After struggling to get all the carb gaskets and packings in place, I came up with a simple improvement. Make two long studs ,same length as the bolts from 6mm threaded bar. Screw these into engine. The gaskets and carb can be assembled easily in order, and fixed in position with 2 nuts in air filter.

it could be an air leak between the carb and the block, they often run like this when this is the case, the engine idle suddenly drops and then they stall when theres a very lean mixture. could try new gaskets and nipping the 2 carb bolts up gently until it runs smoothly. This has always worked well for me with those gcv135/160 engines

I don't know how the engineers at Honda were able to design a mower that coats the whole deck and engine in dirt...but they did...I have one, and am surprised by the amount of debris and dust in the air cleaner after a single mow. I clean the filter after each use. The oil seal installation on the governor shaft helped keep the oil drip from adding to the mess.

@danoakley6538 3 жыл бұрын

Honda air filters are a tad fatter than the square Briggs filter. I just learned that on youtube a couple of days ago. The Briggs kind make an imperfect seal.

I have been struggling with this damn mower carb for 3 years since new. Thanks for the video - I have been cleaning this carb twice during the season for 3 years. Surely this is a design fault by Honda. I am hopefully getting a free new carb from my supplier soon and I'm going to run it on Aspen fuel only. Its definitely due to the size of the jet not being correct and it needs to be bigger for more fuel.

Excellent video. Followed it carefully and used all new gaskets but every time I switch the fuel on I'm getting leaks from the carb area. Tried refitting 3 or 4 times and same problem. Any ideas? It never leaked before the carburettor cleaning..

What causes the blockages in the carb jets? Is it lack of fuel filter, varnish type material in the fuel or a mixture? Shame you couldn't get it running completely sweet after a cleanup.

Does the carb float pin part to pin facing up or down? Also my lawnmower HRX 426 , the self drive works but it’s very slow, and when the lawnmower hits the floor it don’t work. When I move it up to check if the drives turning it is turning fine. Any idea ? Chain on and belt looks strong.
