Find your Mantis tiller model number on the frame or in your owner's manual, then browse our parts below. Same-day shipping on most orders means you'll be back in the garden faster than you'd think.

• Carburetor won't idle or stalls under load: ethanol damage to the float needle; Mantis carburetor kits are your fix

• Tines don't engage or slip: drive belt worn or transmission clutch issues; belt and clutch parts available
• Tines bent or worn flat: tine sets replaceable; front-tine and rear-tine configurations differ by model
• Recoil starter stuck or won't catch: spring or rope assembly failure; replacement starters in stock

Mantis Tiller Parts & Repairs — Frequently Asked

Why won't my Mantis tiller start, even with fresh fuel?

Ethanol in gasoline corrodes carburetor floats and needle valves — that's the #1 Mantis tiller no-start issue. Drain old fuel, clean or replace the carburetor, install a fresh spark plug, and your Mantis will likely start right up. If you've done that and it still won't turn over, the recoil starter or ignition module may be the culprit. Use your model number to find the exact carburetor kit or starter assembly for your engine (Honda or Subaru).

How do I find my Mantis tiller model number?

Look on the frame near the handle, or on the engine block itself. Mantis tillers often have both a tiller model number and an engine model number (e.g., Honda GX or Subaru EX). You'll need both to order the right carburetor or spark plug. If you can't find the label, take a photo of the tiller and engine and our parts specialists can help identify your exact model.

What's the difference between a carburetor rebuild kit and a full carburetor replacement?

A rebuild kit includes gaskets, O-rings, float, and needle — enough to restore a carburetor that's otherwise sound. Full replacement is the right call if the casting is cracked or the carburetor body is damaged. For most Mantis tillers with ethanol damage, a rebuild kit is the faster and cheaper fix. Pair it with a new fuel line and primer bulb for best results.

Can I replace Mantis tines with aftermarket parts, or do I need OEM?

Tine sets are largely interchangeable within Mantis's front-tine lineup, but always verify the tine count, shaft diameter, and spacing using your model number. OEM tine sets ensure correct depth adjustment and durability. Bent or worn tines are easy to replace and will transform your tiller's performance in hard soil.

Find the Model Number on Your Mantis Tiller

On Mantis tillers, look for the model number label on the frame near the handle, on the engine housing, or near the recoil starter. Check the owner's manual too, especially if the label is worn or difficult to read. Be sure to use the tiller's model number, not only the engine model or serial number. Enter that number in the model number search to pull up the parts matched to your unit. It filters the full Mantis tiller parts catalog, including engine, tine, belt, starter, and control parts, so you can compare parts for the entire machine instead of guessing from appearance. With the correct model selected, you can order with confidence knowing the fit is right.
