Dennis, It appears there is none spec'd for the SV-5C-2 which generally the same engine as the SV-5C-12, just an older older model. Here I adjust for best top speed then tune slightly rich ( about 100 rpms from peak speed on the rich side) just like any other 2 cycle without a limited coil. Of course this is with the gearbox and tine load not in the soil.
If you haven't used the Mantis before just be careful as they are a jack rabbit at full speed until the soil is worked up. Definitely not an one hand operation.
Also if you can remove the tines, clean and lube with anti-seize compound as these get stuck if not remove every so often. I use Aluminum based anti-seize ( the silver looking stuff) as Copper based is deadly to invertebrates in the soil which you do want the beneficial worms around for good soil.
The truest measure of society is the how it treats its elderly, its pets, and its prisoners.
