Mantis Tiller Oil Out of Air Filter!

10 years ago

Hi - I just finished rebuilding my mantis 4 cycle tiller. I replaced the carburetor file lines, etc. When i was refilling tiller with engine oil I noticed oil dripping out of the air filter !

Found out the reason: I had the tiller oriented the wrong way when I was adding the oil. Owner's manual says to to check ol level you should place the tiller on a level surface and rotate it forward until it rests on it's gas tank. I did that but it was not oriented the right way.

I cleaned up the mess but not sure if I should disassemble again (not easy) to do further cleaning.

Any help greatly appreciated!!

Pete
