"Update below"
Results will be forthcoming! I will continue to use the Mantis tiller for as long as it allows. I just don't know why it started smoking all of a sudden. I am not criticizing Mantis tillers; in fact, I really enjoy using them. They are amazing little tillers, and I understand that things happen occasionally. However, I am not accustomed to a Honda engine creating these types of problems. Once I find out the cause and solution to this issue, I will post the results!

"UPDATE"
The mantis till is working fine, I think I have found the problem and that problem was evidently my fault. I must have overfilled the oil due to uneven area that the manis was sitting on when I changed the oil. I adjusted the oil level to its proper level and the smoking was over! Runs Great!!
(I would highly recommend these little tillers and would definitely repurchase one if needed! )
