Honda HRX 217 lawn mower is surging. Here's how I fixed it. # HondaHRX217

#hondamower #hrx217 This video show a Honda HRX217 lawnmower that is having a fuel surging problem. I will show you how I fixed this issue. This video will show how to remove, clean, and drill your Honda carburetor. The total time to fix this surging issue will be about 20 - 30 minutes.

Three points:
(1) Using M6-1.0 threaded rods as temporary guide studs is genius! I had thought about permanently replacing the original bolts with threaded rod, but there is simply no need to do so, as you clearly show.
Using threaded rods as temporary guide studs allows one to bypass the whole gasket drama that goes with every HRX217 Honda carb overall. BEAUTIFUL!
(2) Using a wire to hold the threads of the main jet as you unscrew it is also a great technique. You are the only person on UA-cam I have seen do this, but it is so simple and so helpful.
I use a bent paper clip or a plastic toothpick for this purpose, as I have done for years. Every time I see someone shaking or beating their carburetor to get the loosened main jet out, I just shake my head. It is simply not necessary -- as you clearly demonstrated.
(3) I strongly agree with your use of engineered fuel when storing any small engine equipment. I started doing this about five years ago and all my equipment starts right up every time I need to use it. Further, I use only engineered fuel in my equipment AND the carburetors stay clean and run well for years, not just months. (I have had it up to here 😡 with ANY gas station fuel for my small engines.)
Many thanks for the video. 👍👍👍👍

This video was perfect for a mature female trying to fix the same exact problem. Now to find the different tools you used to assist you with the project. I did the tune-up and oil change, and now it's surging, so I suspect it's the carburetor needing a thorough cleaning due to it being put away last fall with fuel in the tank - not my decision, but was told it wouldn't hurt anything. Guess it did! I would suggest some way for you to zoom in on your work, so a novice like me can see better what you're doing. You're doing a great job describing the steps and identifying what you're doing, but it would be nice to see what you're doing, too. Retired teacher!

I will absolutely do that in future videos, I'm still trying to figure out how to make good videos, and with your comment this will help me
