Replacing the carb on a HONDA GC160

[@tcgatg]

Just followed this video and had no problem whatsoever replacing the carburetor. Many thanks for posting this.

Glad it could help yah out!

Glad it worked out but that carb is for the vertical shaft motors not the horizontal. That's why the bowl drain was different. Also the pre-filter likely isn't needed since it's not a lawn mower. During reassembly, you installed the choke lever upside-down and the throttle rod goes through the center of the throttle spring. Last but most important, #1 rule of pressure washer is you don't leave the pressure washer running when you're not using it. You'll overheat the pump if you leave it running without spraying water for 1-2 minutes.

Thanks for the tips! Carb is still running strong to this day!

My honda pw is 18 yrs old just bought 3 of those carbs and fuel pump had to remove spring around black plastic lever it was hindering the choke used it today runs like new

Thanks. I’ve had my pressure washer that is exactly like the one he’s repairing since brand new. I think I bought it in 1995.

$20-30 and time. Well worth it. Great job. 👍

[@EverythingElliott]

Hopefully it helped! Thanks for watching!

4th gasket is for engines that have a throttle linkage such as a push mower.

[@EverythingElliott]

good to know! Thanks for watching!

I have the same pressure washer. I bought it at Costco back around 1995. I overhauled my carburetor with parts from one I bought on Amazon rather than replace the original all together. I was afraid the after market part was not as good as the original . I’m on my 3 rd pump.

[@EverythingElliott]

Sounds like the pump is the weak link in this unit!

14:48..."alright, now that the entire thing is soaked in gasoline".. crack me up!

[@EverythingElliott]

Thanks for watching!

[@mikesblkmstngblltt]

Almost 30 y/o so it doesn’t owe me anything. Sounds like yours has done well by you since you got it at auction for $10-$20. I can’t remember how much mine was new.

[@EverythingElliott]

Yeah mine treated me well, I’ve since passed it along to a friend for free as I got a new hot water pressure washer

[@markkrieger2629]

Hey I’m watching you because I’m having the same problem so I hope you figure it out

[@EverythingElliott]

The new carb fixed the issue

You'll find out about the gaskets on that gc160

[@EverythingElliott]

That ole girl is long gone. Sent her down the road a while ago

[@jeremybarker8331]

Would have showed the gasket to the engine

[@mikegalvin4655]

Hi what is your rpm under load

[@EverythingElliott]

I’m not sure, sorry

[@drunkingsailor2359]

Should be minimum of 3600

[@innkeepers2561]

Not enough Michelle

[@EverythingElliott]

I’ll be sure to let her know you requested her presence in future videos
