Honda Vehicle Parts & Accessories - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

Question edited for clarity, add maker and '(what is is)'. Question moved from Cars and Trucks to model category. Not sure why you would want to disconnect that warns you of impending catastrophic damage! https://www.google.com/search?q=gx160+qx+disconnect+oil+alarm ..

check oil level .low oil causes vacuum in the carb, causing fuel starving . also check capasator has not blown in generator .

If it had set for a time, the jets may be obstructed. Have the carb rebuilt. Also make sure that there is fuel flow to the carb.

There should be an alarm siren module with batteries in it, those batteries are most likely bad or failing. OR theres a "trigger switch" usually like a button that triggers the alarm and it could be stuck open or closed. a small amount of lube on this button will take carre of it

NO THEY ARE DESIGNED FOR SPECIFIC VEHICLES

No, you have to take the Eng apart in order to access the timing gear at crankshaft!

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.

I have the same problem...did you find a solution? If so please email me at [email protected].

THANKS!!!!!

generally the gap is 0.015" thou. hand rotate after setting to ensure nothing is rubbing.

You can easily purchase a replacement at dealer.

Hi Nigel. Not an expert by any means, but the information I can find suggests .018" (18 thou) for the points gap. There are two ignition types for these engines, a magneto (old style) or a CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition). Not sure if that has points at all. To double check, the points should open at 20 degrees before Top Dead Centre. As the cam is fixed to the crankshaft, the points gap will affect the timing. Regarding the low oil shutoff, it's not mentioned in the data I have, so maybe not. You can check though. The oil level sensor should have 1 or two wires coming from the crank case. one going up to the coil primary. That wire is grounded when the oil level is too low. If you think this may be stopping the engine from starting, you can disconnect it. But make sure the oil level is correct! Enjoy...

The voltage regulator may be bad, will need to unplug magneto and use multi meter and test magneto for voltage output on milliamp scale with the engine cranking, If voltage is present when cranking then the voltage regulator is bad , if no voltage then the pick-up coil and stator will need to be replaced.

Gravity feed tank need no fuel pump.....

Year make and model would help. Initially it seems like an anti-theft immobilizer issue. Check on the dash when firing to see if any emblem that either looks like a key or says security is illuminated during crank. If this is the issue, you have options. Google DEI (directed electronics) 556uw. This is an immobilizer bypass solution.

Close to a Ace Hardware? They have a spring assortment that can usually suffice!
