- Honda HR173 Mower ( Mend It Man will get it sorted 💪🏻) Including Detailed Carb Clean 🪥🪛🔧🧽
Hi welcome to another Mend It Man video in this video, I’m back on the mowers and the first one on the bench is a Honda HR173. I don’t believe there’s to much wrong with this mower, but I do my usual carb clean (detailed carb clean on this one) then if all is good just a standard clean & service will be needed. I’m hopeful this one will be an easy one for mend it man to fix , ready to flip in spring time. Thanks for watching and your support 🙂👍

JUST TO NAME SOME-
2x Land Rover Defenders, Subaru Impreza WRX Turbo Wagon, VW T4 Transporter, Ford Transit Campervan.
5x Puch Maxi Mopeds, a Lambretta Scooter, a Yamaha MX100 motorcycle.
Also lots and lots of garden power equipment. All this will give me years and years of content, so with all that it makes my channel well worth Subscribing to 😀
A bit about me I grew up around engine’s as my dad was always a car mechanic and that’s how I learnt about them and liked working on engine’s. As the years have gone on my passion for working on engines has grown even more, unfortunately for me my dad slowed down working on cars when I was around 20 in the 90s, So the career I always thought I would have didn’t materialise and I become a gardener, but what do gardeners use? Power tools so that’s when I learnt all about power tools small engine, 80% of my work tools Mowers, Strimmers, Hedge Trimmers, Blowers were bought secondhand and most of them broken and I fixed them up. Most have been high end tools, Honda, Stihl, Kubota, Kawasaki, Husqvarna etc etc the list goes on I’ve worked on loads and usually managed to fix tools that were destined for the scrap heap. I have learnt so much and I pass a massive amount of that on in my videos, so watching my video could save you a small fortune in repair bills, so another great reason to subscribe to my channel.
Going forward I have plans to faze out my day job and work with the engine stuff much, much more that’s my dream, I also like restoring machines as well. So I’m always adding more and more tools to help me along the way. So the more support I have on RUclips means that my dream may come sooner than I think it will 🤞 I’ll do my bit with the video if you can do your bit to help it could be a great journey forward, thank you for watching my channel I massively appreciate it 🙂👍

Great video on repairing this hr173 Honda carb on it almost looks like one's I seen on pressure washers as well with the fuel shutoff on the carb itself.
Hi the carbs are much the same on the GX Honda engines, just differ in size, thanks for watching 🙂👍
Hello again from South Africa…very good video….i love how you explain everything…..you and your family, please stay safe
Hi thanks for dropping by, thanks you for your kind comment. You stay safe too thanks for watching 🙂👍
As you know i love a good Honda. Nice tidy work and it runs great.
I love these little Hondas, engines were so durable 🙂👍
That looks like a fun machine to work on awesome job Luke 👏
Yes they are nice and simple to work on 👍 Thanks 🙂👍
Great video Luke
Thank you Mark 🙂👍
was given one of these mowers, looking at symptoms am hoping your brilliant training will sort it after I have replaced the throttle cable, let you know, many thanks.
good video-how do you adjust the valves?
This is a side valve engine, if it’s the same as a briggs, the valve need to be ground down with a grinder, usually don’t need doing but occasionally they do 🙂👍
Hi could you let me know if the hr 173 is a two stroke or four stroke.also what oil it takes in the oil sump .and do I put any oil in with the petrol if yes what oil .great video 🫡
4 stroke. Run any unleaded in it from petrol station like your car. 5-30 oil in motor. Get from bunning. Briggs and straton or can use motor oil 5-30w.. Any brand. Just don't over fill it . Better to be abit under then over full.
Most of the time I just clean my carbs manually as well. Like you if they are stubborn then I use the ultra cleaner.
Hi Bruce manual clean with some carb spray 9 out of 10 times does the job just fine. I’m just a man in his shed if I was a big business then I’d have the ultra sonic cleaner on the go most of the time, but the time it takes me to get the UC out I can clean the carb manually. Thanks for watching 🙂👍
Hi Luke...my wee honda hr173 has just this evening started surging just wondering what the problem would be mate? Otherwise they a fantastic wee mower
Hi more than likely the carburettor needs a clean, I agree great little mower. Hope this helps you 🙂👍
@@menditman2004 she's only back after being repaired for a fuel leak in and around the carburetor so I'd assume it's fine...the throttle cable going into the carb seemed to be moving back and forward could see it when she was running
Cable replaced, carb cleaned, first time start, brilliant. Thanks again.
That’s great news, they are good mowers. I’m pleased my video helped thanks for watching 🙂👍
Really enjoyed watching your strip down of the carb. I going to do it myself now on my HR173 without the roller. I’ve owned it for 38 years and it’s still going strong. Bloody marvellous machines. Cheers mate.
In 1 day in Seattle I ended up with 2 of these...seems to be popular in UK...but after fixing both up. They cut grass very nice...cheers from the Yanks here
Hi, can you point out if there are still replacement carburetor (3rd party is ok) for these GV100 / HR173? Thank you.
Great video, coming to you from Canada and looking for your help. I have just inherited my father's Honda HR173, and I discovered that the main jet screw slot has been reined. Any suggestions on how to remove it or a replacement carburetor (mower is surging badly and needs a cleaning). He bought it new in 1987 and has always had it serviced at the dealer so not sure what happened to the carburetor. Once again thanks for the video and looking forward to any advice.
Great vid! Any guidance on setting the levers/ cables? Managed to get a very neglected one going but seems to rev hard & when easing of throttle it stalls? Throttle seems to be held open by the spring on the metal rod that activates throttle?
Hi great stuff, as for the issue it’s hard for me to know what’s happening, check the governor arm / spring isn’t stuck this can easily happen it’s tight around that throttle mechanism area. Let’s me know how you get on, thanks for watching 🙂👍
Thanks @@menditman2004 Should the governor shaft spring back as there is no spring in it. Just a split pin at the back. Or do you mean the actual arm. Weirdly that arm seems to spring to let the throttle run open! Such a complicated but clever mech all round there! Ta
@@JustinHarrisPhotography There should be a rod on the governor arm that goes to the carb, there should be a long spring that goes along with it , is that in place?
good littel mower i have the 4 wheel one
Hi I think I have a 4 wheel one in my storage unit, I may sort it then I will have a 4 wheel and a roller one, I don’t bother with self drive on these as imo they are so light it’s not needed. Thanks for watching 🙂👍
great video, I'm interested because mine is passing or contaminated the oil with gasoline, I'm going to do the service with this video
Thank you first time attempting anything like this and my mower is now running better than ever.
Best little mower ever made light and powerful for a wee 3hp engine! Was bought up repairing them!
I agree cracking little mowers and as I said in the video, they cut so nice 🙂👍
Good video keep up the good video on the channel
Thanks Lee 🙂👍
Great video Luke! Once the ethanol fuel is widely used in the UK you won't see many carbs that look that nice inside. They used to look that nice here in the states but now when you tear one apart it looks like chalk and aluminum rot. Chris B.
Hi yes I’ve seen a few like that, but they have been left many many years. Mowers that haven’t been used for a year or two generally aren’t that bad, but as you say with the ethanol that will change. I’ve noticed my stihls I use for work don’t like the E10, I wanted to experiment using them on it, but I will be switching to a better grade fuel for them. Thanks for watching 🙂👍
Nice save on the Honda Luke, good job bud. 🙂👍🏼
Thanks John 🙂👍
Anytime bud
Dumb question, is it a 173cc? Ps I subbed😊
Hi yes HR173 👍🙂
98cc
Carb on my mower is now cleaned and running like a champ. Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. I love the HR173. I have a small, but multi level garden and it is light enough to lug up/down stairs but strong enough for the job when it gets there.
Hi they were great little mowers, I find they leave a brilliantly finish. Thank you for your kind comment and I’m glad me video has helped you out, thanks for watching 🙂👍
👍🏻👋🏻🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
Thanks 🙂👍
great mowers luke
I agree brilliant little mowers 🙂👍
U definitely have the personality,experience,and voice to do these brilliant videos mate.
Thank you william, that’s really nice to hear, your support is much appreciated thanks 🙂👍
Thank you for the upload, I’ve had issues with the same lawnmower for a few weeks now, followed your video cleaned the carb and it’s running better than ever 👍👍👍👍
U have the clearest videos to be fair. I 😉😉😉enjoy
That good to hear thank you for your support 🙂👍
Job well done 👍
Thanks Henry 🙂👍
BRILLIANT VIDEO MATE. TO BE FAIR. I LOVE THE WAY U TALK WHILE DOING THE CLEANING GIVING US HINTS ON WHAT TO DO AND NOT TO DO. THANKS Mate.
Thanks William 🙂👍
Absolutely love this mower I've had mine for years and years. It recently just stopped working half way into cutting the lawn randomly. Started it back up a few days later for about 20 seconds now she won't go at all. Filter is clean, gas is good nothing clogged up still diagnosing.
Hi I agree they are great mower and they leave one of the best cuts I known and I’ve used a lot of mowers, have you given your mower a carb clean? That could well fix it, if not you could have a faulty coil which is failing when hot. Let me know how you get one, thanks for watching 🙂👍
@@menditman2004 I cleaned out the carb and now it won't even start up... Not sure what's goin on
Nice looking mower Luke nice fix
Yeah they are good mowers cheers 🙂👍
@@menditman2004 IV got a mountfield.with Briggs engine on the handle it's got a lever to rev it up but it's broken inside can it work with that removed ?
@@garyclifton2180 if it’s an older Briggs classic you can,email me photo and I can tell you for sure 🙂👍
@@menditman2004 thanks Luke I'll get a puck for you
