- This isn't one of our typical videos. While this video is less focused on gardening, it's a very important topic to gardeners that are operating small engine machinery to help them with their gardens.
This video covers all of the annual maintenance tasks that are called for if you're operating a Honda FG110 Mini Tiller. This work is very important to conduct on a regular basis to keep your tiller in full, operating condition. From the oil change, to the air filter to servicing the transmission, we go through 100% of the service we perform on our tiller every year.
We don't plan to do many of these kinds of videos on equipment maintenance, despite maintaining a half dozen or more small engines in our fleet. This is kind of a one-off, since it's highly relevant to gardening and that's what this channel is about. That said, we do want to be "all encompassing" from the front-end of gardening to the back-end, and everything in between.
Even if you're not a mechanic, the maintenance on this unit is 100% within the grasp of anyone willing to try it. While there is a skill difference between growing things and working on things, they both deal with problem solving and getting things done. I am not a mechanic or even what I'd deem a "shade tree" mechanic. I just do the work that's necessary, follow instructions and try to save a lot of money through DIY whenever possible. It's not particularly difficult once you learn the basics and understand what you're looking at, which is exactly what we show you in this video.
We don't expect this video to be particularly popular. Instead, we aim for it to be helpful, fulfilling and targeted to those who also own a Honda FG110 tiller and might be interested in performing their own maintenance. That's something you'll learn about us. We march to our own drum, not necessarily the beat that video platforms or viewers may expect us to.
This tiller has been great for us, we use it every single season. It's been with us for quite a few years now, on account of us servicing the unit on a regular basis. It's a very important tool in our gardening assets, so we want to do everything possible to keep it well maintained.

Excellent bro. !!!!!
The manual says to fish out the fuel filter, which is hanging on the end of the fuel pickup tube inside the tank, using a piece of wire to inspect. I mention because your description made me think it was inaccessible without removing the tank or something. Thanks for the video.
Yeah. I didn't really want to get into the fuel filter because I was trying to stick to annual maintenance. It's generally not serviced, so it's only a problem if its clogged. Thanks for the comment!
I put way too much oil in it, now it's blowing oil out in the intake air filter. Any ideas what I screwed up and how to fix it? Thx in advance.
I would correct the oil level first. Check it on the dip stick before you start the machine, it should be halfway up the stick when its right. If the air filter is super saturated with oil, it's a good idea to clean it out and re-oil it again.
With the oil, it isn't hours as much as age. The oil get's contaminated when you run the engine. Letting that oil sit for long periods damages the cylinder walls etc.
That is conventional wisdom, yes. But, if you're not actually operating the tool, I think "fresh oil" is of marginal benefit. We typically run in spring and do maintenance in the fall, so "most" of the storage time (winter) is with fresh oil.
VERY HELPFUL. WELL SPOKEN THOROUGH AND CONCISE . THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORT. RICK, TENN.
Thanks, Rick! Appreciate the comment. These kinds of videos are tough to make and don't do particularly "well" since they are so specific. So, we're glad it helped you!
