I had the same mixer with the same problem. Thanks to this video I now once again have a working mixer that I would have otherwise scrapped! Thank you👍👍👍

A very interesting video. Because I had a couple of Honda's in my collection. The GX240 is sold, (very very dirty carburetter), and the G400 is demolished. It's very easy to work on these engines in opposition with Villiers engines because of size bolts and nuts etc.
I suspect the Villiers has Whitworth sizes much like the PAZ1 (I have one of those as well, as I note, do you). I now have metric, AF and Whitworth sets.
Good. I have subscribed to your channel :) Mine will have a new big end bearing, piston and re-bored cylinder. You can see it running on my channel before the rebuild.
Great video. I've got same Belle Mini Mix 150 but it has a Robin EY08 engine. It starts and runs fine. However, when mixer is left off in its resting position, there is fuel coming out of the air filter unit. I've taken the filter off and can see petrol coming out through the air filter opening on the carburetor. it's as if the carburetor chamber is over flowing out into the air filter. Any fixes please?
I expect that the needle valve in the float chamber is stuck down. You need to remove the carburettor to clean it, paying careful attention to the needle valve and float to make sure they work. Many thanks for watching, please like, share and if you like the channel, subscribe!
On My Honda gx100 engine I’ve noticed that behind the air filter sponge that the breather pipe seems to be squirting an excessive amount of oil I have recently changed the oil could it be that I’ve over filled it
It is a breather and if it is pushing out oil, over filling is a possibility. Also a possibility is engine over heating if the fins or airways are blocked up. Don't forget to like the video, share and if you like the channel (lots of engines and things...) subscribe! :)
It would depend on what the engine is. Also, it isn't likely it's the coil. If the engine is old enough to have points it may be that. Again, what is the engine on your mixer?
when I start my mixer, it runs perfectly for about a minute and after begins to stutter until it shuts off. what do you think is the problem. NB mixer has been sitting for about 8 years. what do you think is the problem?
You don't. There a pain to change on a small engine, you just clean them if you have them. Are you sure it's a HX50? I couldn't find that in Honda's list of engines. Also, it may be more modern than their points based engines. (Say 1990 and newer are likely to have non points based ignition).
Engine oil comes out of it immediately on starting so I don’t believe it’s due to over heating so you say could be fins or airways what are these as I’ve just bought it
Check your oil level then. It is an air cooled engine. There are fins on it and the flywheel where the pull start is, is also a fan. It blows are over the engine fins to keep it cool.
The oil sump leaking (if it is) will not make the engine burn oil. It could be the valve stem seals. What sort of engine has your mixer got? Also, does the spark plug get covered in oil?
Easy start. Just allows you to test the engine assuming everything works but the carburettor which is usually the case. Going to a scrapyard tomorrow to do something similar to a mower. Many thanks for watching, please like, share and if you like the channel subscribe!
You're burning oil. As well as rings etc, have you checked the oil level? If it has been overfilled and only burns oil when it's warmed up it could be over filled. Where abouts are you?
thanks for posting this. I got a 2014 belle 150 with honda engine. I used it to mix founds for a conservatory a few months ago, it ran all day. Lately it's been a total bugger to run. I got new air filter, new plug, put new oil in it, filled according to the manual destructions. It will start and run for 20 secs or less and cut out with a puff of smoke and lo and behold the plug is either wet or black !. No matter what I do with the choke the plug is sooting up in the few seconds that it runs. Melting my head. Can you give me any ideas ?
gosh, thats good of you to respond so quickly. I'm fishing around in my workshop to see if I have something to try cleaning the jet as you have done. Other than that the carb itself looks in mint condition. If I can't find anything, ( possibly a little stiff fishing line ) I'll see if I can buy online what you used and report back. Thanks again.
It's most likely to not be the jet but the needle valve failing to close. The float is normally held in by a pin, which if you pull it out allows you to remove the float, then take the needle out and clean the valve seat. Be careful as the bits are small. Don't loose them.
Yep I got a perfect piece of fishing tackle and the jet seems clear, I got no resistance or gunge at all so I'll try the needle valve, missus has the tatties on the table so will go at that leater.
Any help would be greatly appreciated... it's a belle with a Honda engine, it got knocked backwards in the garden....the engine was flooded with oil... took it to pieces, cleaned it all down, replaced spark plug and filter...have checked carb... I just don't understand why it's not staying on?!?!?
Does it start every time but always dies immediately? If so, it sounds like a carburettor issue. Start by turning the fuel off, take off the float bowl and turn the fuel on (catch the fuel in something for disposal). If you get a flow of fuel that isn't a tiny trickle, you'll have to strip and clean the carburettor. There's lots of little jets that may have got blocked. Video the strip to refer to when rebuilding. If you don't get much flow, then check the filter and fuel tap.
What make of engine? Points are (or at least used to be) what caused the coil to spark, basically a set of contacts that gets broken by a cam on the crankshaft (or the camshaft) in a small engine or part of a distributor in a multi cylinder engine. Not used with electronic ignition.
What I do to check the ignition is to put a Philips screwdriver in the plug cap and hold it whilst turning over the engine. This should give you an electric shock. I do that as seeing a spark in a small engine is a pain. I also have a spark detector which flashes a neon light.
Thanks for your help. I've just borrowed a friend's and it wouldn't start did everything you said and bingo fired up. When I ran out of fuel he thought it was 2 stroke so I added that then hasnt worked all day. I've stripped it back down and emptied all the fuel today and put juts standard unleaded in and its working again. Thanks again
Took the carb off and washed in sonic bath just in case any oil residue in any of the little bits, put it all back together, it now runs for about 3 to 4 seconds before cutting out....it's driving me insane and seems a mystery?!

The PAZ1 is running very well, inclusive a Manus vacuumpump. I want to make a new video as soon as possible.

Thanks I’ll try that over the weekend

Great video, thank you. Were you at Sussex Uni?????
You are welcome. Might have been...... Why do you ask?
How do you replace the ignition coil as it has stopped producing a spark?
It would depend on what the engine is. Also, it isn't likely it's the coil. If the engine is old enough to have points it may be that. Again, what is the engine on your mixer?
when I start my mixer, it runs perfectly for about a minute and after begins to stutter until it shuts off. what do you think is the problem. NB mixer has been sitting for about 8 years. what do you think is the problem?
The carburettor needs cleaning.

It's Honda. That is interesting. Where do you get new points from?
You don't. There a pain to change on a small engine, you just clean them if you have them. Are you sure it's a HX50? I couldn't find that in Honda's list of engines. Also, it may be more modern than their points based engines. (Say 1990 and newer are likely to have non points based ignition).

The choke defo comes off once started. What do you think it is?
No idea. What engine is it?
I think it may be seal's. Can you get a new oil sump seal?
The oil sump leaking (if it is) will not make the engine burn oil. It could be the valve stem seals. What sort of engine has your mixer got? Also, does the spark plug get covered in oil?
What did you use in the cane to spray?
Easy start. Just allows you to test the engine assuming everything works but the carburettor which is usually the case. Going to a scrapyard tomorrow to do something similar to a mower.

Good video! My mixer seems to smoke a bit and sometimes won't start after a while of use. Why is this?
What does the smoke smell of?
oily, bitter smell!?
Ah. Is it grey/blue smoke? If so could be piston rings in a side valve engine or in an OHV could also be valve stem oil seals as well.
yes it is blue oil, and is a second hand, does this help?
You're burning oil. As well as rings etc, have you checked the oil level? If it has been overfilled and only burns oil when it's warmed up it could be over filled. Where abouts are you?

Thank you so much for the quick reply!! Right ok, going to have a go at that ... Will keep you posted. 😊
@@BensWorkshop p.s. no it doesn't start every single time... but when it does, it catches and dies almost immediately
If you got it started, it dies, and then came back 5 minutes later, would it start every time (IE, after a 5 minute rest)?
The spark does get blackened. What does that mean then?
If it's black, are you sure the smoke is more blue than grey? Are you running the engine with the choke on all the time? Again, what engine is it?
Also... you could give the video a like.... it really helps.
have you tried running it recently and checking the choke is off once it has warmed up a bit?
The engine is the Hx50 and what you mean by points?
What make of engine? Points are (or at least used to be) what caused the coil to spark, basically a set of contacts that gets broken by a cam on the crankshaft (or the camshaft) in a small engine or part of a distributor in a multi cylinder engine. Not used with electronic ignition.
Also, how do you know it isn't a plug fault?
I don't think so as i have put a new plug on it and tried with old and new plugs and both won't spark. is it the coil then?
What I do to check the ignition is to put a Philips screwdriver in the plug cap and hold it whilst turning over the engine. This should give you an electric shock. I do that as seeing a spark in a small engine is a pain. I also have a spark detector which flashes a neon light.
I will try that. I have purchased a new coil so might replace to see if solves it. thanks for the info. is installation easy on these? any tips?
Is this a two stroke engine?
No, it's a 4 stroke.
Thanks for your help. I've just borrowed a friend's and it wouldn't start did everything you said and bingo fired up. When I ran out of fuel he thought it was 2 stroke so I added that then hasnt worked all day. I've stripped it back down and emptied all the fuel today and put juts standard unleaded in and its working again. Thanks again
This one is a altrad bella minimix 150. With a honda g100-97 engine
No worries. Pleased it helped. Please like and share, and if you like the channel, subscribe.
Despite trying everything I could.. still CANT get it working 😭😭
If you take the bowl of the carburettor, and then turn the fuel tap on does fuel flow?
@@BensWorkshop Yes x
Took the carb off and washed in sonic bath just in case any oil residue in any of the little bits, put it all back together, it now runs for about 3 to 4 seconds before cutting out....it's driving me insane and seems a mystery?!
@@katemcnamara4042 that's more than before though? Have you checked the filter bowl for dirt etc?
Also, are you using fresh fuel?
The g100 Was one of the best engines ever made By honds Stop making them now
They are a good engine.
