SOURCE: I can't find an oil drain plug on a honda 5.5hp engine.gvc 160.

The engine drain plug is on the main (square) base part of the cylinder block. I think it is 10mm. There is a compression washer to seal it aswell so it might need a bit of extra pressure to start it undoing. This should drain your block almost completely.
For diagrams go here, you will need the engine serial number and prefix.

SOURCE: My almost new Honda GCV 160 engine will not start.

Hi , I think you need someone to remind you these engins are not made by god and they work by obeying three simple rules ,
1.Spark , Can you see a very good blue spark
2.compression,,can you feel strong compression ,
3.fuel , is the right amount of fuel getting in , is the air mixture good ,

Now try these things

Find the manual and PROPPER set the gap in the spark plug ,
clean and check the air filter ,
remove all fuel and replace with brand new,
check the fuel filter,even in the tank tap?
undo the screw at the carb bowl , can you see petrol leaking ,

If everything checks out then try this to get it started,,

spray "easystart" in the carb , bypassing the air filter ,
if it wants to start but cant for long then its a carb problem
check float hight , float needle,jets and pins ,too much air getting in

find someone thats good on motorbikes , They like me know all the tricks to get things to start ,

It sounds like the (RMW 2.2 G24) pump has gone out. Mine had this problem after about 6 hours of use. I was able to order a new pump for around $160.00, and then installed it myself. Go figure it was just out of warranty. I think my next pressure washer will be one with a professional pump as I was told the one on my husky is only rated for about 40 hours of use.

Mine is doing the same damn thing! Trying to figure out how to take off the high-pressure hose connector because I need to inspect it for clogs.
