Free HR214SX

picked up this little brute HR214SX for Free from a friends dad that was sending it to the curb
runs great - carb leaks like a water fountain, so I haven't, had a chance to see if how it mows
Came with the Bag and Mulch plug in place = has not been started in years
I just added gas and boom - it started on the 4th pull

I have 5 mowers now all but one was a curb find
so do I keep the 30+ yr old honda?
might sell it as the parts for the 3 of the others are identical and cheap - Toro, Craftsman, Troybilt
plus that The toro recycler Rwd with key start for free is a beast

I'd keep that before any of the others. Carb fix should be trivial, and this is what evolved into the Honda commercial line - they live forever!

Just bought a carb kit for it to fix it
I'm seriously impressed by the way its put together and the value$ of it even @ 30yrs old
as soon as I get it running I will do a side by side test Vs the Toro - the personal pace feature and speed of the toro are so far superior to any of the other mowers I have ever had but I've never had a Honda

New guy here, one year old Toro/GCV160 from Lowe's. Great until this spring when the infamous up/down throttle (choke) ruined my day. Very annoying. It even died once. I thought it was bad gas but reading here it looks like I have another problem. Has anyone rigged a manual choke?

I'm not new to the site but I am new to the Honda forum. First rider was a snapper, too big and I could not raise the blde high enough. second was a really old Sears Murray and I got a lot of help from that forumThose are all gone and now I have a Honda Harmony 38"which I guess is part of the first year for that mower. The serial number is 6000453. I bought this one from a local repair shop and it is cleaned up and tuned up so I hope my wallet has stopped bleeding green.
