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...
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...

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...

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
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
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 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 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?
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...
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 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?
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 Honda Harmony tiller that starts and run well, however, when attempting to till in my raised beds it seems to have very little power and bogs down.
I have replace the clutch (it needed it) I'm still experiencing lack of power to till up the garden. Can anyone give me some suggestions?
I have a GENUINE Hoda GX200 with a GENUIUNE Keihin carburetor that I need to do a thorough cleaning on. I have B&S 19061 and 19062 hollow ground "jet" screwdrivers.

I have a Honda hrx217 with a gcv190 engine that is blown, the mower otherwise is in excellent shape I have seen gcv160 and gcv170 used engines on marketplace, can I replace the 190 with either of those?
Hi guys, I was just given a troybilt push mower with a honda engine on it. They couldn't get it to run. I cleaned the carb but it will only start with starting fluid. So I took the carb off and cleaned
it again. Still won't start. One shot of starting fluid and one pull and it starts fine. The...
The ignition is stuck in the off position. It's been kind of flaky for a few years. But always worked, until now. I looked online for a replacement part, they don't make it any more and everyone, except eBay is out. Used are selling for $75 and up. Anyway, what I'm wondering is if anyone knows...
Got a batch of Honda's for cheap and one has engine problems which I know very little about. Took apart and looks good (to me) except the exhaust valve is real gummy and valve does not appear to seat down fully. Is this normal? Was trying to buy a used one on ebay. Assume the number stamped on...
Hi People I have a couple questions, so I had a 20 yo Honda HRR mower with the gcv160 engine, never burned any oil between changes never got a puff of smoke on startup unless I turned it upside down for some reason, deck was shot so I bought a new Honda HRN216 from HD with the GCV 170 engine...
I recently acquired a 7kw generator with a Honda GX390 engine on it, first Honda small engine I've worked on. Engine runs beautifully and generator works perfectly, for a couple of minutes anyways. Then I start getting oil coming out of the breather tube into the air filter box, which gets...
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...
I have a Ryobi pressure washer with a Honda motor. A GVC190. After it runs for about five minutes and it shuts off so I took the car apart, cleaned it cleaned out the fuel tank and cleaned the fuel lines and I also cleaned thegas tank cap to make sure it was venting properly
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...
Since it is hard to find these Honda gas mowers new nowadays, what would be the highest price you would consider paying for an HRX217 with the sought after hydrostatic drive? 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...
Hello, would anyone have a pic of properly installed springs on the rear discharge door/chute for this Honda HRX217TDA? Thanks I think the springs are OK but it looks like each one is over $50 so I don't want to mess it up. Thank you.
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...
I have been thinking about biting the bullet and upgrading to a Honda residential walk-behind lawn mower for myself and my Father, looking to purchase two lawn mowers. What would be the best place to buy something like this in Central Florida, brick-and-mortar or shipped from online? Would be...
I've got a hustler fastrac, model 928520, with a Honda gxv610 engine, unsure of hp. I was having issues with it not starting which eventually wound up being a bad wire going to the solenoid. Wife's uncle tore it apart to diagnose but passed away before it got repaired. Now I've got it put back...
Does anyone have any info or weblinks that detail if one can swap the hra214sx engine into a hr214sx deck/mower? This hra214 has the deck 1/2 speed shifter. Especially concerned if the self-propelled shaft on the engines are compatible.
I hope someone can help me, I’m struggling to re-connect the wires to my ignition switch on my Honda 1211 ! The three wires I have are White, Brown and Orange, could anyone tell me which wire connects to which terminal G L S M and B please ?
Many thanks in anticipation
I am continually having grass clipping in the discharge area when I have the mower in the mulching position.

The last sentence in the attached picture states
"In full mulch mode, the door is completely closed. All clippings will be finely mulched and directed...
pressure washer runs for about. 5 minutes, then shut down. I cleaned the car and cleaned the fuel tank blew out the fuel lines. There's no trash in there. I've cleaned the fuel cap to make sure it's venting properly, but still after all of that it is still shutting down after about five minutes...

Hello all,

I have a Hustler Zero Turn with about 1500 hours on it and recently the Honda engine has been leaking some oil from the bottom in the area of the vertical shaft. I tried to include a photo, but apparently "it's too large to process". In any event, I am assuming a seal or gasket has failed...

Does anyone have access to service / repair manuals for Honda mowers? I would be very thankful if someone could send me one for my Honda HRX426C mower!
Manualslib only contains owner manuals... also Google doesn't help.
A little Spring maintenance today while the Honda is still in the basement, sharpened and balanced the blades. Next, I’ll bring the snowblower down, and swap the two out, oil change once I get her up to the shop.
