You had have two of what? Anyway, if you need to replace the exhaust valve guide they are available. However, in my experience with old GXV120's, the intake valve to intake guide clearance is usually in service specifications and doesn't need replacing. Now the exhaust valve to exhaust guide...

Hello Steve: It really depends on the lawn mower model and/or the VIN number on the engine itself. For example the GXV120 I rebuilt some 3 years ago was attached to a HR214SX. From what I found on (boats dot net), only the exhaust valve guide is available. Valve seals were never a original part...

Never-Mind. I used my Vice and hammered the sleeve on with a 3/8 drive, 10mm 6-point long socket. Second picture shows the results.

Hello All, I recently bought a new Roto-Stop cable for my HR214 and now I have a question about attaching the lower part of the cable to the cable bracket (beneath the engine). It seems that this lower portion is attached via a compression sleeve and I just need some suggestions on how this...

Ponz: HR215's are bad ass lawn mowers. I have one (HR215 SX) and I have found no negatives on this mower. Let's see some pictures !!! :)

mahaffeymj: Here are the bearings pressed in.

I will post a picture when the bearings arrive and when I get the bearings pressed into the rear adjusting bracket.

mahaffeymj: You can't go wrong with the NSK bearings. The only problem is you will need to stop at the 3.0 mm point because those bearing are not the "flange" type.

I either used a Large socket or cups from a ball joint press kit and a very large vise. By the way I found these sealed bearings that could work in the rear adjuster bracket. I already pressed out one bearing per the rear adjuster. I am going to pressed out the other bearing per the rear...

A HR215 with a GCV160? If this is true, then that is not the original engine. The original engine for that series of Honda lawn mower is a GXV140. Is the HR215 a HX, SX or PX version? This quote "Honda GCV 160 just broke/seized after a loud noise" most likely the piston rod end cap broke and...

Rivets: Man, I did it the hard way. Realizing that the pulley is in two parts, this technique you mentioned is the correct way and pretty much the only and logical way to do it. Thank you for setting my mind right, Sir. :)

Yes I did, do you need to know how I did it?

I really don't understand what is all the fuss about design comments? The GCV series engine is very reliable for what it is designed for (Domestic use). Even if a person has moderate skills, maintenance can be performed easily and major repairs can be tackled. The GCV series wasn't designed for...

Somewhat reliable Shaft straightening devices cost (probably) $150 or higher. The cost of a replacement Crank Shaft (depending on the GCV engine) ranges from $25 to $60 (give or take a few cents). I will always oped for the Crank Shaft replacement. :)

Richie: Bent PTO repairs the likes of you are describing are rarely successful for the long term because if the PTO is off by the slightest that will put too much load on the Aluminum oil sump shaft area. The only reliable option is to replace the Crank Shaft. The_Implication: Looks like the...

Ryopilot: I would rebuild it. It's similar to the two speed transmission that's on a HR214. I rebuilt mine and it's not that tough. I used Lucas 80W-90 gear oil. Just look up the parts/diagram on boats.net and buy all the seals. Make sure you measure all the original seals and don't throw them...

We need proof, We need pictures of the tear-down and rebuild. We need a video of the GCV160 running afterwards !!!!! :)

I would say the 31105-Z0Y-922 part number from Boats.net.

The Video link Scrubcadet10 provided is solid from a DIY perspective.

The_Implication: Do you gots da skills to do this crank shaft replacement ? :)

On the cheap yes. Drain the Oil, turn it upside down, remove the bolts, remove the oil sump carefully, scrap off the old gasket, clean real good. put the oil sump back on carefully so that you don't jack-up the position of the governor arm, then seat all the bolts and torque to (7.2 - 10.1...

Look s like oil is leaking thru the oil sump gasket. I would do a rebuild if you are very mechanically incline. If you don't know what you are doing or all thumbs with tools you are going to F it up. Or send it to me and I will rebuild it for out including rebuilding the Carburetor.

BobTy Post some detailed pictures of the problem area. I have rebuild two GXV120 engines in the past two years.

This gentleman's video's on the GCV series engines are very detailed and precise. These videos (upwards of 30 videos) are a must for anyone. I learned a lot from these videos.

I'm in Texas

Did you take care of the GCV160? Meaning routine maintenance? If you do not know what you are doing, send the GCV160 to me and I will have a look at it.

alexkrivetz: Could you take some detailed pictures of your Award Winning Honda HR21 SXM Model and post them on this thread? And perhaps a short video of it running.

1 Miiiilllion Dollars !!!. Kidding of course. In my opinion, $200 if the engine doesn't smoke like a Choo choo Train and $100 if it does smoke like a Choo choo Train.

Never heard of a HR215HJ.

I'm surprised you didn't know what that hole was for, wise guy.

James: That is a vague and broad question you are asking, as well as confusing.

taongisurvivor: In those pictures is the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system. What goes in the "Hole" is this rubber hose. This is the hose that is labeled #3 in the picture. There is no seal, just some silicone spray on the larger end to force it into the provision. I've performed many...

hppants: I foresee a GCV160 tear-down and rebuild in your future.

I found (in the last year) great deals on Used Snap-On Torque Wrenches (Ft-Lb) 3/8" and 1/2" drives on Ebay. GearWrench Torque Wrenches are good as well. If you are young and plan to have your Honda lawn mower for the rest of your life, why not buy a good quality Torque Wrench. I also bought a...

Probably Manufactured between 2018 and 2019. If you absolutely need the date of manufacture send an Email to Honda Power products (the Email address is somewhere on there Home page) and provide the Model/Serial number in your request.

Mike: Donny Boy show a person the how to do it (Donny Boy makes very informative Videos) and robert@honda show the theory behind the Autochoke system :)

Aaron: Also see this Post by our Friend "robert@honda" https://www.lawnmowerforum.com/threads/honda-autochoke-faq.28941/

Aaron, I need some information here. 1. Take a picture of the Model/Serial number tag 2. While cold and take a picture of the throttle side of the engine and a close up picture of the air filter cover with the cover off and filter out.

Rich, here are pictures of my latest finished GXV120 rebuild.

Show me some detailed pictures for example front, back and sides Or send your GXV120 and I will rebuild it for you. Send me a private message and we can talk about the rebuild. I have performed two GXV (one 120 and one 140) rebuilds and my rebuilds are not just "Slapped" together. It is a...

Hey A-A-Ron, either there isn't enough fuel getting to the Carburetor or the Magneto needs to be re-adjusted. For the Magneto, check with a .016 inch feeler gauge.

That lawn mower was probably manufactured between 1990 and 1993 and the three speed transmission is Not a Hydro-static transmission.

Probably between 2018 and 2019.

Can you elaborate on the phrase "replacing carb".

Hello hppants: Set the valve lash to the following. Intake valve lash: (0.006 +/- .002 inch) Exhaust valve lash: (0.008 +/- .002 inch) Then perform another compression test and report back. Here is a procedure to follow as well.

Carol, take a picture of the carburetor side of the lawn mower enough so that the cables are in the shot. By the way, are you a chick? Also, take a close up picture of the identification tag that shows the model/VIN.

klnh3: What exactly do you mean by this statement? "I've been having trouble with my Honda HRA216 bucking really badly when I pull the starter rope." From a engineering perspective that spring and assembly is there to advance and retard timing throughout the RPM operating range. So I don't...

If you still have the Users manual for your HRX217 look for the Drive cable adjustment section and follow the procedure for maintenance adjustment.

I'm actually in the process of prepping my HR214 deck. I'm going to use Rustoleum grey primer on the areas I took down to the alumnium and Rustoleum professional enamel gloss light machine gray color.
