Hello. The blades hit a solid brick and the central bolt broke releasing the two blades. Very scary. See picture. I cannot find where to purchase a new bolt (? and washer) to reattach these two blades. Yes, the remains of the bolt will first need extraction. When I search websites for the...

I have a Cub Cadet LXT-L46 Fab with the Honda GXV630 engine and about 9 months ago I replaced the starter and ever since then more often than not, the starter will just click, click, click and nothing happens and finally it kicks in and spins the engine. Upon a close inspection I realized that...

Morning all. Been repairing mowers as a hobby off and on for aver 15 yrs but I am stumped with my own mower. The mower is a 20+ yr old (~2004) Honda HRM215K2 hxa which was down to 1 speed (slow). I changed the drive belt and drive cable. For the first 2 mows it worked great (no tranny issue I'm...

A non-starter this morning, (after some months unused) and after fresh fuel and a quick carb clean: The engine starts smoothly, and seems to run great. After a minute or two, it starts to cough, splutter and backfire, but mostly doesn't stall. Then after a few seconds (10? 20?) it then bursts...

I have a Honda HRR2167VXA mower that has recently developed a bad vibration. The blades have been replaced, so I do not suspect that to be the issue. The vibration is worse when the mower is started up, and it smooths out some when the blade is engaged. The self propelled drive seems to be...

Hello all, I have a Hustler mini FasTrak 42" with a Honda GXV530 twin that I bought new 20 years ago. I started having trouble with the starter last year. Had to bang on it to get it to work. I finally installed a new starter and solenoid combo. Now when I try to start it keeps blowing fuses...

Hi, I have a Honda HRN216VKAD, with the GCV170 engine bought new in the box from Home Depot on line this year. The engine model is GJAUA 2361122MY03 with a punch mark on the data plate and blue dot so the recalled camshaft on these engines was done I assume at the factory, Runs great, it leaks...

Been a great motor. Drained tank end of last season. This season it starts fine but wants to backfire some through carb and blew air filter off. Runs well without air cleaner. Suggestions.

I am at my wits end. I cannot get the RPM on this Honda GCV160 to go down. I have adjusted the idle screw and the governor arm. I can't get it to reduce. Here is what I'm talking about

Hi everyone.. I just went solo and bought from my old boss the equipment I've used for the last 2-3 yrs. Long story short.. Honda gc690 GCAPH TXA2 Ser#2023678000000 the engine starts and runs but the power is not good...I was at the power wash store (not for the power problem) when one of the...

I am looking for advice on a Honda HRX217K5VKAA mower (manufactured 2-14-2016) with a dead engine. The engine has no compression – I did a compression test, checked to see if a valve was stuck open (both opened and closed fine) and have reached the conclusion it has a broken rod. I removed the...

All, I have a Honda GC160 on my pressure washer. There are three (3) pieces of tubing: tank to pump, pump to carb, & pump to crankcase. Before I drive 30-40 miles for tubing, any idea what the tubing sizes are? 3/16, 1/4. metric? Thanks in advance

11A-A22J766 mower. Engine is a Chinese Honda clone 140cc. I cleaned carb w/ USC = no joy. New carb installed = no joy. Valve lash good at .005 Int & Exh. I can only get a 3 second run - seems moderately strong. Sounds like fuel delivery, eh? Fuel line flows adequately out of tank. Governor...

I have a Toro mower with the Honda GCV160LAO S3B NH1 engine. Recently I've begun having problems with it running and staying running. It will start, the engine then begins surging non-stop, then the engine stops after a few minutes. I have replaced the thermowax pin, cleaned the carb (jet and...

I have a Honda GCV160 engine that smokes at start up. The oil was a bit over filled. Not terribly. I fixed that and it still smokes a bit at start up. It goes away after 5 to 10 seconds. Passed a leak down test with flying colors. A little bit of air leaking out the oil fill tube. The valves...

1. When I use the mulching option (Honda Plug inserted etc.), I find that the mower cuts normally. 2. However, when mowing, once awhile, I note discharged clumps of cut grass behind my path. 3. When looking beneath mower deck, I see grass couple inches thick, sticking to most all of the...

I mowed my lawn as usual and put away my Honda mower (model Owner's Manual HRN216VKAA). A week later when attempting to start the mower the cord was difficult/almost impossible to pull. Definately not fast enough to start the mower. I checked for gas in the oil and none found. I pulled the...

I have a gx620 on my Hustler. It's over 20 years old. It started a oil leak this spring. With mowing season over I want to take care of it. My question is, seeing that the gx620 is no longer available, should I try to find a replacement engine or have the present engine repaired. I see there is...

Morning all. My issues continue with the HRM215HXA. Resolved the high revving during witch I had to reset the timing, I had done it before but this time I could not find the timing mark on the crankshaft. Even had my daughter look. Did the TDC during the compression stroke thing but now it runs...

I picked up a HondaHRX217K6 with a bent crank, looking at E-bay and Amazon I see the cranks listed for $26.99 and up to over a $100 and they list them as compatible with the Honda GVC and the Harbor freight Predator 196cc engine. Any recommendations before I order one?

Tried to see reviews on this model .. no luck or expired. This one was used once.. $850. I have a 1998 JX75. … had since new ..still going semi strong… new blade clutch, cables etc… rear brass bearings not so good- tranny so so. Is this a good replacement? Should I look for a cheaper alternative?

I need new wheels for my old mower, but none of the listings I've seen online mention my model number. They all look like the right wheels, but for all I know the size could be just marginally larger. Are the newer model parts generally backwards compatible?

Honda 5 hp EM 5000 SX generator won't run. Pressure washed while running two weeks ago, left running when complete for awhile then shut off. Next day it wouldn't start. Appeared to have no spark. Replaced ignition module and plug which produce a spark but somewhat faint. With starting fluid...

I know this is a lawn mower repair forum, but I figured I would try my luck. I bought a used Karcher G2500VH pressure washer with no water pump. Using a caliper, I found that the shaft from the Honda GCV 160 engine is exactly 20mm (a hair over 3/4"). I haven't been able to find this water...

I swapped out the Kawasaki FDV590 water cooled for a new Honda GSX 630 air cooled. Everything runs like it should after some effort. However with the hood on, I am thinking air circulation may be too limited as the hood is a total enclosure configuration. There are vents on the sides of the...

I had one years ago and sold it to my neighbor of which she gets great use of it but I sometimes regret selling it when I...

Engine idles fine at low idle. Give it throttle and it steadily surges. Engage the blade PTO and the surging stops. Pulling a plug wire off each cylinder causes a miss and stops the surging until replaced. Both cylinders identical effect. This is what I've done: -Disassemble and clean carb...
