From experience, if you hit a lot of small rocks with your DR of that design the top bearing will loosen (deform) and allow the shaft to strike the cover plate until it actually wears a hole in your cover plate. Until they sold the company DR used to offer complete replacement shaft assemblies with the bearings pre-installed as it was a common issue. I miss the old DR company and wish the current owners still supported this model.

Why clean off the carb so then parts go into a pan with the elements you just clean off. I would put the parts on a paper towel.

I have the exact same mower but the issue is that it will turn on but at an incredibly low operating speed as if the motor is not drawing the full amount of power to turn the blade and eventually after turning it off and attempting to turn it back on it fails to start it wont turn back on until either a couple hrs or the next day but again at that incredibly slow operating speed.

You start off by cleaning the outside of the carburetor so as not to contaminate the inside parts. The dirt goes into your pie pan. Then you tear the carb apart and put it in the dirty pan

best video I've seen re these honda carbs, my gcv160 surges, replaced carb and wax choke actuator (auto choke sysem) last Apr and started surging again @ < a yr ! Cleaned jet and brass tube under it and still surged. I didn't know of idle circuit : ( Will try the idle circuit oriface cleaning now that I know now. Thks
@evelynmahoney35694 ай бұрын
@richardkanady7466 Same experience here with the GCV160. If it's is like mine, from what I've learned -there is no idle adjustment on the carb. (Fixed throttle too on this mower.) There's a Phillips head screw on the carb that you remove to expose the pilot jet, a tiny hole about 1/2" down in there. Pretty sure it's the culprit. Have not been able to penetrate it with ANYTHING. Tried Carb Cleaner sprays, lemon juice, oven cleaner, and welding tip/ torch tip cleaners. Nada. Gonna see if Harbor Freight has micro drill bits, lemon juice (more) / pinesol soak, laquer thinner, and possibly boiling. 3 times tearing down and cleaning it. Also cleaned fuel tank, and reset the governor twice. Still surged. Frustrating. This will be the 4th time. See Steve's Small Engine Saloon for the best detail on this type of pilot jet. (If u haven't already bought a new one - which will be my next step if this 4th time doesn't fix it. $20? You bet!) He shows other styles in the same video so stay focused & you'll see this one. He uses a handheld micro drill bit and emphasizes when you see it get thru the clog. Good Luck.
