I couldn't figure out how to get the main jet out and was worried about forcing it with the inner threads from the bowl side. Pressure washer worked on the first pull. Great video. As mentioned, thank you for cutting it down to the bare essentials!
Thanks for the upload. My Honda wouldn’t idle properly. Thanks to your very clear instructions it now run perfect. I had to use some 20lbs fishing line for a few of the smallest holes and it worked great. Hardest part was getting the air cleaner and gaskets lined up when reinstalling 🤗
Good video. I bought one of these engines and used it one time. Put non-ethanol gas in it and ran all the gas out before I stored it for the winter. Yesterday, it wouldn't run. Being a Honda, I figured the carb was stopped up. Never seen this carb before. My jet was clogged, but never found any dirt in it, not sure what clogged it. Thanks for the video.
You don't need all of the special tools. A small flat blade screwdriver is used to remove the main jet and a sewing needle pin can be used to unplug the main jet and clear the many perforations on the nozzle that sits above the main jet. Main jet and nozzle are covered starting at 1:26 thru 3:00. Any brand brand of carb cleaner will do just fine. If your engine has been sitting idle a long time and will only run with the choke on you can bet the main jet is plugged up. If you are not going to use a small engine for than 30 days - drain the gas and run engine until it stops. Also use an ethanol enhancer in the fuel. These small engine do not like the 10% ethanol gas that's used these days. A great video! Thanks for taking the time. Wish there were more like this. Got right to the point without 5 mins of useless prolog chit-chat.
I don't know about that. I watched another guy do an excellent video and he said that the Honda carburetor had a special varnish type coating and that powerful solvents would take that coating off and pieces of it could lodge in the small orfices of the carb causing problems.
Good description of how to overhaul a carby on a Honda lawn mower. I got my dads GCV160 motor running good today as it was running rough & misfiring, I wasn't sure of the portings because I pulled it apart a few times & blew it out with compressed air & it didn't make a difference. The primary jet underneath the screw on top of the carby was blocked until I poked a piece of tie wire through it. All I may have to do now is adjust the way idle screw as it's idling a bit fast at the moment,at least it isn't coughing & spluttering like it was before.
My mower wouldn't work. I watched your video, broke down the carb (first one I've ever broken down), followed your steps, fired it up, and now I'm fixing to mow. Thanks.
Awesome! I can drive 25 Miles to get gas w/o ethanol but usually burn 10% so, it needed cleaning, but my problem was that the screw holding the input jet had worked loose. from your screen shot, it needs to protrude about 3mm or so. cranked the screw down all they way (5-6mm) and it misfires. about halfway and it runs better than it has in sometime. the jet was basically flush with the input manifold - designed to work its way loose over time...
Hello, great video..... do you have any tips on cleaning and adjusting the engine on a Honda Harmony HRM 215 ? Thanks a ton...... (it's a hard start and seams to be running sluggish, thanks again)
I believe the soldering iron is used to melt the glue bonding the limiter cap to the pilot jet. Otherwise the pilot jet is engineered to break when removing the limiter cap.
Joe Brothers it was made so only certified dealers and service centers could service them and to sell new one's when that screw breaks off I'm glad he shared this!
I'm having a problem with my carbeurator leaking from the float. I've tried fastening it as hard as I can. Is it supposed to be fixed in some kind of way so that it doesn't leak?
I really do not understand tutorials that have no speaking in them. Kind of useless. Thanks for spending the time to prepare, film, edit, and NOT speak.
Perfect instructions on teardown/cleaning! To-the-point, and no annoying commentary..lol..thanks!
Thank you for NOT TALKING !! So many vids are torture trying to listen to. Yours trains the procedure without the baloney. Well done.
Great video to clean and reassemble my Honda gcv 170 engine on the Honda lawn mower. I couldn't get the screw off but was able to clean everything.
Thank you for not rushing thru the cleaning process, I learned several pointers on how to clean the jets. I give this video 5* rating.

mechmusicman you are not suppose to remove the gas from the tank.

Thank you so much; I was just about to take mine to a repair shop and decided to try out you method, it worked like a charm.

I followed all your instructions and got my mower working again.
Thanks a bunch, this is awesome!
Now I get it thank you, I was not able to get the main jet to drop out, but now that I saw you push it down, I get it 👍👍
Best service video I've seen. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!!!
Very well done, showed exactly how each part is removed and put back

There wasn't any sound on the video, but still a great help! I used to to clean my carb, thanks for uploading!

I did remove the nozzle.. didn't know about it,, thanks bro ✌
This guy obviously knows what he is doing! Nice!
Super Video Meister !
Thank you for this excellent video. My wood splitter is now working again.

Per Ottosson new gaskets maybe?
Very professional and very nice. thanks
Merci de n'avoir rien dit.
La vidéo est bien filmée et treès claire.
Great video.
Thanks for sharing
indeed he does. important not to enlarge those holes while rodding them. He did it correctly.
Great quality to this video. thanks
Awesome Job! It got mine FIXED.
Thank You!!! Video was a great help!!!
Excellent video!
sweet jesus....best video ever!!
I really do not understand tutorials that have no speaking in them. Kind of useless. Thanks for spending the time to prepare, film, edit, and NOT speak.
that was 2 turns out on the pilot jet yet the spec reads 1 and 5/8
What are the things on the key rings called?
Very helpful. Thank you.
Perfect
I cleaned a Tecumseh Series 11 carburetor simple little thing. Honda keihin ones are much nicer of course.
Good job, easy very easy
Maybe if the person spoke, it would explain all the small details.
brilliant
how to adjust pilot screw when unit is running ???
Please speak … it helps walk us through
Very good.
thank you. worked great.
The cost of those tools and two cans far exceed the cost of a new carb. Complete waste of time and money. Better off replacing carb
looks like the idle mixture screw is 2 turns out from stop
Or... spend $17 and buy a new carburetor. Yes, they're that cheap.
good thanks
The part at 1:45 - 1:55 just DOES not work. I can;t get that brass JET out of there!
Bry C jn
Looks to me that carburetor never been used, so you are not really cleaning it...!
Work on something used!!
I heard that the ETHANOL fuel is what gets these blighters so stopped up. What a drag. Major procedure!!! Ugh!
Yup, don't put corn syrup in your car either. Cat-converters are expensive too!
You can buy a brand new one that includes a spark plug , air filter , and air filter foam pad. Plus 2 hoses and 4 hose clamps for $15.00 to $17.00 .
Phillip Franklin those are cheap knock offs - not Honda. Good luck.
Thanks what a complicated carb
Bad design, too many small holes. They should know you have to deal with ethanol.
5HP motor with DG set cost And out put per month total cost
1,DG set prise good model
2,desel & petrol And ext.......!
3, explain sendto my mail
lol
