I got a Troy-Bilt TB 225 mini cultivator from my brother. He was gonna toss it. He said he has to replace the carb every year and doesn’t want to keep doing it. I replaced the carb. It was $17 with new fuel lines, spark plug, replacement primer bulbs, fuel filters, and gaskets. If this thing only need $17 in repairs each year, I’ll keep it until it just won’t run.
Anyway......
I replaced the carb and it started right up. But it won’t run slow. It should run slow enough that the clutch doesn’t engage but it won’t. I’ve backed the idle screw all the way down. The carb has 2 adjustment screws, high and low, but they require a special tool that I don’t have YET. But these carbs are supposed to be pre adjusted. Is there something else I need to do or do I need to order that adjustment driver?
BTW, my plan for this is to use it to run a homemade pump on a shallow well. I hope to be digging the well in the next couple weeks. I’ll post about that when the time comes.
