My cable has stretched and need to know if the plastic parts on this cable have to go onto the new cable?
It depends on the replacement cable. If you see the plastic parts on the new cable, then you don't need to retain them from the old cable. If the new cable does not have the plastic parts, you will have to swap in your old plastic parts onto the new cable.
I hope this helps,

Testimonial: "Thanks Robert all I have to do now then is look for a cable that doesnt have the bent metal thread at the end then I take it and figure out how to get the plastic parts of mine to put on the replacement cable when I find it"
SOURCE: My 2 stroke mantis tiller will not prime.no fuel
I had the same problem, get a rebuild kit. It sounds like the diaphram is shot. Also make sure the prime bulb doesn't have any holes or cracks, the engine won't run if it does
SOURCE: Would like to know what year this tiller would be.
replace primer bulb. If that's not the problem check the float in the carb for pin holes . check fuel lines and intake line
SOURCE: what is left to do but change the flywheel?
check what they call air gap between the coil and flywheel .010-.012 gap
also be sure your flywheel is in time.
you will actually have to remove it to do this and check for the sheared key or be sure the key way aligns with the crankshaft keyway on the flywheel
SOURCE: My Mantis Tiller 4cycle engine
I had same issue with my 2 year old 4cycle. Check if the carb is moving full stroke with throttle movement. I had almost no movement at carb at full throttle, found the trigger in throttle handle was cracked and bent rather than pull cable. I called mantis and they promptly sent a new handle bar ***'y with new cable, throttle ***'y Etc and that solved my problem.
BTW: If you cannot wait, I did figure out that if I pushed the carb to open with the throttle trigger fully pulled it would run at high, but when you let go.....LOL

SOURCE: MANTIS WILL NOT IDLE
I had the same problem. I adjusted the throttle stop IN until I got an idle without touching the throttle.
I
also have Mantis tiller for 2 years. From the very beginning I had
a problems. I was referred by Mantis to the repair store and was charged $90.00
for oil drainage. The second time I was waiting for handle replacement for ~ 1
month. This tiller can't handle even little jobs and the warranty doesn't worth
a dime. Maybe I will be more successful using it in my living room . I have an
equipment with Briggs and
Stratton engines and I never had a problem.
To me Mantis mean big advertisement and waste of money.
