Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Honda engine stops running, honda gx200, honda engine


Question
Honda gx200 running a pressure washer-will run great then will begin to run a little ruff then stops completely.  Will restart and run great for 4 to 5 min then stop again.  I have fresh gas-air filter clean. Shut off valve is open. Choke in run position. Something is causing engine to quit. I Have checked the spark plug and it is not fouled. Unit is less than 2 hrs old. Pump has oil. Acts like it is out of fuel.  Coil ?  Faulty plug?  Dirty fuel line?  Tried everything I can think of.  Please help.

One possibility might be that you need to disasemble the carb and do a good cleaning of all the parts with a spray carb cleaner.does'nt seem as your getting enough fuel. you should always post your mod# & ser#. has this been in storage? any other info thats related that can shed some light would help in getting a more educated response.Just trying to help. You may also have a bad coil,as soon as it quits see if you have spark on the plug by using a spark plug tool. If you still have spark then rebuild the carburetor if no spark get a new coil.
