Tiller woes

The tiller won't till. I got it to do the reverse-till feature but before going far the engine conked out under the load. The engine sometimes will stop running after several seconds even after a load. I tried a belt to get the forward-till to work but, possibly because there wasn't enough tension, the machine just scraped the belt. It's time I changed the engine and fixed another idler pulley.

If it is a pulse jet carburator on a Brigg and Straton, but a complete rebuild kit. Replacing the diaphram only will not do the trick. The jet screws can get damaged easily. Also the tension spring on the governor can be stretched and/or the linkage is wrong.
