Question
I cant get my Honda GX200 engine to start this year.  It is on a John Deere pressure washer.  I winterized the the engine by draining the carb,added seafoam to the gas, and winterized the pump.

I have drained all the gas and put in fresh gas, removed the carb and cleaned it out with carb cleaner and air (wasnt dirty).  


The engine ran before storage now it will not fire and back fires out of the carb.  I am getting spark and the plug is always has gas on it when removed.   Will not pop over even with gas poured into the cylinder.  I did a compression test and it was around 40 psi if i remember correctly.

I am no stranger to small engines but have never had any experience adjusting the valves.  I had the valve cover off and they seemed to be moving fine.  But I am not sure what the specs should be.

I will try a new spark plug...i wonder if i have an intermittent spark issue??

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello Eric:

>>Sorry for the Delay. I have been Unable to Answer Questions Due to Health Issues. Thanks for Understanding.
>>Is the Spark Plug Firing?
>>Are there Any Safety Switches on this Unit?
>>Send me the Model and Type or Spec Numbers Off the Engine and the Unit/Mower Model Numbers, Please. With these I can Locate the Proper Manual and Better Assist you. The Engine Model Numbers May be Stamped Into the Blower Housing (metal engine cover) Above the Spark Plug. The Unit/Mower Model Numbers are Usually Located Under the Seat on a Sticker on the Body of the Mower.
>>Thanks.
