Is gas old? is choke on? is fuel turned on?

  • Anonymous May 25, 2011

    no new gas, choke on and off, fuel is on. Engine runs as long as I spay the starter fluid. As soon as I stop so does the engine.

Sputters dies after 5 minutes

If it runs at all, then it is not the spark, so it must be fuel. Flush the tank and put in new clean fuel. If it still does not run right, then you probably need to rebuild the carbureator.

Engine runs well no 12volts 110 or 220

The B&S unit uses an AGM battery. You can get one at Interstate. Use the 35 amp-hr size for this unit.

Honda gcv160 starts with starting fluid in carb but won't stay running

It sounds like a clogged carb. It needs to be disassembled and remove the main jet and nozzle and clean them making sure the small holes are open and free of any debris.

Make sure the fuel pump is kicking on it won't hurt to check the relay but I have never seen one bad yet it could be the plug on the plug on the end of the wires that plugs on the pump this run hot and it burns the ends alot several fuel pumps are replaced because of this make sure you have power at the pump if you can't hear it run it will only stay powered for a few seconds and then kick off. so you might need someone to turn it on while someone checks the power.
