We had one for many years and never had problems with the little
plastic choke. It was still there when the engine finally died of old
age. We bought a new one immediately as it's a wonderful tool. We have
a large, rear-tine tiller for the big stuff but the Mantis is good for
weeding between rows. I have the trencher attachment which I use every
spring to clear out the rows for the potato planting.
