You may find it's cheaper to just replace the motor. If the cylinder walls are aluminum and scratched up, my guess is the motor is junk. Take the spark plug out and look inside.
It may be possible you have too much oil in it.
Harbor freight sells a small motor for around $100 on sale.
I've seen Briggs go for around $160. Shop around on the internet.
You may also go to the garden trator sight on YT and ask their opinion.
You may buy a complete tiller at a yard sale or craig'slist for less money than the price of a motor.
I have a 2500 psi pressure washer. Replaced the pump on it once. If it blows another pump, I'll save that 6.5 hp briggs for a tiller.
My advice is shop around and try to find another motor.
