Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Honda GX120 Small Engine, honda gx120, classen aerator


Question
I have a Honda GX120 small engine on a Classen aerator that runs fine except when it travels over any tiny hill or gets bounced around.  The engine will almost always shut down and I have to restart it.  What seems to be the problem?  Thanks.

Answer
 Hello Dennis:

 Open the Low and High Air Mixture Screws 1/4 Turn Counter Clockwise. Check the Carburetor Float. If the Float is Out of Adjustment or Sticking you will have this Problem. The Carburetor Float should be Level to the Bowl Seat when the Carburetor is Upside Down with the Float on Top. You can Locate a Breakdown/IPL at this Addy http://www.honda-engines-eu.com/en/service/spareparts/heepartscatalogue/index.js... Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Thanks.

 Good Luck
