Honda GCV160 - Gasket Sequence

[@michaelmoe8690]

My Honda mower with GCV 160 engine was surging like crazy. I thought carburetor. Cleaned it twice but the engine kept on surging. I bought a new carb, installed it, and still didn’t solve the surging problem. I got lucky and found your video . As I was watching it, I realized that the last 2 gaskets that connect to the intake were placed wrong. I followed the gasket sequence that you showed and problem solved. You are the master of the trade. Thank you for an outstanding video. God Bless.

[@jackwebb5917]

I’ve had my Troy Bilt with a GV160 engine for 14 years. As many times as I’ve rebuilt the carburetor, I still come back to your video for the gasket sequence. You explained it SO well in a clear and concise manner!

[@EliminatorPerformance]

@@jackwebb5917 I'll be honest, I come back to it too every now and then lol thanks for watching!

[@michaellatham1971]

How can I get a carb for the gcv 160 and 190. I’m striking out with Amazon. Help!

[@richardallen468]

I have watched about half a dozen videos about the gasket locations on the GCV160, all of them others don’t hold a candle to this one, so concise, no Flim-Flam, just a video showing which is located in which location and how to identify each different one. FABULOUS

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for watching!

[@WildRapier]

@@EliminatorPerformance Thanks for posting! Just yanked one apart and I knew things were off when I saw no gasket between the spacer and the carb body... the float needle was not hooked into the float as well...uhhgh!

[@euphorik1979]

Adding to everyone else here. Popped the air cleaner housing off and found gaskets everywhere. After trying to puzzle together the order by looking at dirt signatures and turned to KZbin and found this gem. Thanks for putting this together!

Thanks for watching!

[@joseaguinaga835]

heck yeah!!!

[@davidleslie1248]

fucked around with carb for about 2 hours couldn't get it to run properly then I come across this video and followed your instructions and now running sweetas.thanks

[@staceystarling15]

Man perfect. This is actual help. Not another video out there like it. Completely overlooked but def necissary. If your engine is surging,or only starting with choke like mine (AKA vacuum leak) caused by something so simple as correct gasket sequence, this video is where it's at. Thanks a ton man!!!

[@EliminatorPerformance]

No problem, glad I could help. Thanks for watching!

[@staceystarling15]

Well my gaskets r pretty cruddy so think I'll need some gasket maker paper or tube. Sure it should have same function. Stop escaping or incoming unwanted air. Yea mine def aren't air tight worthy

[@johnnyrocket6588]

I had the same problem, I originally took it apart to replace and gaskets and months went by and I finally had time to put it back together and I had reversed the black plastic spacer. Engine was surging, and I looked up this video. Flipped the plastic spacer around and now it runs beautifully.

[@FuzzStockDad]

Man I've spent all day trying to figure out the order of these things after taking my carb off to replace the plastic insulator piece. After looking literally everywhere online and trying different orders and the mower not running correctly, I called a timeout for the day. Now I'm drinking a beer and after a strange Google search I saw this video. Gonna give it a whirl tomorrow! Thank you sir, you are a scholar and a gentleman

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Appreciate the kind words Brian, if I may ask, what were the original searches you typed in? I can add those words/phrases into the tags and possibly make it easier for other to find this video! I figured order/sequence was the proper term, but everyone speaks differently. Would love to know, and thanks for watching!

[@FuzzStockDad]

@@EliminatorPerformance I'm guessing based on my searches Google figured out what I was I trying do lol but the exact search was "gasket air cleaner mower" lol

[@EliminatorPerformance]

@@FuzzStockDad well I'm glad you got here eventually! Being as experienced as I am with these mowers, even I had the exact same issue. Pulled the bolts, gaskets fell, didn't have any idea how they went back together. So I figured I'd make a video and it seems to be helping out quite a few people, so I'm happy!

[@FuzzStockDad]

@@EliminatorPerformance just for the update: The sequence was right on! No gas leaks or running too rich! But when I fired it up the whole mower was shaking so bad. Fortunately just had to replace the blade and all was well. Lawn is cut, finally. Thanks man. Keeping the video saved for future reference just in case

[@EliminatorPerformance]

@@FuzzStockDad awesome, good to hear!

[@crozjaboy17]

Dude. This video has saved my sanity. I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with my mower for the longest time. Always assumed it was air in leakage but couldn't figure it out. You're video was perfect. Thanks so much for making it

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Glad I could help, thanks for watching!

[@hdken1]

Me too...Took my carb off and there were gaskets everywhere...never would have gotten it back together correctly without this video...THANKS!!

[@WBT714]

Thanks a million ! I searched everywhere and finally found your video. You explain it very well. Thank you again!

[@jgrice75]

Like everyone else on here I wanted to thank you for putting this clear and well explained video out. Was able to get it back together and running in 5 minutes after seeing how gaskets get replaced. Thanks again!

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Anytime, cheers!

[@brentellender8651]

Thanks for the info on gasket placement. I've been fighting my mower and was about to light it on fire, when I found your video. Went back and found that I had the back two gaskets and insulator in the wrong order. Rearranged them like you showed and the mower runs like a top. You saved me some serious money!

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for watching, glad it helped!

[@SnaggyfromJoT]

10/10 amazing video! Short, clear, straight, and to the point! Very informative and you cover every small detail! I just did an autochoke version and had my doubts but this helped me out! Also helped me on the free pressure washer i just got with manual choke

[@dadsworkshopbykipplabrie7982]

Dude..... the Honda gasket struggle is REAL!!!!! I had to watch your video to double check my work, thank you thank you.

[@sirrebral]

Thanks a million; this really helped me get a backup mower up and running after buying it in as-is condition for 20 bucks. The previous owner--a lawn care guy--said that it needed a new carburetor, and I assumed that it just needed to be serviced. But after cleaning the ports and jets thoroughly, it still ran rough, surging really hard, and only a little less so when choked...it was clearly running lean. It turns out that the previous owner had done two things wrong: (1) the air dam was installed backwards...blocking the hole where the ball bearing is, and (2) he was missing a gasket, probably because this particular model (GJAEA-6214884) uses a *metal* air dam, so it needs two identical gaskets (part # 16221-883-800) on each side to create a seal (as opposed to the paper air dam shown in the video, which can seal on its own without any additional gaskets). By the time I figured that I needed another gasket the parts store was closed, so I just used an Exacto knife to cut a new gasket out of thin cardboard, using the existing one as a template...runs great now.

[@hbarwickjr]

The best easiest to understand casket sequence out there. I wasn't for sure where the metal spacer went though I had quessed it correct. Had to be sure though. Thank you.

[@Cragmontster]

Helped me out today for sure, very good video, I was stumped after taking the carb off and having everything fall apart, thank you!

[@tomsteger1]

OMG...thank you! I have been staring at this thing for a week trying to figure out how to reassemble. No other videos explain what the "metal gasket" part is for or where it goes! Mine is a 2010 Homelite power washer with GCV190. It does not have the large throttle control/choke control plate...just that dang metal gasket. Thanks brother.

[@rightt12]

Thank you so much. I could not keep my honda wood splitter running since replacing the gas line. Turns out I had turned around some of the gaskets. Runs perfectly now. Very satisfying. Thanks!!

[@straightgangstamack]

This helped me tonight. I am a white belt with any engine stuff. I took the carb apart last and was not careful to remember the gasket sequence. This saved me. Thank you.

[@oatnoid]

Excellent! Definitive! I watched a ton of these videos on the gasket sequence. No jibber jabber. What I call a 'Joe Friday/Dragnet explanation: Just the facts, Jack. So easy even a cave man could follow it.

[@waynestefinashen239]

That last gasket against the engine block is the one that do it your selfers normally drop out when they assemble the carb and the engine hunts and basically you will get the repair job. Nice video that should help out a lot of your viewers.

[@williammusser7043]

Awesome video; never could really understand the proper sequence of these gaskets until now and totally different from what the exploded parts view show and never could get my mower to stop surging when I used the exploded parts view. Thanks for your help.

[@mattyd6983]

Man o man I’ve been cursing out this Japanese over engineered carburetor setup ever since I pulled the bolts to clean the the carb. So thankful I found your video as it made assembly the gaskets and carburetor a breeze!

Thanks for watching Matt!

[@BenG123]

So helpful, you should get a medal of honor!!!

[@antonbanks8303]

Thank-you for this! The assembly manuals aren't clear about where that steel gasket goes. You made getting my engine back together again a whole lot easier.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Glad I could help, Thanks for watching!

[@TomBaddley]

Thank you for making a video CLEARLY showing exactly what I needed to know. On the GCV160s with auto-choke, that square plastic piece next to the block is replaced with the automatic choke module. Fits the same in sequence, and is the same thickness, though.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Glad I could help! I wanted to make the video after I pulled a carb off of one of these a while back and all the gaskets fell out, leaving me wondering what order they went in hahaha thanks for the positive feedback!

[@denizovecoglu6759]

But auto choke plastic piece does not have groove on the carb side which is shown here. Both sides are flat with no groove.

[@scottrobinson5590]

Your video came through when I needed it, just now. Very well explained, got my Husqvarna back in business! Thanks!

[@zedicus11]

Great video - I was going to buy a new carb! I cleaned the existing one because it had a tank of bad gas. Put it back together and it would only run with the choke on. I watched your video installed gaskets in the right direction and order; now my splitter runs like a champ. THANK YOU!

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Happens to the best of us, that's why I made this video! And trust me, even I rewatch it from time to time! Cheers!

[@prmbrown]

Thank you! Can’t tell you how much I labored over getting this right even from the parts diagram.

[@christophermcgrath1869]

Great video. Like others I had accidentally put the spacer on upside down, after replacing carb and gaskets. Mower needed choke on for several minutes while warming up, and would then run erratically. After watching your video I found the problem and mower runs much smoother, with the choke working as it should. Thank you.

[@Fresh-tw7ev]

One minor problem. For those of us with the autochoke assembly on their GCV160 the plates are entirely different. Other people watching this will want to take that into account.

[@sirrebral]

I just fixed a mower with the autochoke, and found this video helpful. I wouldn't say that this model is "entirely" different; it's just one key difference: instead of a paper air dam, my autochoke model had a metal one, and because metal-on-metal doesn't seal, it requires one additional gasket twice (same part number...16221-883-800...one on each side).

[@powerofzero5370]

This is awesome. Nobody can fix my GVC160 even after a new carby and I'm convinced they all left a gasket off or got the sequence wrong as mine will run on choke till it gets warm and I'm convinced it's taking air. $7 for a new kit and this video might put me back in mower heaven. Thank you!

[@EliminatorPerformance]

It's a common issue, as I mentioned when you pull the studs the gaskets fall out and become mismatched and some people can reinstall them upside down. The holes need to line up to vent, if they don't, the engine won't run right!

[@powerofzero5370]

Thank you very much man. I bought a used mower with GCV160 and had to replace the carb as it was badly corroded. When I re-assembled it I found that it was leaking gas. Long story short turns out I did not tighten the bolts enough. On my model the air dam is actually metal which was confusing, nonetheless your video helped out a lot.

Yup, line everything up vertically on the bolts off of the engine, then put it all into place as a unit when you assemble it to the engine. So much easier than trying to hold things in line horizontally while hoping that the gaskets all stay in place before the screws are put in last from the airbox.

Your video is great. I wish you would have kept the assembly process the same like when you started. Placing the two long bolts and holding them up with a piece of tape until you have finished the assembly would leave nothing for the imagination.

I have a GCV160LA1 S3B and it has an auto choke system. I wasnt smart enough to take a picture and didnt realize the 2 bolts held everything on but I essentially have a cover, carb, choke assembly, and 2 gaskets that get bolted in all together and the diagram drawing that I found isn't exactly like my mower b/c its showing all these other gaskets that aren't on mine so I'm trying to make sense of it. I just ordered a new OEM carb b/c it was only $15 and just bought some gasket paper and glue. My first time making new gaskets. Question - I have the 2 gaskets that fell off when I took the bolts out. One of them is a heat shield gasket like on your video. Is it better to make new gaskets tracing/cutting from the old gaskets or should i trace/cut from the part that the gasket sticks to?

[@Smalltechguy]

I just ordered a brand new set and the people sent me two of the smaller gaskets instead of the larger one that goes near the front half of the carb. Looks like I will be making one today also. I've got the longer bracket. Also ordered some kind of heat wax or something of that nature I suppose...I've got no idea how that works...Do I heat it or what...lol...awesome explanation and sequence.

And just leave the stud when installing everything and then just replacing the stud bolt with one of the regular bolts. Just an idea. Thanks.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Hey anytime, thanks for watching jrs! And yes, a stud would be the way to go, but they designed it with 2 bolts, what can we do lol

[@evelynmahoney3569]

Mine has the long metal plate (often called control bracket). It also has another metal plate (heat deflector) with a gasket before and after it. In the install sequence, they go on after the spacer and before the carb. In the video, the plate & it's 2 gaskets have been combined into 1 piece. I believe it comes that way on models newer than my 2004.

[@Kilty007]

see 20:35 of this video - make sure the metal tab is all the way back when you install the carb so your choke runs properly. You want the black choke pin in front of the metal tab. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKnYhq2Vn6mKZrs

[@sonnyc3826]

i do that also line up the hole or ballbearing it makes sense but those "air gaskets " as he calls them can sometimes be backwards having that extra piece on the top on the other side..in a video i jsut watched form him it was like that..but i figured as long as theyre lined up thats how it goes..my choke goes too fast and then the mower stalls so im going to have to adjust that i guess.. its nice sometimes if i have a mower for a bit that i find these problems that werent there when i fixed the mower..when i did maintence on it-it started right away and i wouldve sold it then the custimer wouldve had this problem , and me not really knowing this was an issue in the first place becasue it started first pull when i fixed it they probably wouldve thought id ripped htem off or soemthing..so i like to keep them for a bit to see if any of thes eproblems or issues arise after maintence

My mower has a metal that is shaped just like the air damn. Is this my gasket or do I need the one that comes with the kit ?

[@EliminatorPerformance]

You can use that it's basically a gasket/air dam together, they usually have a hole

[@drumsofviolence]

@EliminatorPerformance great, but do I need to cut a gasket for each side of the metal or would it just be easier to use the big gasket instead of the metal ? This mower was bought by me new in 2002 and this is the first repair Ive need to make. These Honda engines seem to be bomb proof. Trying to get another 25 years out of it. New rope, flushed gas tank, new blade, oil change. The carb was dripping gas below the air cleaner assembly. Im hoping this new carb is the fix

[@EliminatorPerformance]

@@drumsofviolence I think you should be ok, but if it surges (revs up and down) then you'll absolutely need gaskets on either side. I can't tell you how many have come in and just needed the gasket redone and they run fine

Great job on cutting that gasket out Mon Ami............... Some model Honda's are a pain to get everything back on because you have to hook up the linkages to the carb first or I should say hook the carb to the linkages first......... If Honda didn't have the Zee bend on the linkage and use a turn clip or a E clip to hold the linkage it would be a lot easier to install everything first then just put the linkage on the carb.... I think you and me could teach them a trick or 2 ......... What you think ???? When I worked at PHI helicopters they would pay techs good money or anyone that was an employee money for a better idea that would help the company out.........

OK, I am getting a lot of info from your channel today, but am confused about this video. In picture of gaskets in video you show 5 gaskets (including the plastic heat shield next to engine), and 2 of the gaskets are the same, however in the video you do not show these 2 gaskets being utilized. I thought that those 2 gaskets were to be used on each side of the air dam but in video you indicate the air dam is mounted without gaskets on either side. Is this correct? Also, in the picture of gaskets you only show 1 of the gaskets that goes on the air box, but in video you use 2 of them. I am putting one of these back together with new gaskets sets I got and just wanted to make sure I have everything correct. I think that I need gaskets on both sides of the air dam but just wanted to be clear on that. Thanks.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Some have gaskets on either side of the air damn and some don't. If you have the gaskets use them, if not, the air damn acts as a gasket. Basically I just used whatever gaskets came on that engine. This video just generally shows you the order in which they should go.

Anyone have a good link to this exact set of gaskets? None of the sets I see have two of the last gaskets that go on either side of the metal gasket piece.

would this be the same sequence for a pressure washer with the same gcv carb another video shows the air dam being placed first .

Well it depends where that plate it, on this model they use that steel gasket to mimic the plate being there. But I would assume it's all the same, I went based off of the diagram from Honda, but many people might not see that diagram. So I figured I'd make a video, hope it helps! This machine ran great afterwards.
