Idle Problem Honda Mower Buffalo HRU196 GXV160 OHV
Thanks restrorob
All fixed now. Thanks for your guidance. My local Honda dealer was not that
forth coming with info on what could be wrong. I guess he may have been
thinking of the lining of his pocket.
Kind Regards

Idle Problem Honda Mower Buffalo HRU196 GXV160 OHV
Hi folks
I have a Honda mower with a GXV160 OHV 5.5 Hp engine that will not
idle. It
appears to run ok at full revs, but when I bring it back to idle the
motor
slows them speed up again over and over at if the engine is running to
slow
and the governor is compensating for the low revs.
The governor spring and lever are connected at the top of the governor
lever
to the carby and the lower spring on the governor lever is still
connected
to another lever attached to the throttle cable.
This problem started after I removed the blade disk to replace the
blades.
Any ideas or is it a trip to the dealer
Start the engine up and slow it down until it goes to hunting. Then
take your finger and slowly apply the choke, If it smoothes out there
is some trash or something in the idle circuit in the carb. , To fix
remove the carb. tear it down and clean with carb. choke spray cleaner
and reassemble.
