Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Honda GC160, float bowl, pressure washer


Question
Hi Eric. I have a Honda GC160 engine on my pressure washer. I can not get it to start. If I pour gas in the carb it will run untill the gas runs out that I poured in there. But it will not with out it. I checked the pump and there is fuel getting to the carb but there is no fuel getting through it to the carb. Any ideas?

Answer
Try draining the caruburetor bowl. Many Honda's have a screw on the carb bowl you can loosen to drain the bowl.  If you do not have a screw then you may have to remove the carb float bowl nut on the bottom of the carb to drain the bowl.

Let me know what happens.
