Any tips for getting the screw out, please? It's really stuck.

I'm having a hard time REPLACING the cover... can't get the hook to latch... any suggestions?

Thank you!

Worked like a charm!

These models seem over-enengineered. i would never have bought it if i knew this was such a mess to disassemble. Good thing their gone in 2025.

Thanks! This wasn't the exact same as my 10 year old mower, but close enough that I could get it back together again.

Got this same problems, the dose mower idles, but the speed control doses not change the rev/ engine speed?? Any ideas

Funny and informative= subscribe !

Thank you for doing this. It was extraordinarily helpful.

Thanks for the video. My screw was tough too. Got a screwdriver that fit perfectly and tapped it on top. I really had to bear down on it but it came out. Used compressed air and torch tip cleaner to clean it. Put it back together and it seems to be running fine. Thanks again

Thank you for Posting

The breather reed valve is bad....

I know there will be a really good answer to this question, 'why was there no lubricant in the gear/s on dis-assembly and none on re-assembly'?

My mower is leaking oil Out of the air filter. Oil level is correct, air filter is clean. Curious what could Be next, head gasket?

Thanks bro!! I was about to rip it off!!! 😡

Great video. This fixed my stuttering / surging Honda HRX216. Thanks.

The main problem that always fixes surging, starting, warm start issues is the main jet with the plastic housing. Remove the blackouts plastic idle screw, remove the main jet and clean orifice with a fine drill bit set specifically for very fine jets and reinstall and adjust your plastic screw 4.5 turns out for proper engine rpm. I’ve done this 4 times over 8 years of owning this mower and it always fixes the recurring issue. The jet is so fine and gets clogged and corroded over time. Amazon sells the mini micro precision drill bits for about $8 for a set of 20 different sized bits. Enlarging the main jet hole size by 2 or 3 bit sizes larger also helps to increase the fuel intake to the carburetor and it will run smoother.

Thanks, Man! I feel kind of stupid, but I'm told humility is a virtue. Thanks again!

You need a jis (Japanese industry standard) screw driver to remove that screw. easily found online. Funny most Japanese cars like my Toyota have many of these screws which look like plain old Philip screws. I'm sure many people stripped many of these not knowing this.

Thanks for the video was a huge help

I’m going to try this for sure since my those the same thing

Thank you👌🏽

Fantastic video and great commentary! Mower runs good as new!

Just replaced the full carb but it's struggling to start and sometimes when it does start after tweaking, it either surges like the video or does on big continuing surge and then stalls, some help please

Damn I had no idea.

How do you turn it on?????

thanks a lot, my head was about to explode!

Fail of a video. I watched this to find out what was wrong with the mower, not to get lawncare advice. Did not really solve any problems. Brand new oil. Brand new filter. Clear breather hose. Massive oil leaking through filter. Next video please.

Knock offs Made in chynra. Support made in America That’s the problem

why not add a manual choke cable to the replacement carb and adjust the carb by yourself?

Great mower, I race mine in a local competition. I run aftermarket pulley on mine to get it really moving. Also had it dyno tuned. 👍

@dad's workshop... can you look at this and tell me how to remove the #1 screw that is to the right of where you worked? You remove two of the three in the video...but I want to understand what that other screw is and how to remove, clean, and replace it...Thank you for a great video..with wonderful music.

Thank you that was very informative especially the two stud bolts❤

Very helpful video. Thanks a lot. Helped me to resolve exactly the same problem with my relatively new and little used HRN536 with the GCV170 engine. I never had this problem with the old Hondas. Whether this is an ethanol issue or whether the new idle jets are more prone to clogging I don't know. I could not unscrew the idle jet - it was fast, but carb cleaner and ultrasonic cleaning did the trick. Thanks again

Love the video and thank you for clarification on everything 🙏

What’s the service interval on that timing belt?

I just subscribe, my question is,can i used this mix in Delaware?, is resistant to cold ,here is not thats cold but,is beatiful the dark color!

helped a ton, thanks!

Ive a 2019 hrx217 k6vla versamow that is kinda dragging the left rear wheel and when it does roll its making a clacking noise as it goes around. The drive still works fine. It seems ti only be like that when im pushing it without engaging the transmission. At first i thought it was a wheel bearing,so i replaced the left wheel where im hearing the noise. Noise didnt go away obviously. At a glance the gear looks ok,tire sits nice and straight,shaft seems tight. Im really stuck on this one,please help if youve any ideas.

Don't run the engine indoors for too long.

U removed too many components which to a beginner diyer would be too complex. U didn’t have to remove handle for chip director, blade adapter; cover shroud Everything else u did ok

What do you do if the engine is racing non stop?

Any advice on how to move forward if the Brake assy and Pulley are frozen on the post? 6:21 Not being able to remove them is keeping me from installing the new belt.

I'm 2 years old using 2 hrn216 to cut 20-33 houses per day and I never had problems and you're going to get me without using it you'd be better hurt tell me you're a bull boy but sling is much better , I use sling because simply the cut is better and it doesn't leave the grass dirty just does a better job with the double blades

How many hours does a mower work per month with a proffesional gardener?

What about oil out of the exhaust? With white smoke. Briggs Stratton

Excellent video. Great detail, answered many of my questions.

I changed the blade and oil ran out the air filter.

when i try to take off the bolt that holds the clutch on it spins the shaft how do i remove it?

Thank you for the video! This has been a big help with my repair. I did have a question. If the bushings in the height adjuster do need to be replaced, what are best practices when installing the new bushings? Do they require any lubricant at all? I wasn’t sure since they are plastic. Also do I just use a hammer to tap it down into the wheel assembly hole?
