Honda GCV 160 carburetor removal and install

[@jamesriley6106]

Thank you! I followed your instructions to the letter. Happiness is hearing the mower purr after completing the carb replacement!

[@35andRetired]

Great to hear!

Nice job. Clear narration and video. Laughed when you said "with carb off..." Here I am. Actually, reverse engineering worked well up to the air dam/heat deflector. Lost all sense of direction and had dinner. Found you this morning. Thx.

[@35andRetired]

Ha! I have been there too. Sometimes you just have to walk away...

Perfect video. Easy to follow and to the point. I replaced my carb and it’s running great now.

🎉🎉🎉

Very well done video. One of the best I have seen on this topic. I like to use two cutoff (heads) studs to help line up the carb parts during installation.

[@35andRetired]

Good idea!

[@circusfactory]

Very nice. You explain it so calmly. Cool. Thanks

[@35andRetired]

Glad I could help!

What about the gasket between the auto choke control mechanism and the intake manifold?

[@35andRetired]

Technically it isn’t a manifold 🤓 I should have removed it to show but you’ll notice my gasket just stayed on the intake port and didn’t fall off. Good catch! Thanks for that.

[@justinpruitt4833]

@@35andRetired That's the gasket on mine that needs to be replaced. So, kinda threw me off cause I wasn't sure if yours came off or not. I ordered replacements. Looks like the most difficult part is reassembling it all. Thanks for the video!

My Honda engine Troy-Bilt starts but then it cuts off after a minute, any suggestions ?..it's has a good air filter, oil level and cuts off even when the gas cap is removed

[@35andRetired]

What is the situation with the choke? Does it have one that is manually operated or is it an automatic choke? That is one thing to investigate...if it runs only with choke and when heated up and the choke turns off the engine stalls. Or...if the choke is staying on and then choking the engine once warm...otherwise, it would "likely" be related to fuel supply...where the fuel tank/line can fill up the bowl of the carb with fuel but cannot keep up with sustained flow once the fuel is being consumed. A plugged or kinked line could be a cause...

[@irish89055]

@35andRetired thanks for the reply.. it doesn't have the adjustable choke and I got a kit with a new carburetor.. maybe I'll just put on the new fuel line first and try to clean the filter, but I guess I have to empty the tank of fuel
