Hi Kevin.  Yes If it's just lacking power then it does sound like a belt issue.  Possible the intermediate pully has lost it's spring tension, the springs were pretty soft. Check the belts haven't gone thin due to wear.

Also something to look for is make sure both rollers are driving, if only one roller is driving that can give you a similar lack of power feeling.

The intake tube is bolted on to the top of the engine block with two screws on the exhaust side, so you can only check those with the engine cowling off.

As for supplier, you should be able to get one of those diaphragm and gasket kits locally from your nearest mower shop, or virtually anywhere online such as,

They are great fun to do, I usually manage to roll them on with my hands. Haven't done one for a while though.

Quote from: Changy on June 06, 2023, 10:28:02 AMI think the gasket between the carburettor and the fuel tank is flimsy and known for causing issues.

The older Spirits with the Sprint engine on them do require a new diaphragm and a carb clean occasionally.  Diaphragm and gasket part number is 795083 very easy to fit. Just try to get the old gasket off in one piece when you strip it, just in case your plastic carb is distorted which can be remedied by doubling up the gasket.

Also make sure plastic intake tube isn't cracked or loose and make sure the o-ring is located into the carb.

Thanks.  So it's a primer version, now they normally start very well so my next question will be is it priming?  Primer button, and the little hose must be in good condition, and because it relies on pressurising the bowl to push the fuel up the main jet the bowl seal must be sealing properly. You should be able to see fuel being push up into the venturi when you press the primer button.

General Discussion / Dug out my old Merry Tiller
June 03, 2023, 07:05:47 PM
Dug out my old Merry Tiller today.  It's been sitting outside with a old barbeque lid over the engine. Started after about five pulls and apart from the throttle cable being seized up it worked fine.

This machine when I picked it up it had a rather worn out 4HP engine on it,  so I stuck a 5HP Briggs on as as you can see here.  I was operating tiller with one hand while filming on my phone.  Also notice it still has the original Eastern Tractors sticker on it, they supplied the machine originally all those years ago. I also worked for Eastern Tractors some years ago.

Hi Dave, and welcome to TGMF.

Going to be honest and say I'm not familiar with this machine at all. A little investigation required on your part unless someone else knows about a known fault with this machine.

It would normally mess about slightly before dying if it was fuel, so I think you're on the right track with the safety or ignition side of things.

Does it still have a spark immediately after it cuts out?

On Your Bench / Honda FG200 Tiller
June 01, 2023, 07:39:40 AM
Had this Honda FG200 Tiller on the bench, came in for a carb clean but n further inspection noticed the link wasn't on the throttle shaft, someone had broken the top of the shaft off.  Fitted a Second hand shaft to get them going.

General Discussion / Re: Spark plug conundrum
May 28, 2023, 03:16:36 PM
I'm not sure on the difference without researching, but we only use NGK plugs, and would fit a BKR5E which is the same profile as the Champion requiring the smaller socket to remove and refit it.
