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 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...

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 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 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?

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 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 HRX2174VKA general troubleshooting

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...

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'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.

All troubleshooting tips

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...
