Well : I followed your advice. Got the same part number. Put new carburetor with gaskets I used little tip of regular grease to hold the gaskets on the choke. Replace the spark plug And air filter. Start right up . Sounds and feels with more power on it . Blessing and greetings Señor from North Texas. Psalm 23 . Muchas gracias 🙏 21 bucks for the kit .

Glad you got her going. Great verse had to google Psalms 23. FYI my wife is from Amarillo and she hates that song lol.

As you take a bolt out replace it with a headless bolt to keep everything in place (from another vid).

[@MowerMike]

Headless bolt???? Doesn’t sound like much of a bolt

[@entrthedragon]

@@MowerMike it’s just temporary to hold stuff in place then when you replace, you put your regular bolts back on. Some people use 3/16” wood dowels to keep stuff in place too. Just work arounds to make it less of a PITA.

[@ingramcl]

most use 6M 100MM rods with or w/o thread help hold things in place until your ready to install. At least that's what I found on another video & I will attempt 2 change my own carburetor 2moro. Thnx 4 your video too bcuz they all help. 😁

[@entrthedragon]

@@ingramcl For sure, whatever works to keep it all in place. Good luck!

[@cgilleybsw]

that's a brilliant hack!

[@cgilleybsw]

You know, there are some things I just don't expect from Honda - a carburetor that falls apart is one of them. That said, a touch of gasket goop or grease would do the same as super glue. The only other thing I have seen worse from Honda is on some of their older Civics. The oil filter is between the firewall and the back of the engine and directly over the exhaust manifold. So, off to find some gasket goop.

[@MowerMike]

Gasket goop? Be careful gas eats most goops. Needs to be a carb specific gasket. Never worked on a Honda car am a Chevy or MiniCooper type of guy

[@albondigas9549]

the gasket is so you can hold on to it during assy. 😮

[@Harry67544]

My seems to rev way too high. Any tips?

[@MowerMike]

It probably has an air leak. Try spraying carb cleaner around the intake and see if it changes. When it is reving too high it is sucking in air from somewhere. May just need to tighten down the carb bolts. Good luck

[@Harry67544]

@@MowerMike Thanks man! I found out it was my general allowing too much throttle. Gave me a little scare!

[@obiemains1367]

a7 6;49, that gasket is on backwards. small hole goes on other side

[@MowerMike]

Good eye, backwards or not it worked great

Hey smoke another one and do the inside tomorrow

1. Chuck Norris was not in bloodsport. 2. Blood sport took place in Hong Kong 3. Ramen noodles originated from China

[@MowerMike]

True but Chuck Norris is part Japanese and loves the Ramen. ???!!

[@workingwithadam]

I don't buy that it started on the first pull.

[@MowerMike]

Good eye. Yep this was the second starting shoot. The first shoot took about 3 pulls to get the fuel in the new carb.

[@workingwithadam]

Great video as always!

[@MowerMike]

@@workingwithadam Thanks!
