I'm about 80% complete with my first GCV160 rebuild (replacing a bent crank shaft), just waiting on on two parts (flywheel bolt and PTO drive pulley). Then I will be able to test my skills. I found torque specs for the GCV160 and utilize proper nut & bolt specs throughout the rebuild. Hopefully...

I'm currently replacing the crank shaft (replacing the original bent PTO end of the crank shaft) in a GCV160 which is two years old (mounted to a HRR216K10VKAA model). It's beyond me how anyone could abuse a two year old Honda lawn mower, but I digress. I tore down the engine and waiting on...

What's weird is the governor rod arm came out of the plastic gear in the oil sump, not entirely sure how to put it back in the correct place with respect to the plastic gear. There is nothing broken in the sump, nor any foreign debris in the bottom of the oil sump. Both the top half and the oil...

I finally managed to get the flywheel off. I split the case and the internals look good and clean. I just need to find that youtube video of the vocational school teacher (in parts) showing how remove the crank shaft without removing the piston. Also, buy parts (Crank shaft, thrush washer) and...

I would luv to revive my GCV160, but I'm having a hell of a time getting the flywheel off. I found a crank shaft for $26.00 and a thrust washer for .26 cents. I have tried a two prong puller and almost destroyed the top of the crank shaft threads. Damn flywheel won't come off. If anyone has any...

Hi Clayslayer, here is my Honda Resto-Mod. I found a economical solution for a replacement engine for a Honda HRR216 I bought for $40. This Honda HRR216 (GCV160 engine had a bent blade shaft (wasn’t worth repairing). I researched online and the cheapest price was $285 plus shipping. Then I...

Hey Romore, I can tell you this. My 2001 Harmony II (Convertible model) was better taken care of than this HR215K1HXA. The underneath was terrible, the Blade clutch assembly was very rusty, the springs had caked on SH&^T on them, looks like it had never had a water hose or compressed air taken...

The pictures made it look good, but up close it didn't look so good. Took three pulls to start. When the blade engaged it wasn't smooth. Some blue smoke initially came out when started. At $250 I would have to invest another $300 for worn out parts. Then do a compression check on the engine...

I went to look at a HR215K1HXA (Serial# MZAM-6233527), the guy wants $300 (would only go down to $250 after I asked). I asked if he is the original owner and he said no. He claims he bought 4 years ago and only performed routine maintenance during the time he owned the lawn mower. My guess is...

Hello Mark, thank you for the reply. The URL you provided only applies if the guard bracket fasteners are accessible and removable. Unfortunately the guard is impossible to remove in my case. The two fasteners are under the transmission drive pulley and impossible to remove. The only plausible...

I managed to get the transmission loose to rotate, but I see a way to get the drive belt off the transmission pulley.

Honda HRR216K10VKAA

Hello, I have a Honda HRR216K10VKAA (Serial# MZCG - 1431747) and I am having a heck of a time removing the transmission drive belt from the drive pulley on the transmission. If someone has any tips on this issue please send them my way, thanks. I have provided some pictures for reference.
