HOODELL C1U-K82 C1U-K54A Carburetor, for Mantis Tiller 7222 7222M 7225 7920, Echo TC-210 HC-1500, Premium Cultivator Carb, Plus Rebuild Kit Primer Bulb Fuel Line and More

Our Mantis tiller is about 20yrs old and the only thing I ever did to it was replace the sparkplug once, it just always ran. Went to use it yesterday and when I put gas in the tank the carb started dripping on the ground. Found and ordered this carburetor on Amazon and placed the order. The new one was delivered this morning and install was a breeze. Keep in mind that the new fuel filter in the tank will need submerged in gas awhile before it will relax the material and allow the primer bulb to pull fuel to the carb. Once the install was completed the engine started on the second pull and ran like new. No low or high speed adjustments necessary. I especially like that the carb comes with 2 air filters, all new fuel lines, gaskets and a sparkplug. I wish I would have changed the carb several years ago when it first became hard to start.

I ordered this replacement kit yesterday, and received it today, late morning. I have a 20+ year old Mantis tiller. Haven't used it in at least 8 years, and expected carb problems since it is a 2 stroke. I did a complete servicing of everything on the tiller, except the carb and related things. The original had issues with the fuel primer not functioning correctly. Probably a clog in the upper portion, as primer bulb would not fill, but would flood the carb. Anyway, it took about 15 minutes to swap carbs. I am mechanically inclined. Unlike the reviews I read, my rubber plug fit the fuel tank correctly. In addition, there was a 2nd plug packed in the kit. I don't know whether there was a size change over the years, but the kit has been updated. I knew that my spark plug was good, and the engine would fire with the old carb, but only for a second or two. Once I completed the swap, my tiller started on the first pull. I did tweak the adjustments on both high and low slightly, and was still getting a slightly fast idle. The idle adjustment did nothing through its entire range. I used the tiller for about 15 minutes, and the idle did slow down, so was able to make the necessary adjustments then. I continued using the tiller for a few hours off and on, and it would start with one or two pulls, depending on how much it had cooled down. No complaints whatsoever on the product, and the other items in the kit, which I will have for future use if necessary. I have a number of gas powered pieces of equipment, and have learned that it just doesn't pay to fuss around with the old, when a new carb is so cost effective. In the past 2 years I have replaced 3 carbs on different lower use maintenence equipment, all purchased here at Amazon. I've had similar results on all occasions. I love it when things just work! Just guessing, my Echo backpack leaf blower will probably be next in line come fall.

Perfect!! Totally worth the money spent. The ONLY thing I had to do ‘special’ was trim the yellow-tinted tubing a little. Otherwise, everything was a perfect fit. BEFORE I replaced the carburetor, it took many, many attempts to start it and when it was running it ran rough or would stall out. AFTER I replaced it with the new carburetor, second pull and it ran like it was new! Incredibly happy with the purchase, how quickly it arrived, and how easy it was to install.

Everything seems to work but gonna have to make some adjustments can’t complain about for the money and everything it comes with

So, I thought about giving this a 1 star rating so people like me that go directly to the reviews that are negative would read this. Didn't want to do that and effect the seller in a bad way. I had reservations about buying this as there were some people that either were reviewing the wrong item, didn't know what they were doing or something else. Anyhow, I got this for a Mantis that my wife purchased back in 2007 because she 'needed' one. I haven't done much to it maintenance wise other that air filter, spark plug and gear grease over the years. I don't always use it every year and when it does get used it is small jobs and mostly edging the driveway or sidewalk. Needless to say, for the price compared to the Mantis option I thought I could take a $12 loss if it didn't work out. Prior to buying this I pretty much disassembled the original carburetor and cleaned everything with spray cleaner and probed around in the different holes as best I could. That really didn't make much difference. I have always been able to get this running but it was a problem over the last 10 years or so and I had to do things like keep the choke partially closed or get it to full throttle and keep it there until I was finished. Now, the only issue I ran into is that the tolerances on everything are very tight. I initially had a thin silver flat washer from one of the screws that secure the carb to the engine and didn't see where it came from so, I just added it to the screw on the rear side of the engine along with the already existing flat washer and lock washer. Well, when trying to screw that back in it simply would not catch. I attributed that to the new gaskets as well as the fact that I did not have an existing gasket between the air cleaner/choke assembly and the carb body. By laying the machine on it's side and applying enough pressure while screwing the screw I got it to catch. Not so nice as now the choke would not operate as there was too much pressure to allow it to move. So I took the carb back off and looked a little deeper at things. Come to discover that the thin silver washer that I did not know where it went was actually supposed to go in the center of the choke flap. That creates enough space between the air cleaner/choke assembly so that the choke flap does not get compressed to the point it doesn't move. I still had to apply a little pressure to get those 2 screws that attach the carb to the engine to catch the threads in the engine, but I attributed that to the new and gaskets, including the one that I did not have previously. I also replaced the spark plug with the one provided and set the gap at .025 as that is the closest I could get to the recommended .024-.028. I also installed one of the provided air cleaners. They are a little different than the OEM filters, but I think they are an improvement. So, the moment of truth. I put some new gas in, primed the fuel system with the pump, went with full choke and it started on the FIRST pull. Wow, just wow. The only adjustments I made were to increase the idle somewhat and I had to lean the high mixture about half a turn. I let it run for a while but did not put it to work. Next day I went out and it started on the second pull and I used hard it for probably 30 minutes. If I knew this was going to solve my problems so easily on inexpensively, I would have done this years ago. Do not hesitate to buy this if you are having any sort of problems with you Mantis running like it did when it was new. Do it now.

Bought this for an old Mantis tiller I got at a garage sale that I couldn’t get to run very well. Installation was super easy and it came with everything necessary to swap out the old carburetor and a spark plug as an extra bonus. Price was awesome and now I have basically a brand new tiller at a fraction of what a new one costs. Would definitely recommend!

Works great on my Little Wonder Mantis Tiller 7222. Direct fit. Needed a minor adjustment to the idle and high-speed screw. Fuel line worked great, just had to change to the smaller grommet to fit the gas tank.

Update: It's now mid-July and the tiller keeps firing-up perfectly. Really shocked this no-name/overseas carb has put up with my weekly use and in our 100F heat here the last three weeks. Usually the priming bulb cracks and dies but this is still working away. I often leave the tiller outside since we don't have rain often and the tiller is filthy and I'm too exhausted to deal with storing it every time- so even more points scored on this. I read the reviews and was a little apprehensive but had no choice as my local (and only close by) Echo dealer stopped keeping carb kits and other parts in stock due to inventory cost controls and supply chain headaches. ECHO’s own ordering site stinks and their shipping and delivery speeds are awful. Anyhow, I had to have my tiller running and was desperate with summer heat coming. Thia carb’s high/low adjustments were set perfectly. I popped it on and it fired up after about 10 good pulls to get fuel i the new lines and carb. It fires up every time and this has been about two weeks now and heavy use. I did take a close up of the hi/lo settings and the the throttle screw in case they vibrate out of position. My only request. as others have noted is that the tank fuel line grommet is barely 1mm bigger than the diameter of the tank’s hole. I had to take a fine file to carefully reduce the grommet diameter. The tank’s super hard plastic doesn’t give so if not careful you could kink or tear the fuel lines. it has to be a tight fit to avoid leaks or fuel igniting outside the tank understandably. For this price, and to have all the parts, plug air filter, carb and fuel lines- this was awesome and i’d buy one every year if needed- beats the hell out of waiting for weeks trying to buy local.

The kit installed easily and brought the tiller back to life. The air filter is not like the original but seems to work.

good quality

Likes: - easy to install; worked without any adjustments; fuel line grommet fit in the gas tank. Dislikes: didn’t use the air filter as it was the wrong size. No big deal as they are available at Home Depot. Didn’t use the spark plug, but will save it for later. I’ll have to remember to keep using fuel stabilizer to avoid this in the future.

All the parts are mostly useable. The filters were wrong for my tiller and the grommet for the fuel lines etc. was too big. I exchanged the tubing to the old grommet and everything is good. Otherwise the carburetor is a good replacement for the original.

I could not get it to start with the adjustments it came with. After adjusting it I got it to run perfectly.
