[AT] Semi OT....Troy Bilt Junior Tiller issues

[Larry D Goss]

You left out one important step for Tecumseh's, Jeff.  FIRST, make sure the 
carburetor linkages are hooked up correctly.  Tecumseh's are the only ones 
that purposely cross the linkages so that it is not intuitively obvious how 
they are supposed to be installed.
