This video was the only one that showed me exactly how it all went back together. It’s really hard to keep track when the whole thing falls to pieces when you take the two bolts off! Thank you!!

Dude, for real. I took mine apart to clean, and didn't realize the entire thing was held together with the two bolts on the outside of the airbox. Everything collapsed and I had no idea what the hell I was looking at. Video was very helpful.

No problem man! I’ve taken the apart many times and I still struggle to put it back together. It would’ve been better if the bolts were studded with nuts on the end or have less gaskets. If I have to take it off again I may just throw some studs on.

I really appreciate KZbinrs providing good quality how to information for fixings things at home that break. This is another fine example. Saves me a lot of money.

My mower is seven years old and wouldn’t run it all to help mulch leaves this fall. Followed this video and now it runs like it’s new. Thanks again!

Had the same issue. The long double side hooked spring that goes around the choke rod broke. Replaced it and forgot how it all went back together. This helped a lot. Now the damn thing starts rough and I have to finger the throttle/choke arm once it fires to get in the proper rpm’s. Hell if I get another four years from it after nearly a decade I’ll be happy with that.

I’ve taken mine apart and cleaned the stem flute valves so many times. They get clogged up from all the dirt and dust. The filter helps but you still have to clean it periodically. I should use ethanol free gas but I don’t. The springs really need to be tensioned right or it will run too high or slow. The Honda engine is solid as a rock. Just the carburetors causes most of the issues. It’s either this or pay someone to mow my yard. I like mowing my yard though so there you go. Good video.

Thanks for posting this step by step process of cleaning out the carburetor. I used some Marvel Mystery Oil Spray kicking around that I used along with compressed air to clean everything up. I did use some welding tip cleaners to make sure all the holes were clear as well. Showing which way the tube goes in before the jet was VERY helpful along with the notes on the correct spring and linkage hole locations. The mower wouldn't start before, and now runs fine. I did also clean the float needle and seat.

Fantastic! This Honda GCV 160 I bought used and had been sitting for a while. Ran out of gas and of course, it ran rough afterwards. Happened upon your repair video - Very well done! and many thanks!

Thanks great information, removed carb and cleaned to try and solve hunting issue. No luck. Removed carb again and found auto choke pin gummed up. Removed pin, cleaned and gave it a drop of oil. Motor running fine again. Tip to know if it’s a sticking auto choke: motor will start and run normally for about minute or so until it warms up a bit. Then starts hunting as the auto choke does not deactivate due to the sticky pin. This is on a HONDA GCV160.

Amazing Video Bro!!! Did exactly what you recommended and after a few pulls it cranked right up. Running amazing. Same engine as on my Ryobi GCV160 pressure washer. Now able to pressure wash the house. Btw- my pressure washer sat to long abd carburetor was all gunked up.

You need to re-shoot this video. The camera angels are way off so most the time the viewer is looking at your arm or the part is cut out of the frame. Your explanations of what to do are clear and well done. You will get more views if it is easier for viewers to see the connections and parts clearly. I have worked on this carburetor and it is hard confusing so I appreciate your effort

STILL SURGING??? What he failed to show is on top of the carb is Philips head screw. Under that screw is the IDLE JET. it is a fixed jet, meaning it cannot be removed. That jet gets clogged & will cause no idle or surging idle. The bad news is is that the hole in the jet is so microscopic small that it virtually impossible to push a wire through it. Soaking the carb or using a Ultrasonic machine is the best bet. I just usually buy a reman carb (Chinese clone) from eBay or Amazon ($15) & that solves the problem. 99.9% of the time is that the idle jet is clogged!

You didn't clean the emulsion tube holes with a pin or any needle type tool to make sure all the small holes are clear same in the main jet.

@Bataha Жыл бұрын

Good point. I shot air down the middle of the tube. Mine didn't have anything in the side holes so I forget to mention to visually check them and spray those out if theres stuff in there.

Did exactly as you, failed to fix ! I just replaced carb, wax choke, last Apr and fixed it. But started surging < a yr of use. I’ll never buy a Honda powered mower again. I rebuilt carb on a Koehler motor and was forever fixed. Least Honda parts cheap online !! But makes no sense !

Make sure the gaskets are in order and sealing. Next check the throttle linkages and springs, make sure they are in the right holes. From there check the idle screw.

Mines completely new i’ve had for 2 yrs locked up in my storage, and i just tooked it out recently to cut the grass from my new house i got and im having trouble to get it going it had new gas and it seems the carborator doesn’t suck any gas, my dad was adding alcohol through the carburador and it would turn on and it would turn back off immediately. Any tips would be appreciated
