Mantis 2-cycle tiller won't keep running
I changed fuel lines, fuel filter, and broken purge bulb. I serviced trottle cable and lubed all moving mechanisms. Changed spark plug. The engine will fire and start but dies in a few seconds. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My garden is needing help.

Hi Arch--
Sounds like the engine is not getting any fuel. You may need to remove and then clean out the carburetor. While it is all apart I would check that the float isn't broken or cracked. Carefully spray some compressed air through the carburetor jets and ports, as this will help you verify that all those tiny channels are open.
--Hope this helps.
