Fixing a Honda GX/Honda Clone engine that is idle surging. If your Honda GX won't start or surges, it's very likely the carburetor is clogged. Watch how to clean the carburetor and fix your Honda GX Engine! I'm working on a Honda GX200 but this will be similar for all GX series and clones.

Btw if you don’t have access to an ultrasonics cleaner, a can of carb cleaner with a straw will work! Spray through each hole until it comes out the hole clean

What about fuse in spark plug boot?

@KeyserSoze5421 Год назад

Superb video, I have a GX200 which is poor running, it will start and run sometimes but will just cut out at full revs, then either be poor at starting or will start again no problem and run for a bit, then do the same, just cutting out at full revs. It was also poor at idling, and when you went from full revs to idle it would just die. I removed the carb and cleaned the main jet, but I didn’t clean the rest of the carb, so you think that could possibly be the issue, that it requires and much more in-depth clean? I checked the valve clearances and they’re good, it’s also sparking and seems to be sparking well.

@CleverFix Год назад

Yes the carb has tiny passages inside of it that need to be cleaned, so it has to be submerged in an ultrasonic cleaner. The jet is definitely not enough in most cases. Hope you got it fixed.

Thank you, this will be helpful. Question, I have the same powerfist engine and less than one year old. Recently it started surging but I ignored it. I thought it needed an oil change, filter clean or fuel was low. After doing all of that, now it doesn’t start at all, or if it does it dies after a few seconds. I assume it is the carburetor. Question is how often do I need to clean the carburetor and is it normal for it to do this less than a year in service.

@CleverFix 11 месяцев назад

Yes it can happen very quickly unfortunately, depending on how often it's used. When the engine is not used the gas in the carb will attract water and evaporate slowly, corroding it, and leaving deposits behind. Gas should be burned, not allowed to evaporate, so turning the gas valve to OFF when not in use is very important, but still it's not enough in some cases. If it's started often and turned off for 1-2 weeks, each time the carb will fill, and then dry up. The solution is adding the PROPER amount of fuel stabilizer to the gas can, to stabilize the ethanol content. Too much stabilizer is very bad, so it should be measured perfectly. Some high grade gas has less ethanol in some locations, but not always, so it could also help to use 91+ gas. My guess is that the carb materials are not high quality, and the water attracted by ethanol is gumming/corroding up this carburetor..

You forgot the pilot...

@felixv2432 2 года назад

Does it necessarily has to be a carburetor cleaner ? Can we not use a WD40 to clean a carburetor?

@CleverFix 2 года назад

WD40 won't clear deposits at all, it's a lubricant. Pinesol dissolves deposits in a carburetor, and a ultrasonic clear is required to shake them loose. Without a ultrasonic cleaner you can let it soak in Pinesol for a day or two, but it's not guaranteed to work. I recommend a ultrasonic cleaner for anybody with small engines around the house.. sooner or later they will all clog. Gasoline evaporates out of the carburetor, and leaves behind deposits. The more gas that goes through a carburetor and evaporates, the faster it will clog. Having a fuel shutoff switch helps a lot.

@felixv2432 2 года назад

@@CleverFix thank you and very intuitive, further l don't know what type of oil should l use for the engine.

@lardy70s 2 года назад

WD40 is a lubricant which leaves a film. Spraying this will contaminate the fuel in the carb. Spraying carb cleaner is a solvent which has cleaning properties and evaporates.

@maddoxinc1642 2 года назад

You're not specific on what you mean by "premium grade" gas. A premium gas won't solve the problem which is ethanol. You should be more specific and state that one should use ethanol free fuel in anything that has a carb. I ONLY run ethanol free fuel in my small engines with carbs and I've resolved all these issues. It's the ethanol that gums up and clogs the micro jets causing rough idle issues.

@bl9531 Год назад

I assume you are American? We no longer have ethanol free gas in Canada

@maddoxinc1642 Год назад

@@bl9531 You can make your own. Add water to regular gas. Water and ethanol will separate out on the bottom. You can pour off the ethanol free gas off the top. Make sure to shake the bottle well and leave it to let it settle out. You can add an octane booster to boost the octane since it'll be reduced when you remove the ethanol.
