I think Ariens Tillers bought them out. Try Troy built also. I used to sell
Bolens tractors and mowers in the 70's.

B&S engines are not tiller specific. Briggs dealers, repair shops are
everywhere. Your described problem is the recoil starter, This uses a flat
coil
spring to rewind the starter cord. sometimes there is too much slack in
the
spring, common when the starter cord is replaced. Putting more tension on
the
spring before attaching the cord will solve that problem, Sometimes the
ball
and slot mechanism ( pawl) will become too dirty for the balls to drop
back
into their running slots. A couple of shots of WD 40 will usually cure
that.
