Today we are Working on the Honda WT30 Dewatering pump. This is a 3 inch pump powered by a Honda GX160. The issue with this Honda GX160 is that it only runs with the Choke on. At first I thought it was a fuel related Problem. This video series is to go about troubleshooting to see what the issue is. Post your comments on what you think maybe the issue.
bad carb?
low compression ?
valve issue ?
this will be the same if you have a gx120,gx160,gx200, or any other honda clone engine.

Great, thanks for not answering the problem!
You didn't solve the problem buddie
Comes for answers * gets asked to what the answers are *
Not gonna lie in the first half of the video you kinda comes across as someone who knows what the hell they're doing then by the end you're asking us to fix your engine for you. This aint it chief.
If your engine simply won't run the quickest way to get somewhere is spray a flammable into the air intake like carb cleaner or starting fluid and if it still won't even fire for a second you have no spark. If It does fire then your having a fuel issue.. disconnect the fuel line from the carb and make sure its flowing out nicely. If not then most likely just need to clean the carb, its not difficult just take photos and remember exactly how everything came apart, note which side up or down on any little parts you remove.. stay organized and don't lose anything, Goodluck :)
gasket leakage
I had a problem with a GX160 only running on full choke, that's what brought me here. Problem solved: two words, wife diesel.
You cant leave these engines with gas in them for more than a month without risk of ruining carb. The good news is the carbs are under $20 online. Don't mess with trying to clean the carb, just install new one and go on.
Save yourself time and energy when working on a motor with broken recoil use a high power drill or impact on the center bolt just be careful for a back fire also use a 6+ inch extension and make sure socket can’t easily come off and fall onto the crank
Found my answer. Watch the video. When he unscrews the inner nozzle tube inside the carburetor, (where he takes a flat screwdriver and unscrews the post) I had taken carb cleaner to the fitting, and it seemed cleaned - but it wasn't. It was partially obstructed. Just look through it onto the light and see if yours is plugged too. Then I found that inside the nozzle tube was slightly plugged too. I sprayed carburetor cleaner through the hole and found that it comes through the carburetor but could not see where the exit point was from. I later surmised that it is coming between the two choke plates inside the carburetor. (there's two plates plied together, not one. There was no way I could clean between those plates with carb cleaner. So I re-assembled the carburetor and found that I was on the right track. It ran fairly rough in the "run" position, but ran. Tomorrow I am going to get a chemical cleaner such as sea foam or something and try to chemically dissolve the rest of the deposits between those two plates as I use it for tomorrows work. This is given that everything else that you can find is "good." don't forget to take the float off and clean the needle valve, and spray all the fuel ports clean inside the carburetor. Then use fuel stabilizer in the gas from then on.
Thanks for the tip on checking whether or not the tank had airflow. It inspired me to check my clogged breather tube (predator, not honda) and my engine is running normally again.
had the same problem. replaced the carburetor gaskets and fixed my problem.
it's going to run lean if the carburetor to intake manifold gasket is bad yes I also agree with the gas cap a lot of people don't know that the gas cap has vent holes and the gas cap very good video
I've got the same problem!!! By the way, the choke lever has a nodule the same diameter as the fuel line so just pinch the hose and pull, then attach the choke lever to it. No leak ;)
I am from AUSTRALIA and i watched your videos GOOD JOB
Same for 2023 cars & trucks. The fuel filler cap lets air in! The amount they let out from pressure "Does" change. Stamped on cap or sticker, "Caution" May spray fuel was seen on 1960-70's cars. Carbon canister allow air to vent to atmosphere, but capture fuel. The pressure out was 1 PSI for decades then changed to 2 PSI so if tank pressure got to high. 10+ years ago, inputs from timer, air temp and time driven requires "Engine-Off, Natural Vacuum" helps the fuel tank pressure sensor sends info to the PCM 20 minutes after its shut off and eating dinner. This detects tiny leaks, not small or large.
I have had the same issue with that motor. I put treated gas in it with stabil and it started doing better.
where is pt 2? can not understand the sequence in any of these uboob vids.
Love these videos, I've got a two year old snowblower that has carb issues. I opted for the more expensive snow blower and the damn thing will never start.
solved my problem gas cap would not vent runs fine with cap off
