Wizard Rototiller

[borgward]

Wizard TILLER model# GIS 6790 486. Has Monkey wards 2 HP engine 60102 0391-02 78050 301 stamped on front recoil housing. Probably B&S. Given to me maybe 20 years ago. Looks like engine is replacement. Starts easily. Smokes oil. Any info on either appreciated. Recoil starter and rope has always been a problem.

Wizard was a Western Auto brand as I recall.

I have a similar tiller, I think its from the 80's. Has B&S 3.5hp horizontal piston. The biggest problem I have is the recoil as well, as the rope breaks every few years. I only till maybe 200 square feet, so it works well for that. Next time the rope breaks I think I will get a 1 way sprag setup to use my drill.
