Honda gvc 160 not starting. cleaned the ventui & plug

yes it does but you said it had spark and fuel try squirting some starting fluid in it try to start if start good if starts and stop rebuild carb take to dealer 100.00

you are fouling spark plugs. the atv is running way too rich. either the air filter is super dirty or exhaust has been modified (race pipe, baffle removed, etc)

if none of those have been done then maybe your carburetor needle is stuck open and is flooding the motor and the carb needs cleaned.

30 weight high detergent evry fifty hours due to the fact that it has a plastic camshaft

For a Model HRR2163TDA 5.5hp.(GVC 160 Honda)..it is .028 - .31 in Don't know what model you have ...would assume about the same...I am not an expert

gas only lasts for 30 days in small engines try fresh fuel but you might need to clean the carb out

hiya

i would suggest the spark plug is either dirty or failing remove it and check the spark by placing the plug on the engine touching a metal part and stat the bike there should be a nie fat spark if there isnt replace the plug and give the carb a clean out it might not be the problem but it wont hurt to do some servicing

Hope this helps

Replace the plugs, don't try to clean them. The proper way to clean plugs used to be to sand blast them. The problem was that bits of sand can remain deep inside the throat of the plug. When the sand breaks free it causes damage to the piston, rings, cylinder and valves. The only safe way to clean them is to blast them with dry ice particles. Cleaning plugs is not a big industry. The equipment required is hard to find and is expensive. You have a lot of money invested in your bike. Spring for a new set of plugs. Please rate my answer. Thanks.

Could be Flywheel Key, Coil and Do buy a New Spark Plug. Make sure Head bolts are tight.

Pull float bowel and check carb may need to clean it. Drain any water from tank through fuel line.

The engine drain plug is on the main (square) base part of the cylinder block. I think it is 10mm. There is a compression washer to seal it aswell so it might need a bit of extra pressure to start it undoing. This should drain your block almost completely.
