Amazon sells M6-150 stainless threaded rods you can use to rebuild those Honda carbs. Pull one bolt out and replace with the rod then do the second one. On that one you would also need to remove the throttle plate. I find they are very helpful during reassembly. They come in a pack of 5 for $10.00 US. Great job once again. Thank you for sharing.
Good tip!
I never seen a plastic body with double blades, pretty cool.
I've seen a few of these old Hondas with plastic decks. They are getting brittle, and are starting to crack now...
A good tip to keep your cleaning solution cleaner longer is to put the carb into a glass jar full with solution then put the whole jar in the water. just make sure the jar is taller than the water level.
I have seen that done, and I have tried it. It does work, but I find it works better and faster to go directly in the solution. If I was using some expensive specific ultrasonic cleaning solution I would probably use it like you describe. However, I use Simple Green HD Pro on MANY dozens of carbs in a year, and only change it once per year. $20/jug. The used stuff gets put in a sprayer to degrease riding mowers when I buy them used. You posted good info though, thanks for watching!
@@randomwrenching ok sounds good , what ratio of green do you use?
@@BillyTpower My cleaner holds about 2 gal, so I put a whole 1 gal jug of the HD Pro in it (purple stuff, aluminum safe) and top it off to the top with distilled water. Normal water works fine too, but I always have distilled water in stock for radiators and batteries anyways. 10 minutes at 40* usually cleans a carb just fine
@@randomwrenching ok great ty. I only have access to purple power, is that ok too
@@BillyTpower I'm not sure about that brand, we don't have it here. Whatever you want to use, make SURE its safe for aluminum
Keep it up with the awesome videos
Thanks for watching
Thank you
Thanks Rusty
Hi I plan to use your video, was wondering if the carburetor cleaner spray can would work instead of dipping in solution
Good day RW Interesting. Could u not uae studs to mount carb.? Thanks
Sure you can use studs. That's the way I would build them from the start. But alas, I'm juat a lowly repair guy...lol
That engine seems to run at a lower rpm then a briggs
It does seem so. The Hondas are pretty quiet.
4.5 not 5.5
Sorry Bill, referring to what?
Nevermind, I caught it...lol. Good eye!
@@randomwrenching 4.5 not 5.5 turns sorry hit the enter key to fast
