How to Reseat the Flange

At some point, you may find that the tines won’t turn when you press the throttle. This may mean the engine isn’t sitting all the way down on the worm gear housing.

Perhaps you’ve been using your Tiller for several years. Or perhaps you’ve removed the engine for use with our hedge trimmer attachment, then replaced it. In either case, the flange bolt (Key #38, page

29)may have come loose and lifted the engine up.

If this happened you’ll notice a gap between the bottom of the engine clutch case (Key #39, page 29) and the top of the worm gear housing. (Picture 1)

To fix this, loosen the flange bolt. Take the engine off the worm gear housing. Notice the hex head on top of the drive shaft (Key #9, Page 27). Inside the clutch case, you’ll find the clutch drum (Key #31, Page 29). Make sure the hex head lines up with the clutch drum inside the clutch case.

Then put the engine back on the worm gear housing. Make sure the plastic carrying handle is not under the fuel tank.

If you’ve followed these steps properly, there will be no gap between the clutch case and the worm gear housing. (Picture 2) Make sure you tighten the flange bolt!
