Honda GCV160 Engine Questions & Answers
If I have fuel in the cylinders post fuel in my filter and exhaust caused by sticking float, will this prevent me from pulling the cord?
you are absolutely right on target. This is called 'hydro-locking, In fact many engines have been destroyed when a leaking fuel injector ,overnight, even partially fills a cylinder that is on compression stroke. With the higher cranking speeds today, It usually bends the connecting rod when the engine rotates 1/4 revolution s or more and 'hits' the in-compressible liquid.
In your case, simply remove the spark plug, and pull the rope a few times to blow out the gasoline and then add a teaspoon of oil in the cylinder, pull the rope a few times to re-lubricate the cylinder. When there is no liquid coming out, reinstall the spark plug and it should be good to go.
With carburetors, even a tiny speck of leaf or grass can cause the float valve to leak.
Chokes up
You may need a new needle in your carb. or you can take your bowl out and clean it. It could be your bowl float is damaged very unlikely but I have seen it happen. My guess you need a new needle and seat.
Does anyone have a answer as to why all of a sudden theres no water and presure coming out of my jet washer
If there is no water from you power washer it is because the is no water going in. Check fitting is connected properly. When you pull the trigger and the machine is not running you should get water coming out of the nozzle That shows that water from the tap is passing through the machine. As to no pressure that will be a fault in the regulator valve that is not reacting to the trigger setting and allowing the pump to build up pressure. It is still reading as if you haven't pulled the trigger
How much should good scaffold brick guards cost me?
These should be expensive, but they are nothing of the sort. You can pick up quality scaffold brick guards online for as little as £3.99. I use a company called
BrikGard because they use 100% recycled plastic scaffold brick guards. I like to be as environmentally friendly as possible without compromising quality or increasing the purchase cost too much. Given that their brick guards are so cheap and made from 100% recycled plastic, I feel safe using them. Also, anyone working on-site should consider using a brick guard because it offers that extra layer of peace of mind so you can get focused on the job without worrying about things like falling debris coming down and striking you. For affordable scaffold brick guards, I would check out BrikGard.
