Honda GX160 firepump runs good than dies starts first pull after and repeats

Check that the fuel tank is venting properly, sounds as though the tank is not venting therefore creating a vacuum that the carburetor cannot over come. Try running the engine with the fuel cap loose to see if that alows the engine to continue to run.

I need to replace piston rings in 5.5hp 160

Hi, the flywheel should be held on with a large nut to the crankshaft. You need to loosen the nut but DO NOT REMOVE the nut. The crankshaft should have a small amount of back and for movement, place a lever behind the flywheel and apply pressure to the lever in the direction of the nut, I.E. away from the body of the engine. Using a soft hammer (copper) give the nut a solid hit, this should dislodge the F/w off its taper.

Just bought honda hrv had an Avital 7111L remote starter in it. The starter starts the car but when I open the door to get in the car shuts off.

Probably done by design to stop a joyrider jumping in and driving off. Contact Avital direct. FWIW, remote starters are a whole lot of trouble. Let me know when you burn out your first starter motor because it does't release, or it locks you out and won't let you start.

Hi My Honda GX160 have no response while a moving the accellerater lever.What can be the problem?

If it is an electronic accelerator pedal you have, perhaps poor contact on the wires/connector on the pedal. Lay down on the floor, and check if the connector is in it's place and no loose cables. I had same problems with brake pedal and signals from that one.

Gx610 Honda v-twin small engine one side want fire

Hi, If you did the usual testing (comp,Carb cleaning, etc.) then I would go to the electronic ignition box if it has one. I've been fooled before. Checking for spark, wire off, or plug out, isn't the same as a plug under compression , Good luck.

2003 Honda Civic air conditioner, not cooling,low side pressure is 65, hi side is 60 adding Freon increases pressures to 100 on hi and low sides.

I am not an expert but if the compressor is working, there is adequate gas and no blockages I believe the high pressure side should be considerably higher - perhaps more than 250 psi depending on the gas type and ambient temperature. Perhaps the compressor is faulty or there is a blockage.

What would it take for me to add an electric start switch to my old school go kart with a gx160 Honda 5.5 motor....

Is the engine set up with starter now? If it does then you will have to mount a momentary switch and hook 1 wire to a 12volt source and the other to the spade terminal on the solenoid for cranking. If the engine does not have a starter mounted originally then you may want to look for another engine. Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/darryl_24e8d8d43e609e3c
