Clear and concise with capturing video and explanations. Pulled off the carburetor filter holder to clean the sticking choke and all parts, carb, cables & gaskets fell off and I had not a clue where to put them back in place until I found this video. Was up and running in less than 10 minutes. Thank You!
excellent, best I've seen so far on reassembling the carb. Perhaps it's personal preference but I find it easier if you unbolt the governor plate, assemble the carburetor with parts, gaskets, and governor plate, mount the carburetor to the engine, then re-bolt the governor plate last.
I do this often at customers homes in their driveway and it’s a pain in the toosie with all those pieces but been at it 15 years so have gotten good at it but uggg all those pieces still suck. I do love Honda mowers they run well.
Super video! Help me reinstall my mower carburetor assembly after removing the two bolts behind the air filter to try to clean it up, only to have the whole thing come to pieces! I followed your video and it started first pull.
@@ghost-4230 Oh, yes. I'd rather get a pair of adjustable locking pliers and squeeze the fuel line shut somewhere (which may or may not fully work). Simply shutting the fuel line valve (which is on most *new* mowers) is so, well, simple.
Great Video,what would the part number be for the carb. thank you,can you tell me what engine this is ,I have one like it but the info. stamped on the engine is GJAAA-1180121,I can't find or confirm what this is for example, is it a GVC160 ENGINE
Ciao per sbaglio con lo stesso taglia erba ho messo la benzina nel contenitore dell’olio. Mi sarei preso a schiaffoni!!! Se svuoto tutto ed aggiungo un litro d’olio nuovo posso risolvere tutto o devo pulire il carburatore?
Where can I find instructions for installing a carb on a Honda Hr214sx, if you know. (The 217 instructions don't help.) Also, where can I get a pair of locking pliers, like the one you used in the video?
It should be noted that not all Honda HRX 217 carbs look like this. The first sign that mine differed was that I have 3 bolts holding the air filter housing. "No big deal; just take out the extra bolt" I thought. Well, once I got at the carb, mine has an extra linkage between the one you showed and the air filter, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it off without bending or cutting it. Off to see if I can find another video that shows how to disassemble this type of carb...
Followup: On the "3 bolt" model, you must take off a 4th 10mm bolt to the right of the air filter housing. This lets you slip off the other linkage. Hope this helps someone else. The next Q is how to get the bowl off if it's stuck fast even after removing the bolt...
I have the GVC160 for a pressure washer. I ordered a Honda GVC 160 carburetor for it and apparently I guess I didn't get the right one (or maybe it doesn't matter) The bowl on the original one has 2 bolts attached to it and the new one has 1 bolt. Also what I noticed is the old one doesn't have an idle screw. But the new one does........Can I still install the new one ?
I used it actually for the first time yesterday. And it ran irregular. meaning the engine would rev up and down slightly. I also installed a new pump at the bottom and let it ran for a while to get all of the air out. But the engine wasn't performing correctly. At times it would come on strong like it should but most of the time it was running with weak pressure. I might of had to much oil in it. Would that be an intacation of how it would be running if it had to much oil . I took out out some and was still running weak.
It's well known that Honda carbs are problematic, why don't I ever see an inline fuel filter on the You Tube fixing Honda carb videos? I don't get it. I put one on mine, and what. Big difference in performance. These Honda carbs cannot take any dirt, unlike the Briggs carbs.
Oh no … no no no … 1:23 do not use a screwdriver. Use some needle nose pliers to carefully do that; screwdriver can tear/cut and jack up the hose end ...
Did you replace the crankcase vent hose into the back of the air cleaner cover? Maybe I missed it! The way Honda designed this carburetor mounting assembly helps you to understand why the Japanese LOST World War II!!!
For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; 15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again. 16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:14-21
Your videos have potential in the way you present. However you leave a lot of things out. For instants you say “next you do this that or the other” but you don’t actually show how to do”this, that or the other.” For a non mechanical person such as myself, that is the critical part of these types of videos. P. S.- There is never quiet, pleasant music playing in the background when I’m doing one of these tedious projects.
I am NEVER buying another piece of shit design Honda. What kind of stupid engineers designed the carburetor attachment system that is so fucking difficult to replace the gaskets? Anyone could have come up with a number of better ways to do so you're not trying to thread the bolts from the outside with a big honking piece of plastic in your way. What kind of fucked up engineers design so poorly. I wish I knew who came up with the design but then I'd end up in prison.

Awesome, thank you. I was swapping out the carburetor and followed you putting it back together...now my mower runs like a champ. Thank you so much. 🙏
👍👍👍 you helped me out a lot. I disassembled everything and forgot how everything goes back lol 😂. Your video helped me out a lot , thanks 😊
Make picture

Thank you. I know there are alot more in depth things to clean on the carb though than just the bowl and float.
I do this often at customers homes in their driveway and it’s a pain in the toosie with all those pieces but been at it 15 years so have gotten good at it but uggg all those pieces still suck. I do love Honda mowers they run well.
Very helpful.. feedbak.. there are 3 different gaskets if you show what they look like before you put them in would be helpful
What a well made video! I was frustrated wathing other videos, this one made me wanna go fix my honda pressure washing rather than throwing it away
Not what i was looking for but helped me to fix mine. THANK YOU SIR.
Thank you this was a very informative video, it saved me a lot of trouble.
Super video! Help me reinstall my mower carburetor assembly after removing the two bolts behind the air filter to try to clean it up, only to have the whole thing come to pieces! I followed your video and it started first pull.
Need to say what size millimeter bolts you're removing.
Excellent video, thank you!!
Looking to buy a small metric socket set for repair and maintenance on my honda mower What size drive and socket size range would you recommend?
thank you - you make it look so easy :) I had more problems with the gaskets:(
What happened at minute 2:47? Disassemble and reassemble ?
You left out re securing the crank case vent to the air box....What a PITA!!
Great video. Followed this and now my float leaks. Bad gasket?
thanks. very helpful.
I bought a used Honda mower and it’s loping , would it be just the carburetor or the float?
Fantastic! Appreciate the help
Nice, but always a good idea to close the fuel line before you go, in case your clamp fails. Yes?
Most lawn mowers I’ve seen don’t even have a shutoff. It doesn’t really matter
@@ghost-4230 Oh, yes. I'd rather get a pair of adjustable locking pliers and squeeze the fuel line shut somewhere (which may or may not fully work). Simply shutting the fuel line valve (which is on most *new* mowers) is so, well, simple.
Why did Honda think it was a good idea to have removable bolts, the ones without the bracket good luck. Now you need 3 hands!
What holds the odaelingarm on
Great Video,what would the part number be for the carb. thank you,can you tell me what engine this is ,I have one like it but the info. stamped on the engine is GJAAA-1180121,I can't find or confirm what this is for example, is it a GVC160 ENGINE
the honda carbs are not all exactly as this one. There is also a breather tube that you did not connect
Excellent video.
Great video! Thank you!
Lining all the gaskets up to refit is tricky tho..any tricks
A small dab of grease will hold the gasket in place
Ciao per sbaglio con lo stesso taglia erba ho messo la benzina nel contenitore dell’olio. Mi sarei preso a schiaffoni!!!

You didn't show how you reattached the breather pipe to the back of the filter.
What are the symptoms for having to change the float?
Won't start runs out of gas fast leaking gas from carb
Thank you very much
Didnt put the breather pipe back on the rear of the filter housing, WHY cause its a nightmare t do:
Why did you have the float off in the first place ? What was the mower doing ?
It's just a video to show u how to take off and reassemble...
@@SherryFiller-h4b yes, but what are the symptons of a bad float?

Bowl comes unstuck if you apply WD-40, heat, or elbow grease.
thanks this helped a lot .
Pro tip: leaning over and doing this on the lawn makes it really hard to line the stuff up. Get a buddy and lift it on a table. MUCH easier!!
You left off a step. The float will go on upside down too. Identify the top of the float so it wont get installed upside down.
Sir 🙏 thank you very much
I have the GVC160 for a pressure washer.

All of the GCV160 carburetors we have, use one bolt to hold the bowls on. You should be okay using the one you ordered.
Yeah I installed it already and it seems to be ok so far.
I used it actually for the first time yesterday. And it ran irregular. meaning the engine would rev up and down slightly. I also installed a new pump at the bottom and let it ran for a while to get all of the air out. But the engine wasn't performing correctly.

SUPER handy tutorial despite you subtly ripping a fart at around 6:16
??
what is the problem of the engine lack of power?
thanks
I want to know as well why this part needs to be changed?
What is the bolt size on this?
10mm
Mine still has the check engine light, help!!

Show the old part
Oh no … no no no … 1:23 do not use a screwdriver. Use some needle nose pliers to carefully do that; screwdriver can tear/cut and jack up the hose end ...
..you should show them cleaning out the pilot jet hole as well with a .013" hand drill bit to fix surging issues..

Looks easy but it’s not, I got it all together and it still doesn’t start. Whatever made it stop all of a sudden is beyond me.

Anothere useless video. Details fuzzy on gasket direction/placement. And very unclear on what holes you use for the 2 throttle linkage.
