Don't destroy your Honda GX engine by making this common mistake. I think that Honda has a slight design flaw in their GX general purpose engines! Too many people are confused by the oil dip stick. If you think the oil level is good, think again!

Please note that Steve references the GX engine in this video, Jim. I have a pressure washer with a Honda GCV190 engine and it does not need the oil to come to the top of the fill hole. On the link below reference bottom of page 7 to top of page 8 for oil level instruction and reference page 3 for diagram of dipstick and explanation of upper and lower limit marks. This also applies to the GCV160 and GSV190. I don’t know about others. Personally, I think it is bad practice to put hatch marks on the upper part of the dipstick, above the full level mark. It threw me off, hence the research I have done. cdn.powerequipment.honda.com/engines/pdf/manuals/00X37Z8B0023.pdf

Seems like someone would clarify that not every engine is this way and make sure to check the specs on your pressure washer.

Get a commercial diesel generator that makes double what you need and don't look back. Remember to balance the load on each winding of the generator. If a generator is rated for 10,000 watts, that is not 10,000 all on one circuit/winding. That is rated for 5,000 watts on each winding for a total of 10,000 watts. 👍

@@giggiddy It's cheaper overall to buy 1 over-rating generator than to go through "a few" smaller ones. 🤷🏻‍♂️ You know? They say "buy once, cry once" as it relates to quality purchases that are more expensive than cheap designed-obsolescence China specials. I'm not familiar with the rigs you're mentioning so I don't feel comfortable giving an opinion about them since it'll be based on ignorance which isn't good. It may be possible to build your own generator out of one if the engine has enough power to turn the power head. Source a rig that has a burned out component but a good engine, and source a larger alternator power head and mate it up to the engine with a custom fabbed up adaptor plate for the bell housing and a coupler for the shafts. Diesels are just great for generator use because their fuel never goes bad. They have lots of torque to twist that rotor under heavy load. They are overbuilt, easy to govern, and there's not much to go wrong on a mechanically injected engine. Plus, you can even run it on waste veggie oil for off-grid living which is very cheap to do. Buy a few large heating oil tanks or a few underground tanks (preferably), go get free veggie oil from restaurants, filter it, set up the heating and filtration system for the veggie tank side, and then have 1 tank of biodiesel, pump diesel, or non-taxed off-road diesel or heating oil. You start and warm up an engine on diesel or biodiesel, and then once it's hot and the WVO tank and lines are hot and thinned out too by their heating system, you switch to the oil. Then you shut back down on diesel by running it for 5-10 minutes on plain diesel. You could make your own biodiesel out of the free veggie oil for that too! :) The fuel would be nearly free with the only costs being the chemicals needed to refine the veggie oil to make the biodiesel. With a bit of up front investment, a solar bank with a diesel generator can give you basically free electricity for years with only occasional repair and maintenance costs. :) It's amazing.

Great point Steve! One more good point is that on so many makes and models of small engines that have these threaded dipsticks is whether to read the oil level with the dipstick removed then just reinserted just resting on the threads or to thread the dipstick back all the way back in, then remove it and read the level mark that way? I have old Briggs engines that require threading them all the way back in and some newer ones that do not. My Kawasaki engines all require not threading the dipstick back in but to remove, wipe, then reinsert without screwing back down, then remove again and read. I wonder why that Honda GX engine didn't have a low oil shutdown feature?

Always filled up them up level with the cap opening exactly like you show in this video. Same deal with 1950s era 6BH, 8BH, etc. engines, no dipstick, you simply fill 'em up. Good job.

I started mowing lawns at 12 years old in the late 70's. Back then all the mowers, roto tillers, etc. Only had a plug. Fill til oil just starts to run out and your done! Then they came out with the stupid dipstick. Trouble is when you add oil in the dipstick hole you can't get an accurate reading for about 10 minutes. The dipstick tends to sweep oil off the tube sides.

My Victa whipper snipper has the same Honda type gx25 engine. Fortunately I read all my gardening engine manuals. Also change the oil more frequently as it has such a tiny 80 ml capacity so if any crud/metal shavings happen, it'll be flushed sooner than leaving it in and risk damaging the cylinder/pistons. It purrs and still runs like a dream over 6 years and fairly frequent use.

My biggest complaint on Honda Push Mowers is the lack of a Drain Plug. You must tip the mower on end after warm up to drain the oil. Try to catch it! For those of us who do use the Dipstick, note that they are NOT to be screwed in but just rest on the top of the engine hole when checking. The HRM21 mower engine I just worked on holds .35 litre, when full. That is about 355 ml. Some engines require the dipstick to be screwed in to check oil level.

Is that oil check rule specific to the GX line, or all/most honda small engines? Love your vids Steve. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and great delivery.

Great tip. I wonder how many extra engines Honda has sold by adding that dip stick? Always remember, there's a reason for everything.

@mannys9130 2 года назад
Idk, I think Honda's point of the stick was to make visibility better so that people can see where the level is when low. How can you guesstimate how much you'll need to get to add if you can't see the current oil level? The instructions say to fill it to the threads, and it's assumed that people read the directions or at the least look at the clear pictograph on the side when spending hundreds of their dollars on a piece of equipment. That may be too common sense for the public though. Lololol
