I have the same lawnmower for 25 years and every Spring it starts on the 3rd pull. Excellent video! Thank you for the detail. I am sure I can use the help when my mower needs maintenance

Great video, every other video I could find showed how to clean the carb, but this showed the injector being removed and after I removed the pin and cleaned it my mower runs better than ever. Many thanks

My main jet hole was plugged. I watched several other videos before your tip was discovered. After getting plugged hole free it started right up and ran like new!! Much appreciated!!!

Well, I have that same engine and model with the less swoops magnesium deck. It would not start even with starter fluid! Plug looked okay but replaced it anyway. Was the right move and starts with fluid now but dies right away! I am reasonably handy but your wonderful video gave me the experience I need BEFORE I needed it! Thank you so much! Cleaning the carb tomorrow!

Well thanks for your help! I cleaned carburetor and got it running today. It actually took 2 times of taking it apart and blowing everything out with compressed air and carburetor cleaner and it runs like a champ! Thnx again.

this is a GREAT video! I appreciate your attention to t cleaning the carb and all it's parts! Well done!

I really needed this video! Appreciate you naming the parts as you worked through the clean & not skipping any minor steps that would cause a novice like me to muck it up. Thank you thank you thank you!

Exactly the same issue with a newer model. But carb set up looks almost identical, so will be following this advice vid. Thanks.

Many thanks I have amountfield with the same carb your solution worked a treat my mower is on steroids now - subscribed

Nicely done. I have the same mower with the same issue and you made it easy. Thanks.

Another Harmony 215 fixed because of you! Thanks!

Fixed problem all clean and it works great. Thank you pal👍🏽

Had that problem too and bending the little tab fixed it straight away. Thanks for the vid!!

Great video, couldn't have done it without your vid. My carb was in terrible shape. Full of hard water deposits and rust. Still not getting gas. I'm going to try to use a needle to clean all those little holes in the jet and see it that's the problem. Or see if I can find a vid for carb rebuild. Thanks for all your help!

Thanks so much for this video. I didnt realize it had a main jet and atomizer tube. Fixed my problem after storage for 5 years and it wouldnt stay running after a squirt of starting fluid. Thanks again.

was about to take mine to shop....saw this video and also went on amazon can get the whole kit for 20 bucks will replace the carb thanks

Thanks for the help, went super smooth!

This is a very well done video and explanation of what to do with a gummed up carb. I've never taken a carb off in my 68 years. Always wanted to but had more money than time so I always paid someone else to do this stuff. Now I have time and this walked me through it perfectly. Everything went back together perfectly thanks to you! Mower started first pull and runs like a top. Thanks for taking the time to do this and for sharing with the rest of us five thumbers.........

Good video, here's a tip, if you are not going to use it for a while then turn of the gas valve and let it run until it stops. That will keep it from gumming up again. And be careful not over bend the spring too much, better safe than sorry.

Brilliant thanks for the video really useful , very similar for my HRD 536

I even added a fuel filter on my Honda I always use premium fuel with fuel stabilizer and about 3 Oz of fuel system cleaner everytime I fill 5 gallon jerry can took mine apart last night started to get a slight sure not all the time it is fixed thanks

Great job, thank you this vid is a real help.

Thanks. Good stuff. I have one of these mowers.

Very informative and very much appreciated. Especially the warnings about the "got-cha's". Haha.

I’ve been messing with this carb all day! I’ve never taken that nozzel out! Thanks!

There’s also a screw that adjusts your throttle limit. I need to turn mine up again, starting to bog down a bit when I engage the blades.

Great job. Talk to the bird he could bring you joy one day when the day isn’t going good.

Rather than bend the spring, just move it to the next hole. That’s what it’s there for.....

Great presentation

Very helpful. Thank you!

Thanks a lot, got mine running again!

Well done!

Thank you so much

That's what I thought. Thanks

Giving the engine a clean before hand would be a smart thing to do.

I sold a Honda Harmony 225 to a guy 2 years ago and he called back 2 years later complaining the mower would not start. I brought it back, it started first pull on choke but shut off as soon as the throttle was moved to normal operating position. So I cleaned the carb. out, now it works as it should again.

Awsome video!

Nice job.

Excellent Thank You

Thank you very much for the video. I had the same problem. It took a few tries to start and then when you put the throttle lever to the fast indicator (rabbit picture), it would surge and at times stall, especially when you hit some tall grass. I cleaned the carburetor according to your video, though I did not soak overnight the float and other parts in carburetor fluid. It started on the first pull and did not surge. It appears that the main issue was the main jet port part between the nozzle and carburetor bowl, as there appears to be some dirt obstructing the small port. Will see how things go. How did you clean the fuel tank?

Great video! I'm working on an older lawn boy mower that has a Honda engine. It's starts right up but once the choke slides open it shuts down. If u hold the choke close it stays running. Any ideas? The mower hasn't ran for probably 8-10 years. I did run the gas out of it the last time I used it.

Excellent

Excellent video. You think running that carb in a harbor freight ultrasonic parts cleaner full of carb cleaner over night would get the gunk out or better off disassembling like you did?

Do you have a video showing making gaskets, I thought that was a good idea? Also, my float bowl bolt was leaking, I think that had a little spongey washer on it, what would you use if that was leaking? I ended up buying a $20 replacement on Amazon but I’ll clean the old one up for a backup!

Nice vid, I have the same mower with the same issue, I love youtube because like this, the answer is out there. No more paying the lawn mower repair guy, lol he should have been nicer lol btw, where is the idle adjustment on this mower?

A dirty air filter can cause start and run. I cleaned the filter and it ran fine it was run only when primed and quit

At the end can't you just move the spring to the other hole? Are those meant for that?

Does this lawnmower mulch and bag, looking at buying it used.

Merci Canada M.T.L Québec 😮

Thanks for the video, I gotta do this to mine as well. Question, is the pull start hard to pull? I have this model Honda and a newer Toro and the Toro is much easier to pull! My wife can't start my Honda.

Try a drywall screw ,they work perfect for pulling out nozzles.

excellent! God bless you, and Jesus loves you!

On Honda. Vapor gas what I did drill open gas flow. Jet stop up. Need fuel filter gas cap put small pen hole cap!! Vent center. Done all this Fix all problem. Why use clean jet then wire bread wire plastic off show wire. Then get air compressor blow low & high jets

What about the pilot jet , under the plastic screw and plastic plug ?

No mention or clean out of idle jet screw on the side, and how to remove the "tab" that blocks access to the tiny hole and passage way .

I have same lawnmower and my issue is that it will start when i move it off the choke but will only run for 30 seconds or a minute at most then cuts off. And it always dies when i try to engage the blade. Is this a carb issue ??

Does that lawnmower have the 3 speed transmission or hydrostatic?

when cleaning a carb Ive' noticed that you don't use a ultranisonic cleaner. Many other small engine mechenics use this tool for cleaning parts,. I was just wondering why you don't.

Here's a super duper top secret trick. Use fuel stabilizer year round. You will never have this issue again.

At 10:05, " I hope making the gasket (with four holes and two inch width) won't be too complicated). ??? You can always call the engineers at NASA for advice.

My carb was 10 times worse. What type of carb is that I've got the same one but my main jet is completely stuck in their I've tried everything might have to get a new one

I own that same mower. Recently when the engine is running oil collects inside the air filter assembly. I've never tipped the mower on that side. What is causing this?

Was the gunk caused by ethanol gas

You never cleaned out the pilot jet a.k.a. slow jet. Was that an oversight or on purpose?

Do you happen to know what the part number is for the studs coming out of the head?

MY TOOTHBRUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you didnt even clean the idle jet?

Is there a place to buy Honda parts on line cheaply ? AliExpress or ? I live in Canada

Good video but you didn’t make that gasket

hi, I followed your instructions to clean out the carb completely but the lawn mower still stops after starting with gum cutter. Any idea, please help. THanks

Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower kzfaq.infoUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.

The

There is simply no such thing as a Honda lawnmower not starting.

wrong gasolin makes carb bad

if I did all of that I would not know how to put it back together and may as well get a new lawn mower. The bad thing about these "do it yourself" if you don't know what you are doing you will break it.

Should never use a Q tip inside a carburetor.

Total hack.

It's the spark plug.

Here's a super duper top secret trick. Use fuel stabilizer year round. You will never have this issue again.
