gaskets and diagrahms. Good luck the Yeti

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: How to replace air filter on Troy-bilt TB20CS?

May be air filter but sounds more like your muffler is stopped up. First take the muffler off and see if it runs better without it. If so, burn the carbon out of the muffler and clean the muffler port on the engine. If not, then remove the four screw at the very end and disassemble. The ait filter is in that area.

SOURCE: troy bilt 4 cycle string trimmer wont stay running

If this is an old unit, then the diaphragm is probably hardened.

Tests before hand would be:
1. Is the gas fresh and water free?
2. Is the spark-plug clean and snugly fastened?
3. Are you using the correct gas to oil mix ratio in your fuel?
4. yes...yes...yes...= bad diaphragm. Probably less than $5 for the part and a 1/2 hour to replace the part.

SOURCE: Need info on putting line on troy bilt 4-cycle

Hold orange spool containing string while twisting the black plastic cap in the center, counterclockwise. This retaining cap is loosely spring loaded, so watch for the spring falling out. Once this locking cap is removed, the spool pulls right off.

My Troybilt 4 cycle trimmer, it is leaking oil.

Look to see where the oil is coming from. Take part of it apart , if necessary. It is most likely either a gasket or cracker housing.

Why does the oil from my 4-cycle Troy Bilt leaf blower run out through the air filter?

Keep it running and you soon need a new leaf blower. When an engine trows out oil it is just a matter of time till the engine gets hot and stalls. It is not important where the oil is coming from, just let a tech check and repair the blower engine.

What oil weight is used in the TB 575

If it is a 2 cycle motor, then use an appropriate 2 cycle oil. I use a synthetic oil that 1 bottle is mixed with 1 gallon of fresh gas.

I have a troy bilt string weed cutter 27cc TB21Ec and need to know the oil gas ratio. I just read that it takes straight gas but my cap on the weed cutter where you put the gas says gas/oil mixture

Don't know that exact trimmer, but I always run 40:1 in all my trimmers, chainsaws, etc. That is 3.2 oz. of 2 cycle oil to one gallon of gasoline. I rebuild these machines daily and run that mix in everyting, except when it's actually specified on the machine.

Troy built 27cc string trimmer Model TB21 EC. What is the gas oil mix ratio?

4 cycle engines do not run on mixed fuel. Run on straight fuel. They have a spot to put oil in just like a lawn mover, and should be changed regularly. @ stroke engines run on mixed fuel.

TRIMMER RUNS UNTIL PUT UNDER LOAD, THEN JUST DIES

The fuel to oil ratio your using may be wrong. The usual mix to 40 parts of gas to 1 part oil. This works to be about 1 1/4 gallons of gas to 3.2 fl. oz of 2 cycle oil.
You should also clean the air filter on the trimmer.
