I just bought a honda tiller from my friend. He bought it brand new and used it one time. its been sitting for about a year. I took it home and started it up for about 2 minutes and it died on me. I've looked everything over.. it has gas and oil and DID start for a minute... I check the plug and it has spark.. Does anybody have an idea as to what it could be?

What you haven't said is was the gas in there to begin with?..do you have the right spark plug.( be surprised at how many people put the wrong plug in their unit)..how about the air filter?...new?..or been sitting in the unit?..Need a new one..Gas is the biggest culprit of problems with air cooled engines...if it is old...( 3 weeks)..from when you actually bought it..not sitting in the can in your garage...put that in your car...spark plugs come already gapped these days...but, your carburerator could be gummed up from bad gas...that is what will happen with most any air cooled engine...honda is a top of the line engine..so, take care of it, and it will take care of you...might want to take it to a sales and service dealer in your area for a tune-up...well worth it with this unit...just look under gasoline engines in your area and you will find a sales and service dealer....

Take a clean the air filter, carberator, change the old gas out, if it has a fuel filter (some do some dont) change it. Go ahead and change the plug or at least make sure it is gapped right and also take the cover off and clean the magneito.

Many of the honda engines have a fuel shut off on the carburator. Did ya check it?
