Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Honda gcv160 copy - stalls after 10 - 20 secs, honda gcv160, fuel mixture


Question
Hi, I have bought a brand new mower that has a copy of the Honda GCV160 motor on it. Just to try it out i started to do my lawn and it just stopped. I check the fuel and it had plenty, oil plenty. It has a safty brake,so as soon as you let go it stops, i adjusted this and the mower ran for a few mins the again it stopped as it did before. It does have a manual throttle control and it is self propelled. Not even using the propelling handle it still stalls. Any ideas as to what the problem may be? Thanks Mark.

Answer
 Hello Mark:

 From your Description, It Sounds like the Carburator Float is Stuck or the Carburator Fuel Mixture Screws need Adjusting.  Hope this Helps. Let me know what Happens, Please. I enjoy knowing the Outcome. Thanks.

 Good Luck
