    Briggs & Stratton 5 HP model 130292
    I have a rototiller with a Briggs & Stratton 5 HP motor, model 130292. The motor makes a high pitch squeal while running and the starter rope comes out a few inches. I see by a previous post that it might be the clutch assembly. How can I verify before I order the part?

    Could the ratchet be bad and hanging up on the crank shaft? If so, can I replace that part or do I have to replace the whole assembly? How would I know?
