Man thank you. In a snow storm in Greenville and could not get the generator running for anything. Cleaned the carb but still not getting gas. You showed me exactly what was clogged and tonight we have backup power. You are the man!

Excelent video. You actually indirectly saved my family's life, well . . . kinda. I used this video to fix/clean my Honda EU3000si generator and the carburator is VERY similar if not identical. I followed the video very carefully. I live in Puerto Rico and then Huricane María hit us (September 20, 2017). The whole island was out. Some areas were without power for 6 months. We didnt have power for 4 monts. That generator served us well. Refigerator(with freezer), lights, fans, TV, some kitchen appliances and even the washing machine! we ran it daily for nearly 8 to 12 hrs. None of our food spoiled. The refrigerator keep cold for the remainder of the 24 hrs. We even made ice that we sometimes shared with neighbours and threw over an extension cord a couple of times. I literally fixed the generator (which would not generate 120V and soon shut off) about a week before Huricane Irma hit us (María hit us about 2 weeks later). I had always wanted to thank you. I often think that people like you that selflessly show others how to fix or repair things are like angels or at least inspired by angels. Don't pay attention to the mean comments. Focus on the good comments. Nobody is perfect. In my experience none of the good ones are perfect, that is what makes them great! Thank you again

my g100 was no start but started w/ starter fluid. Took out the jets as you showed and cleaned it with kerosine and compressed air. Starts perfect now. Thank you

As FYI to others, I'm posting to confirm that stripping down the carburetor and cleaning out the jet orifice solved the starting problems on my Honda GCV160 engine. It would start and run [although barely] for a couple seconds then die. After this 30 minute procedure it fired up on a couple pulls and runs strong like new. Thank you Ray and good luck to others.

I was thinking of getting my Lawn mower engine serviced but after seeing your video and the clarity with which you have conveyed information ---- I will be doing my carburetor servicing myself -- thanks a lot.

thanks so much. have been having trouble with my Honda mower for ages. took the carby off a couple of times to no affect, but this time cleaned out the jet (with a small piece of fuse wire - didn't have anything else) and now it's like a new mower.

Thanks mate. Did it and it worked a treat. The mower hadn't run for 2 years and now runs a treat. Cheers from Australia!

Thanks for the video ray! Always helpful to see it done and have something to reference.

Thanks Ray, this is exactly what I needed to know for my Honda tiller service, it would only run with choke so I will clean all out as you have shown.

That was super helpful. Thank you that fixed my lawnmower and saved me time and money. I give it a 15 starts out of 5

Thanks for the video. Very helpful. Got the old mower going again after clearing a blockage up stream of the main jet and replacing the needle (fuel initially flooding out the overflow).

Thanks for the video, lawnmower is running again, and it saved me a trip to the repair shop

Awesome explanation that made daunting first-timer here feel pretty confident. Thanx

Great video, needed to see why my mower wasn't running smoothly. Watched this video and successfully removed, cleaned and re-installed my first carb. ever!!!!! More comfortable working on computers than cars, but this video walked me through things step by step.....great work!

Thanks, this was valuable. Since it was your first, like any first attempt, plenty of room for improvement. I'm a teacher so here are some unsolicited teaching tips. 1. Make a list of steps first. 2. Decide how you are going to show each step. 3. Show each and every step- don't skip reassembly, it's as important as disassembly 4. Show from a working point of view and then get close to parts-- seeing is believing as they say. 5. Start at the beginning- as in here's the mower or whatever the carb was attached to and here's how to get it off. 6 Get a desk light or some nice concentrated source (preferably 2 -one from each side) so there are no shadows or black holes. Good luck.

I really hate when they show how, they don’t show how- It’s all in the details for someone who doesn’t know. That’s why we are watching! I really hope your videos got better if this was your first.

Thanks Ray,Now I understand where all the bits are and how to access them, I will attempt this tomorrow. Mower would not start today, changed plug, have good spark so figure I may have some gunk in carb. Not been serviced for years so hopefully this will solve my problem.

I just stated do small engine repair for others and been having ppl bring by more and more Honda engine ty for this video .i could really use more videos on Honda small engine repair.thank you and God bless

Thanks for the vid. Not the same model honda, but combining your info about the specific jets with another vidi was able to take care of it. Cheers!

Thanks for the very clear explanation of the parts of the carburetor. Now I need a video to tell me how to remove the carburetor from the engine. Everyone seems to skip this.

Awesome Ray! and greetings from Australia. Simple step by step method.

Helped me fix my problem, thank you sir for taking time to make this video

Thanks Ray. Your diagnosis and solution were correct. The engine runs like it should. Your step by step approach was easy to follow. I used your suggestion of using the cleaning tool which welders use. Perfect!

great video, I subscribed. I am working on 3 different carbs now. They are pretty tricky but Im learning a lot. I love working on small engines. Good video thx Ray

Have powerwasher with Honda GCV160 engine. Owned two seasons. Would not start this year. After cleaning carb, it started first pull, but would not run without open choke. Confirming that cleaning the jet as indicated in this video fixed the problem. Just the right amount of detail. Thanks Ray.

Very helpful; easy to follow. Thank you very much.

Thanks man!! My first time but I feel like a pro.great "how to"video!

worked a treat thanks

Good video and thank you because I couldn't find another video that talked about the problem I was having: The engine only ran on choke and would die as soon as I pushed the lever off of choke. So now I know what to do to fix it, I wish I knew this earlier because I ordered a new carburetor, gas tank, fuel filter, gas tank strainer and all new carb to engine gaskets well anyway thanks again

I just saved $75 by watching your video. It was an easy fix thanks to you.

Thanks Ray. Great video. I'm heading out to the shop now!

Very helpful thanks for the info!

Much appreciated, Ray. I was just given a Honda HRM215 mower but it won't start. If I spray a little starter fluid into the air intake it will rev up for a second or two but then dies. I figure the carb must be dirty and clogged. Your video takes the mystery out of the cleaning process. Thanks again.

thank you for sharing with us, i love to do this. It could save me $$$$, and once again, thank you for your Video. Tom

Ray, great job! My brother is a small engine repair guy, but he is a couple of states away, and I need visual references. I did everything you showed, and my Honda is running like a charm. I agree with Hoser104, getting the carb out with the linkage was the most frustrating part.

Excellent video. I have the same motor on a power washer and it only runs with the choke out. I'm going to try this right now. Also - thanks for not rambling on and on like so many of these videos. You did a great job of staying on task and keeping the chatter down to what is really important. I do hope you will post more videos.

Thank you for great vieo . Even 1st video . Good job . Thanks

Great video Ray. I have two Honda HRR216 mowers, both recently purchased on Craigslist. One is nearly new and the other is not running. I purchased the non-running mower for $20 and as a diy project for resale. I do believe it's going to be a dirty carburetor. This carburetor is simple compared the carb that comes equipped with Honda FG110 4-cycle Tiller. Thanks for the video.

Good explained !. Thanx

Thanks, I hope this will work for my lawn mower too!

Thank you, very calmly n Nicely Explained:) yup thank you for educating.

Looks good- I like your intro!

my distribution tube above the main jet fell out with the main jet. I hope I know which side of it is up

Glad to help you !

Thank you!

my carb is showing raw gas in the intake neddle valve on the float seems to be ok please help

GREAT but I have a GXC HR-214 and need to know about how to repair the Idle Jet on top of the carb. Now on most the models I noticed they have a brass jet & screw cap/plug mine on the other hand has a all in one PLASTIC jet & cap which broke in to pieces when I tried removing it. I have not been able to find the part online and wondered if it is replaced with a common brass 2 piece type..? can you help me Plzz...ty

good job

I am having trouble getting the jet to come out. I used the small flat head screwdriver to loosen the jet - it loosened just fine. I used an allen wrench to push the jet out from the other end. But when I turned the carb over to shake the jet out, it would not come. It is stuck - I assume corroded with dry gasoline. Can you suggest something I can do free the jet so it will come out?

Thanks Ray. Great Video.

Ray, Would like to see fixing the recoil starter rope when it breaks. Especially on the Honda 3000i. Very common problem. Real pain to figure out.

You are a life saver! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us Honda lawn mower owners.

you missed one of the jets, it's located under the idle screw and is the one that most commonly gets clogged as it's smaller

He also didn't remove the brass tube that has small holes in it - its under the main jet.

Nice.

Hey, great video. One question, isn't there another tube under the main jet that needs to come out. I've seem this on other videos, maybe this carb is different?

hi ray im rebuilding a qr 50 84 model wiring is up to s..t. need help assp

Ray where the hell can I find the model number on my Honda GCV190LA S3C carburetor? I would like to just replace it but I cannot find a model number. Apparently there is more than one possibility.

You left out the one thing I wanted to know. When you screw the jet back in, does it go all the way until seated?

Andy. Yes, seat the jet all the way. Snug should do.

thank you

I'm going to attempt cleaning the carburetor on a 1980's Honda EM500, hopefully that will stop it from surging.

Thanks for the video, but why did you skip removing the jets? That seems to be the most critical part of the process.

Gday Ray, I have a Sanli mower that I'm about to take carby off. The motor is like a cheaper copy of a Honda. The carby is identicle to your Honda. Thanks mate, looks heaps easier now. Mine is running way to rich and doesn't seem to have a mixture screw.

You’ll get better at tis with time , the emulsion tube on some carbs come out .

Good poop, man.

Easy to fallow guy

the motor on my pressure washer is revving when i pull the trigger how do you fix revving problems?? check my video out its under "pressure washer revving" thanks

this float bowl is made to collect all crap in the bottom that can't get out of the higher drain plug. first gas that goes through next season will push it into the jets. thats why your fixing it.

Thanks For Watching! And Glad To Help!

Yes you would need to remove and I will be making a new video on how to install and reinstall one in this upcoming week.

There is also a jet under the Low Idle Speed Adjusting Screw. The plastic idle jet plug pulls out without threads. Also be advised there is a Fuel Inlet Needle under the main jet. Once the main jet is unscrewed the Fuel Inlet needle should drop right out. Several very small holes in the needle could be clogged, especially if gas with ethanol was left to do its dirty work over the winter months.

One will be coming soon .. Sorry I lost the account awhile back and just recovered it today ! There will be plenty more videos coming soon.

@briansmobile1 Thanks And Yea My Kid Made It For My Channel..He Is Good With All That Stuff.

Did not take the other jet out screw driver inside the carb and push the other jet and clean that one too

i already cleaned the carburetor thoroughly

Bon

You never pulled out the jet dude, you just pulled out the jet orfice! The actual jet is under the orfice and has to be pushed out from the intake port.

Tell us where and how to get the carburetor out. Fuck.

bad idea to use tip cleaners, minature files

too slow and methodical

I will be making a new video on how to install and reinstall one in this upcoming week.
