I applaud your channel. I worked for the DOD fo 37 years. If they needed a new jet, did the DOD scrap it? No. They fixed or upgraded it. If they needed a new chopper, did they scrap the old one? No. They fixed it. It’s only the suppliers of parts that make repairing machines beyond economic repair.

You're absolutely correct Musto: the idle circuit augments all positions of the carburetor and engine speeds. It is crucial for the entire rpm operation range. Setting the base timing, valve clearance and idle-speed/mixture and a fresh air filter?....everything else follows (two stroke, four stroke, v-8 or moped). Yeah, you can get it close (by ear), but if you want it to be EXACTLY the way that it designed: you gotta have a $15 tachometer. If the engine doesn't want to IDLE (or give snappy throttle response) that indicates that something else is WRONG! ...or yir engine is getting old/worn. At that point , we accept its age and gitter going...EXACTLY THE WAY THAT YOU DELINEATED IN YOUR VIDEOS! I don't have massive yards, or a professional landscaping business: which require cordless, gas powered tools, that can run for hours without stopping. So I'm shifting to all battery powered equipment. Hey, they were punks at first, but they ROCK now.

ShartingFish go to ereplacement parts. Look up your engine model via the number embossed on the side of the engine. You may have to remove the shroud. Find your part number, then shop online, or at a Honda repair shop near you. Generally, not expensive. The local Honda motorcycle shop can order mine, but it may take a week. Then watch some videos non how it’s done.

The actions of our Commander-in-Chief Vladimir Putin depend on a written response from the United States. If Russia's demands to strengthen our national security are not met, then the option of launching a preventive missile attack on the US Nevada test site is possible. Действовия нашего Главнокомандующего В.В.Путина, зависят от письменного ответа США. Если не будут выполнены требования России по укреплению нашей национальной безопасности, тогда возможен вариант нанесения привентивного ракетного удара по полигону Невада США.

I have a similar problem with a lawnmower I recently picked, but it occasionally misses, though it cuts grass fine and runs well and being a self propelled mower, I think I am going to do the same thing and sell it with cautions. Good deal for a Honda and the new owner may be willing to spend the money for a new carburetor. Some great deals, especially with the rototiller.

I know this is an old video but i wish i had seen it two weeks ago. I have a GCV160 that i cleaned the carb on a dozen times if not more and it would not stop doing that surge. Drove me nuts! $10.00 and two weeks later a new genuine honda carb from ebay solved it. Other people must have this problem, cost effective repair for long time owner but resale prob not. So if your a person out there with a honda and it does this, try cleaning it once and if it still does it. Just get a new carburettor. Save your sanity!

I bought a Honda mower a couple of years ago. Firs, it takes a few pulls to start, especially if you stop to empty the bag. Second, I HATE variable speed mowers - I prefer a mower you can just select the speed on like mowers of old. Honda wheels are way too small. So last week I pulled my old Snapper with a Briggs engine out of the shed, put away with an empty tank two years ago. IT STARTED ON THE FIRST PULL. I was blown away and it is much easier to walk behind and doesn't leave a path like a drunk was behind it.

These Honda lawn mowers have a sort of capsule that is filled with wax and controls the choke. It can be finicky at times. If you read the owner's manual it even states that the engine may be hard to start when it is warm, yet has been sitting for awhile. Toro's auto choke system seems funky as well but it relies on both the engine fan and a thermal spring, so they work together regardless of engine temp. I found a Honda in the trash last year, cleaned the carb and everything seemed to be fine. It seemed to have a really heavy crank though, starting was different (IE, heavier) in comparison to other mowers, or so I felt.

I had a honda mower given to me, all the cables are frozen, my only recourse is to buy some universal type that you cut to length and then make your own retainers. I hit goodwill twice a week and love yard sales. I buy up tons of small engine stuff and to be honest, most people give me stuff all the time. In the middle of the winter, my neighbor gave me another weed eater.

I had a Honda walk behind that I bought brand new in year 2000. It ran perfect for 18 years then the deck rusted through. I had patched it a couple times over the years, and I’m pretty careful with my stuff as far a maintenance and cleaning. But I gave it to my sister in law to take to her country summer cottage. Still runs and mows that little patch of grass. I mow about two acres so I need a decent mower.

My dad rebuilt his Troy-Bilt Horse. He gave me numbers and I was trying to find parts and just couldn't. I did a lot of digging around the internet and found out they had names and by the looks of my dad's tiller it was a Horse. It is from the 70's. Bought gears and bearings and seals and tills like new.

I had the same problem I mixed fuel cleaner with fuel run it for 10 minutes and the surging was completely gone after that, maybe I got lucky, but when I got it from my grandparents it was only running with full choke on, cleaned it with carb cleaner it fixed the choke problem but had the same surging on idle as in the video, they always left the fuel in it trough the winter.

Ive had the surging problem with small engines with the carbs that have no adjustment. When they are new they work fine but once the engine has some wear thats when the problem starts. These engines are set to EPA regs ( In Canada) and the way to fix it ( with the carb cleaned ) is to take a drill bit that fits in the jet holes ( main and the idle) and make it a couple thousands bigger to allow more fuel and that usually works.

Check for wear in the carburetor throttle butterfly shaft. I have fixed many small engines that hunted by changing the carburetor throttle butterfly shaft with one that had less wear. I've even made them on my lathe.

I’ve had and sold quite a few of them. They are hard to get rid of that surge. I did read that the thermowax choke actuator might be the cause, or the idle jet like you said.

Not saying you didn't get it later but bending a needle tip right at the end to stick down the jet throat to push through the idle jet hole or ptting a screw in end of the main jet hole and blowing air in the other end to blow out the clog in the idle jet port! Just a thought!

A tip on those Honda's Mustie1, get a tip cleaner set for torches (WYPO makes my favorite sets) and the 2nd finest one on the set fits those idle circuit orifices perfectly, then blow it out and they are returned to like new, they also work on everything else, and there is a size for everything on most carbs-super handy. But also with those Honda carbs I've had good luck with soaking them down with Gunk Heavy Duty Degreaser, and letting them set for a few hrs., then running them for awhile.
