Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): honda gx 120, honda gx 120, coil ignition system


Question
I have 2 honda gx 120 gas engines. Both will start if I pour gas in carb and will keep running as long as I keep pouring gas. gas flow from tank to carb is ok, took apart and cleaned both carbs. Could it be a problem with low oil sensor? oil level is ok. can you help?  thanks, Roger S.  

Answer
 Hello Roger:

 No. If the Engine Runs by Pouring Gas into the Carburetor Throat, then Remove the Carburetors and Disassemble. Soak Overnight in Carburetor Cleaning Solution(I use Gunk). Then Blow Out the Passages with Compressed Air. Install New Kit. Spray Cleaners will Not Clean a Dirty/Clogged Caburetor. Soaking Overnight is the Only Way to Clean a Clogged Carburetor. The Oil Shutoff is Connected to the Coil(Ignition System) and will Ground the Coil and the Engine will have No Spark to the Plug. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully
