Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Honda GC160 5.0HP wont start, honda gc160, honda engines


Question
I have a Karcher pressure cleaner with a Honda GC160 engine.  I can get it to fire if I pour a little gas in the carb.  It runs for about 10 seconds then stops.  It's been about 4 months since I ran it and it still had a little gas in it when I added more this time.  Any suggestions?  I assume it's a carb problem.

Answer
 Hello Dave:

 Remove, Disassemble and Soak the Carburetor Overnight in Carburetor Cleaner. Then Blow Out the Passages with Compressed Air. Then Install New Kit.
