Hard to find fuel with no ethanol in most places, and most of you know the problems with it in small gas engines, especially if left in the tank for a while. Honda has a new tool to help when troubleshooting possible stale fuel issues, a Fuel/Alcohol tester. Most engines will be fine with 10% or...

A few electric-start models of Honda mowers are being recalled. A possible defective stop switch may allow the engine/blades to continue to run even when the flywheel brake lever has been released. Only a limited number of mowers in the listed serial number ranges are subject to this recall, so...

Headed into the "shop" (hospital) tomorrow to have my right knee replaced. Will be off-line for a few days, but will be back 1/2 days in a week or so. Had the left knee one done four years ago, so I know what to expect (lots of physical therapy :mad:).

Remember this from Honda UK over the summer? Found some of the build photos today; yes, that's a 1,000 cc motorcycle engine and ATV tires!

When a Honda HRR216VKA lawnmower rolled off the assembly line in Swepsonville, N.C., last week, it represented more than simply another quality power product for Honda customers, it was the 30-millionth product to be built by the associates at Honda Power Equipment Manufacturing (HPE) since the...

For mowers with blades directly connected to the engine crankshaft, here's how to figure the feet-per-minute / blade tip speed: L = blade length in inches R = engine speed in RPM L x R / 3.82 So, a 21" blade, with an engine spinning at 3,100 rpm means: 21 x 3100 / 3.82 65,100 / 3.82...

Share the serial number (back of mower deck) with me and I'll get you some troubleshooting...

Here you are; to anyone else looking, these are JUST for HRR2168VKA; please confirm the "8" is on the data plate of your mower. Any other number (0-7) or 9 uses different procedures.

Prototype...what do you guys think? :smile::smile:

Honda issued a Service Bulletin back in 2006 on this model, but the issue was the blades would STOP even if the blade control lever was NOT released. It may be related to the problem you are having, but let's confirm. On the back of the mower deck is the full model name and serial number; looks...

Save yourself a lot of frustration and time and simply replace the whole carburetor with a new one, as the list price is only $15.08. Crazy, but some individual parts are indeed more expensive than a whole carburetor. The float (needle) valve alone is $18.76. :confused2: I'd also go ahead and...

1. Be absolutely sure the carburetor is fully disassembled and completely cleaned. A typical area that gets clogged is the emulsion tube that's installed under the main jet. Both the jet and tube must be removed and cleaned. Here's a link to a very detailed cleaning guide for Honda carburetors...

The K-code = version of a model. The higher the number, the more current the version. The HRX models are currently at version K4 (January, 2013); this update adds Autochoke, and introduces a lower cost electric start model. HRX units are available with the deluxe Cruise Control (hydrostatic)...

There is a version of the HRB without the blade control parts called the SDA; the blades are mounted to a holder/pulley which is held onto the crankshaft with a single bolt & Woodruff key. The parts used on the SDA changed a bit; here's a drawing of the early and late versions. Both come apart...

Is this just a Honda engine, or a Honda engine on a Honda mower? The Honda GXV140 engine was only used on belt-drive Honda HRM/HRB models mowers with a Xenoy "plastic" mower deck. To remove the engine, you must first remove the blades, blade holder, and blade control mechanism (where...

Was the mower parked last season with any fuel in the tank? Modern ethanol fuels don't last much more than 30 days before they can plug up the jets or other small openings in the carburetor. Sometimes, drain out the old fuel, add fresh fuel and a fuel system cleaner. If you can get it running...

Heard this before? It means the engine is running too lean (too much air and/or not enough fuel). Often, the problem is a clog or debris in the carburetor that is preventing fuel from flowing properly. Usually a jet is plugged, and either the carburetor must be completely cleaned or even...

Honda is offering a one-year extension of the full factory warranty for any new HRR or HRX mower bought between March 1 to May 31 2013. HRR models get 3+1 years, HRX models get 5 + 1 years. All you have to do is mail in the registration card and make sure you mark the date-of-sale correctly :wink:

You guys might remember the announcement last year about Miimo, Honda's robotic mower, that is now on sale in Europe. This week, Miimo is at the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens working in special demonstration area with a buried perimeter wire to define the turf to mow. Miimo is battery...

On the top of the back edge of the mower deck is the serial number; share that with me, and I can tell if you there's warranty left on the mower. If so, you can take it to a Honda dealer for inspection. If the problem is due to a factory defect, Honda will usually pay for the repairs. Here's...

Use of non-Honda parts won't "void your warranty." Technically and legally, nothing can void the warranty. You have a warranty when you buy the machine new, and it remains in effect for the duration specified. If a non-Honda part causes a failure or problem with the mower, repairs probably won't...

Your mower is part of the recall for Service Bulletin #65, "Roto-Stop Brake Plate Failure" Click on the three images below to see details: ............ The brake plate can break if the mower's blade strike an object with enough force to bend the crankshaft. Vibrations created by a bent...

The latest HRR models now have a Clip Director, although it is an "on-off" version, compared to the HRX's variable position control. Pay attention when shopping and be sure you are looking at the most current model. Side-by-side in heavy, tall, wet grass, it would seem the more powerful 190cc...

Ed: Part Number 54630-VE2-J00, list price $13.82. Actual retail price is set by each dealer. Many sell online (just google the part number) but you might pay less from a local dealer, since no shipping charges. I saw this cable selling online for $11, but had a $7 shipping charge. :mur...

Honda has released a Service Bulletin for the HRR216VKA and PKA mowers to resolve a "Engine Won't Restart" issue. ONLY mowers within the following range are affected: MZCG-8400001~MZCG-8669999. The symptom is an engine that may not restart after being shut off before the engine has been fully...

I have a two-year old HRX. It's about the best mower I've ever used, and I love the ability to mulch and bag (or in between) with a flip of the Clip Director knob. The cut quality is stunning on both the Fescue in the backyard and Bermuda in the front. Of course, I'm a little biased about Honda...
