Save yourself more hassle. Go to a Honda dealer and buy a new carburetor. That will sort you out. You might want to buy the various gaskets and auto choke butterfly and the wax plugmauto choke doohickey.
its dishesrtening to hear about all of these failures. Most folks don’t have a backup mower. When buying a new mower. It makes sense to fill with oil and gas and just run it, let it cool down and run it again. Seems like this compression shows up after a few uses. Such a lousy situation.
Supposedly Honda can check to see if your mower has the problem part. If you buy a new mower, you can call them, give the serial number and they will tell you if your mower needs to be serviced. If yes, then either you wait or return and try again.
My HRX217HYA is about 6 years old. I live and 6000ft. I know there are a few plugs for this mower. BPR5ES and BPR6ES. Would either do better at my altitude?
There is a high altitude carb jet for this mower. Recommended by Honda for above 5000ft. Local power equipment Honda dealer said it...
