Got one of the little egg beater garden tillers given to me several years ago. Guy that gave it to me couldn't get it to run. So I piddled with it and got it going. Really not good for much but stirring flower beds. But I been using it on little spots in garden.
Anyways last fall had issues with rewind. Threw it shed figured screw with it later. I dragged it out a week ago messed with rewind got that back to good enough. But then of course still wouldn't start. Seems was no spark issue. Well this thing doesn't owe me anything and I'm actually tired of small 2 cycle engines.
So I thought just scrap it.
Then my brain says wait let's see can I spin this thing with my good drill.
Someone with more knowledge of small 2 cycle engines and math skills. Could probably have saved me some piddling.
End results my 1/2 Milwaukee drill has enough torque but not enough RPM s.
Tiller is now in scrap pile.
Guess I should have consulted with Wolfie before I actually tried it.

if all you have is some little garden beds

or you can bust out the potato fork and potatoes rake I was busting some stuff up last night with the potato fork/rake combo you don't get the super loose soil but it works and no worry about getting it started.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
