GX160 Carb amzn.to/3qTcOuw
Today we are Working on the Honda WT30 Dewatering pump. This is a 3 inch pump powered by a Honda GX160. The issue with this Honda GX160 is that it only runs with the Choke on. At first I thought it was a fuel related Problem. This video series is to go about troubleshooting to see what the issue is. Post your comments on what you think maybe the issue.
bad carb?
low compression ?
valve issue ?
this will be the same if you have a gx120,gx160,gx200, or any other honda clone engine.

If your engine simply won't run the quickest way to get somewhere is spray a flammable into the air intake like carb cleaner or starting fluid and if it still won't even fire for a second you have no spark. If It does fire then your having a fuel issue.. disconnect the fuel line from the carb and make sure its flowing out nicely. If not then most likely just need to clean the carb, its not difficult just take photos and remember exactly how everything came apart, note which side up or down on any little parts you remove.. stay organized and don't lose anything, Goodluck :)

@deankay4434 Год назад

Same for 2023 cars & trucks. The fuel filler cap lets air in! The amount they let out from pressure "Does" change. Stamped on cap or sticker, "Caution" May spray fuel was seen on 1960-70's cars. Carbon canister allow air to vent to atmosphere, but capture fuel. The pressure out was 1 PSI for decades then changed to 2 PSI so if tank pressure got to high. 10+ years ago, inputs from timer, air temp and time driven requires "Engine-Off, Natural Vacuum" helps the fuel tank pressure sensor sends info to the PCM 20 minutes after its shut off and eating dinner. This detects tiny leaks, not small or large. Caps have to be tested and aftermarket caps with Keys to keep that expensive fuel from being siphoned, all fail. It take run time and temp before these test are run, so not the next day but still! DK, ASE Master Tech since 78, retired

Found my answer. Watch the video. When he unscrews the inner nozzle tube inside the carburetor, (where he takes a flat screwdriver and unscrews the post) I had taken carb cleaner to the fitting, and it seemed cleaned - but it wasn't. It was partially obstructed. Just look through it onto the light and see if yours is plugged too. Then I found that inside the nozzle tube was slightly plugged too. I sprayed carburetor cleaner through the hole and found that it comes through the carburetor but could not see where the exit point was from. I later surmised that it is coming between the two choke plates inside the carburetor. (there's two plates plied together, not one. There was no way I could clean between those plates with carb cleaner. So I re-assembled the carburetor and found that I was on the right track. It ran fairly rough in the "run" position, but ran. Tomorrow I am going to get a chemical cleaner such as sea foam or something and try to chemically dissolve the rest of the deposits between those two plates as I use it for tomorrows work. This is given that everything else that you can find is "good." don't forget to take the float off and clean the needle valve, and spray all the fuel ports clean inside the carburetor. Then use fuel stabilizer in the gas from then on.

I have an old Honda GX200 motor and it wont run off of choke for more than 5-10 minutes of riding; cleaned the engine, carburetor, and even the gas tank & bowl; it idles fine, but wont give me full gas “sometimes”; the throttle can give me a little bit of rev, but too much rev and it will shuf off. Any ideas?

@toyotabobcat 3 года назад

No shit, my motor would not idle. Took the carb off 10 times at least, finally used silicone gasket maker on all faces and made the nuts extra tight. F#*k me first pull and runs and idles like a new motor, so I think if you need the choke to keep it running, it's a gasket leak as long as all the fuel jets are clean and the governor is set right. Cheers to all the comments to give me ideas of what my problem was.

@JNC1973 Год назад

@@SunriseLAW That's what mine's doing too. I'll put the choke on and start it and if i'm lucky enough to keep the engine running for longer than 10 seconds after i turn off the choke the engine surges like it wants to put out some good power but then after a surge in power it wants to stall out and die when you try to give it gas. I don't think they're supposed to do this lol I've never had this problem before it's just a pain in the ass to try to pin point the problem. I played with the brass air/fuel screw on the side of carb and that didn't solve the problem and then i made sure all the carb gaskets were on properly and it still didn't work after that so now i'm kinda scratching my head wondering what to check next. Maybe i need to take carb off completely and take it apart to see if it needs a cleaning and maybe replace fuel line cause i know there is a slight leak on fuel tube but i put a slab of Flex Tape over the little tear in the tube where it was leaking from to stop the leak but who knows if that is the what's causing it or not. There's so many different things it could be and i am running out of patience trying to figure it out lol. Did you ever get your stalling issue fixed other than keeping the choke on 1/4 of the way ?

Don't beleive this model has adjustments

@BillSikes. 2 года назад

@@kendogg619 Yeah they do, but they're designed in such a way that you can't remove them without filing off the tab that restricts any movement, the only way round this is to cut it off with a dremmel

Another channel is telling me it has to do with ethanol

People need to realize that one persons problem is not the same for everyone. In this situation the cylinder sleeve was scored causing low compression

I have problems with my engine it only runs with choke on idk what is going on with it we changed the carb already

@JJsiahMoto 7 лет назад

Cj marcel Try replacing the gaskets. Put new gas and fuel stabilizer also.

@aaronvenzor8340 7 лет назад

need to inlarge jet as the engine is broke in it needs more fuel that's way it run better with choke. take jet out and drill one size bigger that stock size. that will fix you up.

That boy isn't getting enaugh gas

@AutodidactEngineer 4 года назад

My boy goes nuts when I open the choke compeletly which leads me to believe there is a problem with air fuel ration

@TestDontguess 4 года назад

Nope that wasn’t the issue

@norcal8718 Год назад

Dude it's not the fuel cap 🙄 You should be able to take off the fuel cap off without causing the carburetor to leak, that's just common sense. Have you ever seen any other carburetor leak every time you take the fuel cap off I mean that's ridiculous.

@norcal8718 Год назад

Vacuum leak

Ya know you tell people that about a dirty carb, but also too, people needs to know that its not always a dirty carb. If a muffler gets clogged up, it to can act like a dirty carb aswell. If a muffler has a screen over the exhaust hole next to a dirty tank or a clogged fuel filter, or a pitcock.

My Wen 3800i states to clean the spark arrestor screen every 100 hours with a wire brush. More burnt dirt coming out to clog the system than going in (i.e. no "muffler filter" to replace)
