I have an old (1970 something) Troy Built tiller that up until now has been great. I just went to use it for the first time this year. Pulled the cord and it fired up on the first pull. I throttled it back and it ran for maybe 5 seconds. Since then, it will fire up if the throttle is fully open, but if I don't throttle it back, it floods and stalls out and if I do throttle it back it sputters out. Fresh gas and an oil change at the end of last season before putting it away.

Any quick fixes/suggestions as to where to look?
