Rich, what motor series is on yours? I have a Troy Bilt Horse, with a 7HP Kohler, the engine series is a K161-T and it is gravity fed to the carb., no fuel pump on it.
I'm thinking yours must be an older model K series emgine, I'm not sure, but I think mine is either late 70's or early 80's, seems odd to have a pump if the fuel tank is above the carb, then again, I've got other Kohler powered things around, and I'm not sure as I sit here if any of those have mechanical fuel pumps on them, seem to recall some did, but I do know those Kohlers vary a bit and many were built specific to an application, like most small engines I would suppose. None of that is really of any help to you though, sounds like either the pick up in the tank is getting clogged or if it has a pump on it, the diaphragm etc. it's definitely fuel related.
One thing I like about this tiller, and I was real fortunate to find a low useage one owner last year, after searching for quite some time, calling for sale adds etc., finally got one. Those 7HP Kohlers start on one pull just about every time, even after sitting. My father has a later model with the 8hp Kohler magnum, it too starts on one pull. I made the first pass on my garden patches 1 month ago, which is really early here, even though the areas are facing south, top of the hill side etc., I look forward to tilling it every year.
