A good instructional presentation video, Thankyou . I’ve been having trouble getting my Honda to get into peak revs I think it might be a dirty filter??

[@roguecloud5674]

Thanks for the assistance, I've recently been having a problem with my Honda Gx35 where it would fight to start, it would run but it sounds strained, and when I pull the trigger it would sputter out and die, I don't know if the filter was the problem but cleaning it got it to run longer much more smoothly.

[@5MinuteFixit]

That’s great! I’m glad the video was able to help you out and get your GX motor running smoothly again! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!

[@roguecloud5674]

@@5MinuteFixit yes sir, thanks for making the video! Also would you happen to have anything on what to check when the weedwacker turns off when the moment I apply pressure to the trigger? It speeds up, then sputters out.

[@cannaroe1213]

With the GX35, it can be a fuel problem, where basically the filter on the fuel intake pipe (inside the tank) gets clogged, and produces exactly what you described. Sometimes the pipe also falls off and into the tank... Also the two nuts that bolt the intake manifold to the engine also put pressure on a gasket that wears out and stops sealing if you loosen those nuts even once. Other than that, the GX35 is rock solid 4-stroke.

Thank you so much, precisely explained 👏 ❤️

Thanks for watching, I’m glad it was helpful!

[@scottgun]

Thanks! Easy, and in working order. I did a double take when I saw the instruction to dip the filter in oil, but it's right there in the manual. What am I going to do? Argue with Honda?

[@5MinuteFixit]

Thank you for watching! I'm glad it was helpful!

[@mwbg]

I thought that was an egg on your plate 😂😂

[@5MinuteFixit]

It tasted very oily! Thank you for watching!

[@qba269]

Thank You! Very useful video!

[@5MinuteFixit]

Thank you for watching! Glad you found it helpful!

[@tejan23]

can ask you if you change oil it how many working hours before you replace the engine oil

[@5MinuteFixit]

Thank you for watching! The manual states engine oil should be changed every 6 months or 50 hours of usage. I have an oil change video if you are interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3PSioSFjK1lraM

I use my Honda GX35 on an ice auger in the winter. Would you advise storing over the summer months with the fuel tank and carb empty or fuel or with fuel and stabalizer?

[@5MinuteFixit]

I usually put fuel stabilizer in my fuel cans so when I fill up there is some in the system, then at the end of season I will run the gas out. Thanks for watching! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already. Thank you!

燃料とエンジンオイルは自動車と同じなので、シーズンオフに自動車で使い切れますね

[@MrKbx24]

why the filter needs oil?..for effective filtration? does it affects the carburator?

[@5MinuteFixit]

MrKbx24 it needs the oil for effective filtration...it doesn’t affect the carburetor as long as you squeeze off the excess. Thank you for watching!

[@MrKbx24]

5 Minute Fix it now im enlighten with your basic tutorial videos..i already bought gx 35 im waiting to arrive next week..hoping for your future videos..kudos!

[@5MinuteFixit]

MrKbx24 did you have anything in particular you were looking for in a video. I’m up for suggestions. Also please consider giving the video a thumbs up! Thanks again!

スポンジは湿気で加水分解しますね

[@anandpanchbhavi]

Why do you need to soak the filter in motor oil?

[@5MinuteFixit]

That’s is what Honda recommends and it helps catch and hold any small dust particles from entering the engine/combustion chamber.

[@roddydaza9117]

No machine whatsoever requires the sponge filter to be soak in engine oil then wringed out this sponge should be washed with mild soapy water then rinse out and air dry then place back on the filter housing of your trimmer, chainsaw, or any machine that has a small engine.

[@5MinuteFixit]

It’s crazy that you’ve never heard of this. It is very common.

[@roddydaza9117]

This is the most ridiculous video I've seen those sponge filter should be clean and once the engine suction air that mixes with fuel whatever debris are stopped by sponge filter also any dust or soil particles this in the long run will cause the filter to get clogged as oil and dirt don't mix.

[@5MinuteFixit]

I guess Honda is wrong then (page 15): cdn.powerequipment.honda.com/pe/pdf/manuals/00X31VL3D180.pdf

[@5MinuteFixit]

You also proved why you should put oil on the filter by saying the filter will clog with dirt which is exactly why you have a filter to keep the dirt and debris out of the engine.

[@lornemarysh9351]

Go to $ store and buy one and cut to fit.

[@graemer66]

Been doing the same thing for many years. Was courious so download the manual and sure enough you are correct, so we both have been doing the right thing. Graeme in OZ

[@stormtrooper5558]

great video mate. I was looking at this question about oiling the airfilter, as I have the ums425u honda, and its manual looks very old and did not state anything about oiling the filter which is quite prevalent in most honda air filter replacements on youtube., So I read your BC manual, and will apply a little oil to it instead of leaving it dry.@@5MinuteFixit
