GB in MN is correct about the carburetor being easy to rebuild. Some pick-up tubes are no longer available so insure the pick-up tubes are in good shape or available before you spend money.
Post model numbers from tiller and engine. I may have an owners/parts manual (free) for your tiller. Post the numbers and I will see. There are a few, very few, parts available for Gilson tillers.
I operated a Gilson tiller for about 30 years. It would not hold oil in the transmission and seals were not available. I installed a zerk fitting and shot it full of grease. I ran it for years this way. Then the Tecumseh ignition coil quit and they are not available. Gave it away for parts.
