If the garden soil that you are planning on tilling is too dry, you should consider adding water to it before you till. Less is usually more, but water to a depth of about 4 inches. Let the water penetrate the soil before you begin the tilling process. This will usually take a day or two.
How do you fix a locked tiller motor?

- Pour an engine release/anti-seizing liquid into the engine through the spark plug hole.
- Wait 24 hours as the liquid works through the engine.

What happens when spark plugs are dead?
An engine will misfire when bad spark plugs delay the combustion effect. A misfire means one or more of the cylinders in your engine are not producing the power they should. Misfiring motors work harder to maintain power, which saps fuel economy. It also leads to long-term damage if you do not fix the problem.
