GX160 Carburetor Service

This video demonstrates the proper procedures for servicing the Honda GX series carburetor. It was made using the GX160 engine but the carburetors on other GX's are similar. The video was made to educate the students in my class on repairing these carburetors.

When I saw the first video with that awful music, I thought not for me! Then I saw the link to the 'no music' version. Brilliant, absolutely detailed with great close ups too. I followed your instructions and repaired my engine. It's now working beautifully again. Thanks very much.

The music sounded good at the time. 😂
Thank you for the kind words.

100 percent agree, even videos with good music or light instrumental classical music distract my brain from when I am trying to focus on the details, language, and information to excucte the work, etc.

Thank you for taking the time to put this on TH-cam. I've got a GX390 that has needed the choke partly closed to keep it running.
After doing what you suggested, it is now running beautifully.

[@bruth3659]

Great video, the checking passages with where the spray comes out... great info.
BTW, why do they put the fuel shut off on the carb and not on the tank! Silliness ifs ya asks me ;)

[@motoprof1441]

Great question that I have no answer for.

[@alsouthern7190]

Thanks for the very detailed video. Is that carb the same on a 8 hp honda?

[@zhengdaowang]

Great instructional video. I have been wondering how the holes are connected. What is the purpose of the cut-out hole that appeared at 13:07 ?

[@motoprof1441]

Another great question that I don't have an answer for.

3 half turn out!

I have a copycat cloned chinese carb on a titan pressure washer...it does not have the pilot screw...it is either missing from someone else messing with the carb or it never came on...there is a hole there for it but it doesn't look like there is any threads inside and no small hole for the pilot to get through into the carb main body

[@macknumber9]

I wonder if this is why I can't fix this surging problem....it does not stop surging no matter how efficently I clean the carb.

[@zhengdaowang]

The link for the printed version in the Description no longer works. Just saying :)

[@mymodel6]

Wanted to know how to remove the choke, guess i'm shit outta luck...

[@motoprof1441]

That's not a common part that is removed. It can be removed by simply pulling it out with needle nose pliers.

[@joesinakandid528]

"Other Honda Carburetors are Similar" - NOT! If you want to show only a 160 carb then say so.

[@motoprof1441]

Ok troll. Make a better video.

[@JohnSmith-yn8pl]

It was a very good video.
