– When purchasing oil for seasonal maintenance, most small engines (such as those on push mowers) have total capacities of less than one quart (32 oz.) and most medium size engines (such as those found on residential snow throwers and riding mowers) have total capacities of less than two quarts (64 oz.).
Engine Maintenance
Because your tiller operates in dust and dirt, oil and filter changes are more critical than for lawn mowers and most other lawn and garden machines. At the very minimum, you should change the oil after 50 hours of use or at least once a year. If the oil looks dirty, change it more often.

ANSWER : I also was having issues with an old 5 horse Troy Built tiller that would fire when gas was in the tank then stop running. If it’s a Briggs and Stratton engine like the one I have it’s probably you can remove the muffler to gain access to the side of the carb. Remove the four screws and the cover off the fuel pump diphram and check to make sure that the rubber isn’t cracked or degraded. I replaced the one I had and it now runs like a champ.
