Today we're going to replace the OEM Honda GC160 carburetor with a Chinese-produced replacement that I purchased off Amazon Prime. I purchased this Karcher power washer about two years ago from an auction for dirt cheap, and it has never run right. I have cleaned the carb multiple times, already done a rebuild kit for the OEM carb, and it still won't run correctly. Drastic times call for drastic measures. I got this "tune-up" kit off amazon for around $14 and it came with a new carb, a spark plug, air filter, pre-filter, and a fuel filter. I know these Chinese carbs don't have a great reputation for longevity, but considering I have so little money invested in it, I figured I would give it a try and see what happens.

Glad it worked out but that carb is for the vertical shaft motors not the horizontal. That's why the bowl drain was different. Also the pre-filter likely isn't needed since it's not a lawn mower.
During reassembly, you installed the choke lever upside-down and the throttle rod goes through the center of the throttle spring.
Last but most important, #1 rule of pressure washer is you don't leave the pressure washer running when you're not using it. You'll overheat the pump if you leave it running without spraying water for 1-2 minutes.
Thanks for the tips! Carb is still running strong to this day!
My honda pw is 18 yrs old just bought 3 of those carbs and fuel pump had to remove spring around black plastic lever it was hindering the choke used it today runs like new
Thanks. I’ve had my pressure washer that is exactly like the one he’s repairing since brand new. I think I bought it in 1995.
Just followed this video and had no problem whatsoever replacing the carburetor. Many thanks for posting this.
Glad it could help yah out!
$20-30 and time. Well worth it. Great job. 👍
Hopefully it helped! Thanks for watching!
14:48..."alright, now that the entire thing is soaked in gasoline"..
crack me up!
Thanks for watching!
I have the same pressure washer. I bought it at Costco back around 1995. I overhauled my carburetor with parts from one I bought on Amazon rather than replace the original all together. I was afraid the after market part was not as good as the original . I’m on my 3 rd pump.
Sounds like the pump is the weak link in this unit!
Would have showed the gasket to the engine
Amigo tienes el videos ,, del gobernador y como puedo ajustarlo para que acelere cuando abrí el pasillo de agua? Muchas gracias por su respuesta
no, sorry
Almost 30 y/o so it doesn’t owe me anything. Sounds like yours has done well by you since you got it at auction for $10-$20. I can’t remember how much mine was new.
Yeah mine treated me well, I’ve since passed it along to a friend for free as I got a new hot water pressure washer
You'll find out about the gaskets on that gc160
That ole girl is long gone. Sent her down the road a while ago
Hey I’m watching you because I’m having the same problem so I hope you figure it out
The new carb fixed the issue
Hi what is your rpm under load
I’m not sure, sorry
Should be minimum of 3600
Not enough Michelle
I’ll be sure to let her know you requested her presence in future videos
