Great vid. Learned more than I wanted to. Something I'd like to pass on: A mechanic told me about a home-made tool to speed up reassembly. Cut an M6 threaded rod to make two 4" long pieces. Then cut a slot on one end. When you pull the carb bolts out, thread the rods into the holes, one at a time and then slide the carb parts off one at a time. The rods act as guides for disassembly and you don't have to worry about the gaskets moving out of place as you reassemble the carb.
Use 2 long 6mm.studs to make carb and gaskets and spacer easier to install and replace studs with bolts,one at a time after assembly. Much easier ,I did it today. Love you videos
I've been working on a mower for a neighbor with the same issue. Your video hit the spot! Just perfect! I had to laugh at the number of times that your parts "threw themselves to the floor!" Thanks for the help!
Made the same mistake myself when replacing carb and gaskets on my Husq. 7021P with GCV 160. Had to keep turning choke back on until mower warmed up, but even then it still ran erratically. Saw symptom in your video and checked this, and sure enough, was upside down. Runs perfectly now! Thanks for the video!
I recently had a mower given to me that has this exact same problem. I was just about to use that screw trick to fix it too! lol. Happy I found your video. The carb is in great shape, but the dang thing wont stay running once the chock opens. Will double check the gaskets now that I watched what you did. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. I'm more familiar repairing computers than small engines. Your video was helpful
Brilliant. Precisely what I needed to see. As I have one exactly the same, that I had just put back together while crossing my fingers that I hadn't put something in wrong. And then you showed me the position of the choke lever pushing the other lever which on my one I had done it wrong. So rather than me kicking the whole thing in anger and throwing it away, it now works. Wonderful, thanks
Thanks for the detailed explanation. Your video helped me resolve a hard start issue with a used mower that I bought 2 years ago. It was difficult to cold start but would start relatively easily with starting fluid. I had pretty much given up on it. Turns out, the choke lever was in the wrong position. Once I corrected that issue, it now starts on the first pull!
Thanks for showing how to it all the gaskets on for one with auto choke I have one to do and all the videos I saw didn't have the auto choke it helps alot
As many below have said, I too think your explanations and video of reassembly details are superior. My issue, is a Honda GVC 160 wouldn't start. I took off carburetor and cleaned, reassembled and it fired with choke on, (a manual by push-pull rod to rear) and would run some. When I took choke off it died. Thought I had gaskets in wrong places for proper breathing and repositioned 1 or 2 gaskets. Now it fires right up and runs for a few seconds on "Run" but then dies. It starts up repeatedly in "Run" position but will not stay running beyond maybe 45 seconds. This engine is on a power washer.
Excellent video T-Bone. You just can’t make this stuff up. A screw into the air box to make the engine run on choke? I’d walk into that shop and fire the dope myself! 🤦🏻♂️
Thank you so much my friend. It is ridiculous to know that a legit dealer would do this. We see some crazy things sometimes. I hope you have a wonderful day brother.
I found what I have been looking for answer to my questions, very understandable and clear explanation videoing . This gentleman knows what he is looking for and has solutions to fix any wrong or missing parts and the sequences where they should be. I'm very lucky and pleased/ Thank you, 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
New Subscriber To Your Channel- WOW I'm Just Shaking My Head as To What Those People Done with The Screw To Make It RUN ( Unbelievable ) I Have Worked On Small Engines For Many, Many Years & It Amazes Me What Some People Do. There Are a Ton Of Videos Like Yours Out There To Explain What To Do If You Are Unsure. Even though I Work On Mowers I Like Watching Other Mechanics Working on Small Engines . Keep Up The Good Work And Videos. WATCHING From Australia
The other shop should be ashamed with that HACK job. I can't believe a shop could screw up that many things on one mower. I really like these engines but HATE removing the carb because it is a pain in the butt to line up all of those parts with 2 hands. Wish Honda would have used studs in the block and you could slide everything on and then tighten 2 nuts to hold everything together. Another great video T-Bone!
Yes they should be ashamed. Yes studs would be much easier. I am very fast at these but trying to work around a camera umm yep makes it hard. I've done tons of these, yes and easy repair. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend.
Yeah. If it's dumb it's gunna' happen. Going to look at your gasket making video too. I will need that knowledge as parts availability becomes a bigger problem over the next year. Too....the action of the choke lever was WELL covered. That's a well done in itself. 👍
I'm working on a yardman mower that had pretty much the same Honda engine. Took carb off to clean all those little holes that were clogged up in that inside tube under the main jet the choke mechanism was working as it should. Now I put it back together and the metal arm on the choke does not come close to pushing the choke butterfly closed. It makes no contact with that black plastic piece on top of carb. Yours has a plastic extension sticking up that makes contact with the metal choke arm. Mine does not.....and I swear it never did. It's not broken off. Makes me think I have gone over the edge. Choke was working fine......now, the parts that should make contact are an inch apart. What am I missing. I do things very meticulously. . Didn't loose anything. ......but, it's as if my black plastic piece that moves the choke butterfly magically changed shape. And, as I said.... no sign of any breakage.
Liked, subbed and bookmarked for future reference! I could have done with this last year. I have three of these. Couldn't believe Honda could make them so hard to reassemble. I found the previous person had quite understandably let the outer gasket slip from one side this preventing the choke from opening fully. I cut some threaded bar to slip each piece on separately, then holding, pressing hard the whole assembly against the manifold, I replaced one bar with the bolt, tightened it down lightly, then did the same thing the other side. Mr Honda deserves some special prize for this dumb design. I wonder if they have changed it.
Editing is not possible, so having re-read that I'd like to clarify: I put --lightly screwed -- the temporary threaded rods I'd cut, into the manifold then slid each item on... Hope that's clearer.
Great video but unfortunately it didn’t fix my mower. I have the same symptoms now, but I have clean the carburetor and even pushed a wire through the pilot jet. Not sure what else to look for. Everything is assembled correctly though.
Yes sir, good idea, I have seen that done. Usually I'm standing in front of the mower and it's much easier but couldn't because of the camera. We probably do 3 or 4 Hondas a week and I am very fast on them.
Dang, I'm trying to remember also. There are a couple of them I think. You can use a tiny hammer and ping around the part and the holes, this will imprint it on to the gasket then just cut it out. Thanks for watching my friend.
First thank you for the excellent video, I subscribed/ liked. Got a question . None of the parts are in wrong but still has the identical issue. Any advice?
I fixed one of these. It’s not perfect and the owner didn’t want to put a lot of money into it as they got it on the cheap. [Found the paper gasket and put it in.] I’m still learning.
I have a troy with the same engine on the table now that only runs on choke. It doesn't have the screw but I've had a few that did and had to fix it. As far as the troy i don't know what they did wrong yet as i have gotten into it yet. Lol
Good catch on the insulator. You have to have patience with these Honda carb assemblies. Some guys I know just refuse to work on Honda mowers. They give them to me and I love them! What is your remedy for these choke levers that start moving toward the front of the engine as soon as you engage the bail? Some of them want to open the choke too soon. Thanks.
I have the same issue with the choke on my mower. It moves to the off position in a second or two. I have to hold it closed for a few min until the engine warms up. I've often thought about putting a manual choke cable/lever on it but something else always comes up to divert my attention.
I have same machine with trouble with carburetor choke valve not closing when automatic lever is pushed to choke position so that I need to put some gas in carb to start so what is happening
Was performing well needed maintenance on my dad’s 10+yr mower because it would start and just run for a couple of mins before shutting off. So I took apart the carb and cleaned, changed filter, spark plug, and oil and it now stays on, but my concern is when I pull that lever to choke and pull the rope to start…it doesn’t start, even after several tries. The lever moves back into the ‘run’ position, but if I pull it to ‘choke’ again… it’ll start after 1-2 pulls of the rope. Before, it would start right away after choking. Did I screw something up when I took the carb off to clean?
Thanks for commenting. Double check that metal choke lever is in the proper position. Those gaskets are tricky, they may look right, but maybe not. Not installed correctly they will suck air and it will not run.
First of all, thank you for the3 stickers. I have a question about flywheel keys for B&S motors. Are all flywheel keys the same according to engine makes. Another words do all flywheel keys are the same for each engine make. Please advise.
I worked on nearly every car/carb made.....tuned 'em.....made 'em work. This Honda set up is a damn mess. The carb is good but the the Mickey Mouse linkage/gasket set up is for the birds.
If it is for a customer and you do not have the part then order NEW parts. Make parts if it is your own mower not a customer. And what @malcolmnason1052 said. Those 6mm studs makes the job hell of a lot easier.
Almost like they brought it to a car dealer for repair. My experiences are just like that! Brought in for 1 problem, get it back with 4 more problems. Paper and Emer's glue will fix it! LOL
Why was it smoking at end ? * This might help you * When you are taking the two long bolts out that holds on air filter take one out then replace with long bolt with no head on it . Then same with other one . This will keep you from having to have air filter in your way when putting on gaskets and carburetor .
I have a 12 year old Honda HRX217 that runs great when the blade is engaged, but surges at idle with no blade attachment. I can’t find any information on how to increase the idle RPM. Is this possible with the Honda engines?
@@RaleysSmallEngines yes, but where is the idle jet? None of my diagrams show this part. I took the filter off, and the carb assembly, and couldn’t find anything that looked liked it needed cleaning or adjusting. Is this a problem that needs to be fixed or just live with it? Thanks for your reply.
@@PopeyeSailor-wz7ew I poured a cleaner into my gas tank and ran that through a couple of times, and for the most part, it runs pretty good at idle. I guess the jets got cleaned enough to pass enough gas for the idle to run smoothly. Thanks.
I haven't repaired it yet. Probably drill and tap and put a set screw to hold it in place. The other screw should hold the coil I hope. I will also inform the customer of what I did.
Just wonder hum much the rental place charged them to "fix the p[roblem" - that was BS. So many p[eople should NOT work on mechanical things because they don't even know enough to pay attention or even take pics during disassembly and make sure they can get it back together properly.
Just because you can buy tools it don’t make you a mechanic I’ve never seen so much stuff put together wrong and destroy, pull cover and wash it and then really look it over He was not a mechanic and never will be. Mechanic does not let it go until it runs right and does not give up and stick a screw in it
I'm about to stick a screw in my choke lever. Taken carb off and cleaned it and put back in correct gasket order and once the choke releases the engine starts to surge. Put the lever about halfway to choke and it levels out. Lather rinse repeat with same results. Same Husky Honda combo. Anybody?
I get pissed when I see a used head gasket put back on and the other side was blown out. Those flippers can really screw people over, plus they even video it….
ffs i just gave this mower back to a guy and i did the same thing i put that plastic part on backwards its probably why it shaving a hard time starting..ffs of course i come across this soon as i give it to the guy
@@RaleysSmallEngines yeha i just did thanks for this video i dont like letting things go until im fully satisified wiht them myself..this one was bothering me but my own inexperience and ignorance made it the way it is most i fix easy but soemtimes due to soemthing idk like this one ehre it happens

Shame on Honda for creating a repair death trap. I am sure they could have created a better assembly.
