This is a multipart question. I have an older Mantis tiller (probably 15+ years old) that doesn't start easily, and now it doesn't run at all. Cleaning the jets didn't do the job. I may need a gasket kit for the carburator. Does anybody know who manufactured the carb for these and where (other than Mantis, which will be premium priced) I can get a carb rebuild kit? Alternatively, is it economically feasible to replace the carb with a newer one with a primer bulb?
Also, are there aftermarket primer bulbs that can be added to old 2 cycle carbs to make them start easier? Except when it was brand new, this has never been an easy engine to start, unlike newer engines with primer bulbs.
Are there any forums dedicated to this type of problem where I can post this query if you guys don't have the answer on the tips of your tongues?
