have had a problem with my honda mower for years. I took it to a mower repair man and he made it worse. eventually after a winter lay up it would not start so I decided to take a look myself with the help of this video and am so grateful for the help. the maim problem was that the guy who looked at it before when reassembling dropped one of the gaskets an one side.all good now thanks.
I think it a bit radical but I cut away the top part of the plastic cover behind the air filter to more easily get to the idler screw and to assemble. just cover again with some gorilla tape.

Thanks for the video and keeping my "I found all of my yard equipment on the side of the road tradition" alive.

Excellent video.  I like how you kept it simple and straightforward, not alot of excess talk, well lit and I really appreciate the camera not jumping all over the place.  Thanks for the education.

Finally someone who actually shows you that it runs better after they finished.

For a carb set up like that would of been nice of Honda used two long studs and nuts instead of long bolts. Would make life way better

If the emulsion tube is stuck you can easily push it out from inside the bore, FYI.

Great tutorial; tried your ultrasonic cleaner step (mixed 1 cup almost boiling water, 2 caps of Pine Sol) with a few run cycles, rinsed, dried overnight, and reassembled- bullseye! Pesky startup and surging now starts on (almost) first pull- no more surging, running on half- choke. I was about to cave and buy yet ANOTHER "Honda" carb, but tried your steps with success. I finally added Sta-bil to the fuel, and happy to have my power washer up and running great again; thank you! 👍👍

For the record this is May, 2017 and I found this video.  Thank you, Thank you.  I am mechanically minded but never tried to do anything with a carberator, even on my lawn mower.  I have an Ex-cell Power Washer with a Honda GCV 160 engine that is about 15 years old.  I just could not get it started.  I replaced the shut off valve, the in line filter and still could not get it started.  After looking at this video, I figured I would give it a shot.  I do not have the cleaning machine you had in the video but with Purple Power Spray and hot water I was able to clean the entire carberator, reinstall it and now the power washer runs perfectly.  Thank you.

Excellent video - I wish every "How to" on YouTube was this detailed.

After watching this video I was able to pull apart the carburetor on my lawnmower and fix the surging problem. THANK YOU for the excellent tutorial!!!

Fixed my cub cadet thanks to your video. Getting the throttle  plate out of the way saved me big time!

Thank you so much for making this video! I never would have had the confidence to do this without your help! My mower runs great again!

Thank you! Watched this video and cleaned my carb with no problems. Mower is running like a boss again.

Helped me fix my power washer!  You're awesome dude.

Very good job on the video, you seemed to cover all the steps very well. I've done a few of these, and I learned a couple of hints and tricks from you. Just a suggestion: When I reassemble a carb onto the engine, I install temporary studs into the bolt threads of the engine (just finger tight), then reassemble in the proper sequence onto the temp studs. Then apply slight pressure towards engine, remove 1 stud and install a bolt, then remove the other stud and install that bolt. I think it makes the necessary reassembly steps easier than trying to hold it all together (especially when reconnecting the crankcase breather tub), getting things aligned, and install the bolts. Made the temporary studs by cutting the heads off some old carb bolts.

YES SIR!!!! Watched the sandwhiching a few times.. got my Honda GCV160 running after a thorough carb clean & replacement gaskets!

THANK YOU SIR!!

You can putvtje smalll parts in a Little Cage people use for lose Tea Leafs

These Craftsman mowers with the Honda engines are simply great mower and will last decades if you take care of them....

Thanks for this video. It's been years since I stripped and cleaned a carb so this video was a great refresher to watch before I start. Best to you and yours.

I noticed that my mower runs great since I used the canned 92 octane with no ethanol.  Can buy at Home Depot and other hardware stores.
