  2. I have a tiller with the GX25. I cannot seem to get it started. I can’t figure if the choke should be in the up or down position. In the middle it will run for about 2 seconds.
    by the time I get to the switch, it stops running. Please help me!

    • I had the same problem, motor is on a mantis tiller. Bought the service kit for it. Kit comprises of air filter, fuel filter, spark plug, oil, gaskets .
      Try the fuel filter first
