Thank you so!!! Much! My husband and I got one of these in a garage sale the week before my dad passed away. Needless to say I’ve taken a year to actually work on it. I’ve got all my parts taken apart just to get the primer bulb out. I don’t have my dad around to help me (he called me his grease monkey) so I had to resort to RUclips. You really have helped. Thank you again and God bless!
Awesome Wyatt glad to hear this video helped you out! Thanks for watching
Great video JB, I really enjoyed the detailed tear down and assembly. If your open to new customers I’ll have to reach out about the lawnmower drive issue. Enjoy the weekend!
Thanks a lot Nick! Glad you enjoyed it! I can’t take on anymore work right now because I’m backed up in the garage and have other things coming soon! What seems to be the drive issue? Belt? Transmission? What kind of mower do you have?
Does that type of mini tiller need gear oil or lube for the gearbox? I just snagged one for 20bucks at garage sale, like to know before I go full send in the dirt. Looked through the manual online but never saw anything about gearbox besides replacement
Depends if yours has a port to add it . If it does then it’s worth checking!
Awesome video! I have a yard machine tiller doing the same thing. So that’s what I will try for the fix! Btw Amherst NY checking in! Go Bills!
Awesome neighbor! Thanks for checking out the channel! GO BILLS!
I've got mine running by cleaning the carb. and replacing fuel lines. Would like info. on how to actually get the fuel line with the fuel filter to actually 'poke' through so the fuel line is actually secured as it was when new. I just can't get it pulled through with the barbed connection.
Hey Mike unfortunately I sold this unit after I got it running. I would have to see exactly what you’re speaking of in order to give the best directions. Feel free to email photos to me. Thanks for watching!
I messed with the carb settings on mine today. How many turns should I do on each screw initially to start out with. I replaced the primer bulb and fuel lines today but it still needs more work to run right. I may need to remove the carburetor and do a thorough cleaning like your video.
Hey stoolie I would have to see the carb and hear it to see what you have to do in person to help you get it back where it belongs. Perhaps you can take it to a local shop and they can help you.
Hi JB. Thank you for the detailed instructions. my problem seems to be that my fuel lines got brittle and broke. Do you happen to know what size fuel lines this unit takes? I have the same 15 yr old tiller. Great unit. Thank you!
Hey broch! I sold this unit a while ago so I don’t have it anymore. I would buy a multipack of lines and see which one fits best.
@@GarageGear Thank you! Actually, I just came across such a kit by a company called PowerCare that's carried by Home Depot and other such places. I will probably check that out!
Awesome video JB! Really enjoy the details. I have a Mantis that could use an oil change. Would make for a great video! Enjoy the pool today! It’s gonna be perfect! Cheers neighbor!
Hey Jay! Glad you liked the video! A lot of people are telling me that they like watching tune ups and repairs so maybe I’ll keep more of these coming! Definitely enjoyed the pool yesterday! My father in law had me tune up a mantis tiller just recently but it was a small 2 cycle. Yours is a 4 cycle big boy?
Yep it is. Another good pool day today too!
@@jaybooth4815 thought so! Definitely is! Hope we get a little rain though! Lawn is drying up! Fingers crossed!
@@GarageGear yeah mine too.
Man I have the same tiller and it not Running good at all I'm not really that mechanically inclined so I took it to a shop they told me the carburetor alone would cost $200 so I told them to forget it any recommendations on what I can do to try and resurrect my tiller?
Hey Yankee! If you follow along with what I did in this video you should be able to get your tiller started. A can of carb cleaner at autozone is about $7. Might be worth a shot. Thanks for watching!
@@GarageGear thanks JB I'll give it a shot! What's the worst that can happen lol 😆
@@yankee1219 worst thing, it still doesn’t start. In that case try again or put it up for sale lol. Best thing, it starts up! Thanks for watching!
Almost it is the carb issue, when hard to start, Nice job
Cleaned many two cycle trimmers the same way! Usually works unless there something else wrong with it! Having all new gaskets can help too but these were all fine to clean and reuse! Thanks for watching another Kjell!
I just pulled one that a lot like the one you have there but the fuel lines are toast. I'm trying to find the part number on the tiller but can't seem to find the placard. Do you know where it would be?
Hey ever! I’m assuming on the underside of the engine somewhere. Usually a white or gray sticker.
I went through that gas , carb, lines, filter, tank repair, last year. this year "no spark", model 21A-121R700 31cc yard machine cultivator 40 to 1
I would take it to a shop, my friends. Sounds like you may have some other issues going on with it. It’s hard to say, without me looking at it.
I "think", I figured it out, I think it's the flywheel key. I have one to strip if I take it back apart. and that's it. As I have a junk one that's started knocking after almost a decade of use. Lucky I saved it for parts.
@@janbill79 oh ok cool! Give it a look👍
Thanks for sharing
You got it! Thanks for watching!
Isn't using the air compressor bad cause you can shoot all that fine metal and little shit into the carb itself and scratch it up more etc? So it won't run properly
Good question but this has never been an issue for me. I spray the carb out thoroughly then used the compressed air to dry it all out. Never had a problem doing this. Thanks for watching Aly!
Awesome!!! Thought for sure it was bound for metal picking
Every machine gets a fair shot in the garage! Couldn’t solve the engine block wiggle. It’s only held on by one screw and there was no way to replace it or put in a second without disrupting the driveshaft. Cheap manufacturing and design. 🤷♂️ Seen similar on some trimmers before. How’s the yard looking?
@@GarageGear front yard looks good! Needs leveling, so that will be next year’s project, as we have some house repairs that need to me done before the snow starts up again in a few weeks 🤐
@@garydunnjr8176 cool my friend! I hear ya! 90 today! 30 tomorrow lol!
OUTSTANDING. Nicely done. Thank you!!!
Thanks for watching ic!
Where ya get your sheet of filter foam?
Hey FLINT! I had a mechanic give me a big sheet of it a while back and that’s all I left now lol. I put a link in the description. They sell all kinds of sizes and thicknesses. Find it a lot cheaper just to cut them to size. Gets the job done! 👍
@@GarageGear Thank you!
@@BigDaddysGarage 👍ROCK ON Flint!
lol Who Needs a Gym membership get you a engine that wont turn over Core workout lol, Great Video JB !!!!
Absolutely my friend! God knows how many times I pulled that thing lol! Picked up a like new toro mower at a Clarence garage sale for a steal! Got some cool videos coming up on that! Stay tuned bud! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
@@GarageGear Very Nice!!! Cant Wait man!!
How do you remove the clutch to put on another motor, original motor is locked up?
@@ArronHester-x7o hey Arron hard to say without actually looking at it. I sold this unit years ago. I am willing to bet there are 3-4 bolts at the base
Never liked those carbs pain to clean
💯agree!
don't lose the spring... OH NOOOO 😂😂
Hahaha wasn’t that funny? As I’m saying don’t lose it… poof… gone! Luckily I found it right away! Those suckers are small! Lol! Got anything cool planned today Smallblock?
@@GarageGear 90° in my neck of the woods so the wife, daughter, and I are going in the pool. then I have a softball game in the evening.
@@smallblock412 sounds like a good plan my friend! Have fun!
@@GarageGear quick question have the same unit ran poor with old carb but still started. Ordered brand new OEM carb. Now doesn't get gas through carb ?? I'm outta ideas after 2 days
@@clterry07 I would try to get a new carb
Are you good at working on boat motors?
Hey Glitch! I actually never worked on one before. Can’t imagine they’re much different than what I’ve been done before! Engine won’t turn over?
What size fuel line? id/od?
I no longer have the unit so I cannot provide that information! Thanks for watching
please let me know what size of gas line use for the roto titler? I have the similar model but do not know the size of the gas line. Thank
I no longer have the unit so I can’t specifically say unfortunately. Thanks for watching!
What can go wrong with the on/off switch?
Wires get disconnected
You dont happen to know how to replace the incredipull string assembly on this model do you? I have cleaned/replaced all parts but my problem the the pull string doesnt have the tension or pull back in right.
@@maryberger4001 hey Mary! I no longer have the unit so I wouldn’t be able to tell you
You must be single....or you don't use that annoying shtick around the house.
Thanks for watching
