For an additional $30 you can upgrade to the FastStart 2-Cycle Tiller. Starts the engine with 75% less effort. Here's how it works: FastStart features a spring-loaded, ratchet-recoil to adjust the piston and compress air while delivering fuel directly to the ignition point. One smooth, easy complete pull is usually all you'll need for faster, easier starts with much less effort. Choose the FastStart option when you order your tiller.
When ordering parts, you may need to locate the SV number of your engine. The SV number is located between the gas tank & the carburetor, behind the gas line, on a black and silver tab on the silver engine housing.

Customer Testimonial
We really love the 16" Mantis tiller. I studied all of the little tillers that might be in the same category as the Mantis and am very pleased with my decision. This tiller is great for all kinds of jobs from big to small by removing the outer tines. The Mantis tiller starts very easily and is easy to transport from one place to another. Hope you all enjoy your Mantis tillers like I do!"
