I have a MTB 5hp Rototiller, and when I have it in choke it runs fine, but drop it in to run and dies... Any help appreciated. Thanks! =)

If you have not changed any of the mixture screw settings then I'd say you need to drop the bowl of the barb, clean it and the needle valve and seat.

Or the high Speed mixture screw (The fatter one) is too tight.

It's best to use small engine 4-cycle oil, otherwise 30 wt

Use at least the mid-grade gas and use a fuel stabilizer like Sta-bil.
