I just recently cleaned the carburetor to my Honda HRR2168VKA 21" Walk Behind. After putting it back together I stated it up and let it run for a minute. When shutting it down it now backfires. Any suggestions / help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Does it backfire every time you shut it down, or just occasionally?

If you haven't run the engine recently, go take off the air filter and see if there is gas sitting in the carb throat.

I just recently took the carb apart and cleaned it. There's no gas sitting in the carb throat. I would say it's done it 3 out of 5 times after starting it up and turning off.

Hmm, I'm not really sure what to tell you. Maybe your valves need adjusting??

Maybe you should come back May 16th when our Honda expert is back. He's on vacation right now: lawnmowerforum.com/honda-forum/36733-vacation.html
