Honda Fg110?

Finally the follow up
I have put 6+ hrs on the honda 110 and would say that i like it better than the mantis my dad has. I have used the cheapy from TSC and cheap sears before and this is much better. 1st thing I did was take the wheels off as I see no reason to use them. I would reccomend this model to other TBN members looking for small tiller.

Same result here after maybe 3 hours' use. I take the wheels off for tilling and put them back on for storage. I used it to till weeds from an untended former flower bed and it did a great job, dug deep and didn't wear me out. And it starts so easy!

Used the little guy quit a bit probbley ran about 5gal of gas through it. Most of the time is put finishing touches on trenching projects.

My 2cents on anyone lookin for a small reliable tiller that starts easy and runs good this would be a good add to the shed. I have used other small tiller and this is much better on the back than most.

And as fyi this has not been in shed since purchase it rides in back of the service truck to every job with no issues.

Necrothread.

I've had my Honda FG110 for about 4 years. Yes, it starts and runs easily. However this spring when I started it up, I got a puff of blue from the exhaust. It ran for a bit more and now engine oil is coming out of the carb (and fuel is in the oil). I'm assuming headgasket, but I guess it could be horribly bad rings too.

It has probably 60 hours of use on it, but I have to say I'm a little disappointed in the unit.

If it was tilted or leaning too far over, the oil could have slowly seeped past the rings since the last time you used it. Change the oil, clean the carb jets and floats and then see if its still acting up.
