sounds lke float is stuck remove carb. and clean and check float is not stuck.

The carburetor has two circuits, a main power circuit and an idle circuit. When the idle circuit gets partially clogged, the governor will drop the throttle shut, the engine partially dies and the governor yanks the throttle back open till the main kicks in. If the idle circuit gets completely clogged, the engine will need the choke partially on to make up for the missing air fuel mixture, will run rich and surge horribly. The carburetor needs to be cleaned out, a can of Berryman's spray can dissolve the crud out and restore operation. 90% of this problem is caused by old contaminated gas

If the recoil will only pull out a little and it appears to be good when you removed it, then pull the plug on the engine and pull the recoil rope 3 times all the way. Important - watch the plug hole each time to see if black debris blows out. Then squirt 1 time WD40 in the cylinder head thru the plug hole. Clean, gap the plug or replace if required. LM19 I think, plug is marked. RE-install plug, attach laminator connector. Pull recoil rope again, should be free if engine isn't seized. Make sure oil has been changed this year, 30W, and is full. Check air filter also while you are doing this basic maintenance.

Have you checked the blade for balance? Bad gas?

Hi Duane: I'd be thinking that it's possible that the alignment key on the flywheel has sheared. That will throw the timing out and it can't run. Fix is pretty straightforward. Disconnect and remove pieces until you have the flywheel exposed. Loosen the nut. Lift on the flywheel and smack down on the nut with a plastic mallett to loosen the flywheel. Then remove the nut and flywheel. Replace the key (get replacement ant any lawnmower or chainsaw service shop) Put it back together and it should run just fine. Cheers.

If your Honda mower model HRR2163VXA is not engaging the blade properly when you attempt to engage it, and it's moving backward instead, there could be a few potential causes for this issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and address the problem:

1. Safety Interlock System: Most modern lawn mowers, including Honda models, are equipped with safety interlock systems that prevent the blade from engaging while the mower is in reverse or the handle is not properly engaged. Make sure you are following the correct procedure for engaging the blade and that you are not inadvertently activating the safety mechanisms.
2. Drive Control Lever Position: Check the position of the drive control lever or drive engagement lever on your mower. Ensure that it is in the proper position for mowing and not in a neutral or reverse position.
3. Control Cable Adjustment: The control cables that operate the blade engagement and drive functions can sometimes become loose or misadjusted. Check the cables for proper tension and ensure they are connected securely to their respective control levers.
4. Belt and Pulley Inspection: Inspect the belt that drives the blade engagement system for any signs of damage or wear. Additionally, check the pulleys and pulley mechanisms to ensure they are functioning properly.
5. Blade Engagement Mechanism Inspection: Examine the blade engagement mechanism itself, including the engagement lever and associated components. Look for any signs of damage, wear, or misalignment that could be preventing proper engagement.
6. Consult the Manual: Refer to the user manual for your Honda mower for specific instructions on troubleshooting and adjusting the blade engagement system. The manual may have diagrams and step-by-step instructions for resolving issues.
7. Professional Assistance: If you're unable to identify and resolve the issue on your own, consider seeking assistance from a professional lawn mower technician. They will have experience with Honda mowers and can diagnose and repair any mechanical or electrical problems.

It's important to prioritize safety when working with lawn mowers. If you're unsure about any step or if the issue is not easily resolved, it's recommended to seek professional assistance to avoid potential injury or further damage to the equipment.

Do the engine rpms drop or only the blade speed?

If belt is tight at cutting height and engine rpms hold, then the vbelt from engine to deck is likely is dry burnished or oily.

First check the blades are install cutting edge down (fin up). If belt from engine to deck has a glassy finish (burnished) replace belt or remove burnish with sandpaper.

It appears be relatively complicated deck system. See owners manual regarding deck remove/install.
