    • @doublewide6
      @doublewide6  7 лет назад +1

      I do like the Hondas. I like the old aluminum deck mowers, but they are kinda heavy. This mower has a metal deck and it has the mulching plug so it is not in great shape. This mower has a neat transmission where it goes at the speed you walk which is nice, but when the mower is off and you try to move it backwards, you have to pull really hard to get the back wheels to roll.

    • @aleblanc3547
      @aleblanc3547 7 лет назад

      Yeap, that's one of it's "common" problems. There are small gears, springs and keyway system on those wheels that get gummed up and need to be cleaned about once per season.

  • @KSMike1
    @KSMike1 6 лет назад +2

    Just to clarify in case anyone else asks, the same problem (and same seal) apply on the GCV190. I just did it today. I did have to fiddle with the governor adjustment a bit more than you did here but maybe mine slipped out of position as I tightened the arm. My governor shaft doesn’t have the flat machined on the end so it’s harder to see movement.

    Pretty frustrating as this was a brand new self propelled mower I bought and used all of about two times last Fall. Put it away this winter with a cover. I took off the cover and now an oil stain on my cottage concrete. Indeed I have a Honda 160 motor and there is oil on the deck and a corresponding oil puddle underneath. Upon finding your video I am confident this is my mowers issue as it is a little wet on the shaft. I guess I will order a seal and get busy. THANK YOU FOR PASSING ALONG YOUR EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!!!

      Alan,
      This mower has an interesting transmission. It is like the toro personal pace. Somehow it figures out how fast you are walking and matches that speed. This is not new Honda technology, but I have never had one here at my shop that worked this way.

    • @doublewide6
      @doublewide6  7 лет назад +1

      They will work completely if you clamp them all the way down. The fuel line was a little brittle and stiff, so I did not want to crack it. I found that if I put an old drill chuck key in the end it stops the fuel fine and I don't have to over stress the fuel line.

      Yes, I know what you mean about the handle. Get in the habit of putting your palm backwards and grab the brake lever from the side you are standing on rather than over the top. I will take a look at it and see if there is an easy solution besides bending the handle.

    Didn't work for me. I have a Honda Harmony HRR 216 with the same engine in the video. The problem I have is that the area in which the seal seats on my engine is different that the one in the video. It has sides which slope inward so the seal will not seat properly. If anyone has any ideas how to make this repair under these circumstances, let me know.

    Mine was doing the same thing. I ended up using RTV on the threads of the oil tube. The actual o- ring was fine. I wish now I had kept my Snapper lawn mower. It was 30 years old but still 10 times better than the Honda I bought. My lawn mower also keeps shutting down for no reason. I replaced the carburetor on it. You can jostle the mower and it picks back up and runs again. I suspect the fuel shut off is bad. There is no reason the mower should be shutting down . Indication is fuel starvation. I have had those fuel shut off valves go bad like that on my snow blower too. I useually never shut the fuel off anyways. Its better to drain the tank than mess with a shut off.

      Most likely your oil level is too high. When it's too high, it'll get forced into the breather assembly, and saturate the air filter. Check your oil level and drain some until it's on the acceptable level on the dipstick.

      @@brianmott728 PCV stands for positive crankcase ventilation. It's a device that helps keep pressure down inside of the engine. Without one, engines could blow oil seals etc. Look for a rubber hose leading to your carburetor or air cleaner box that isn't your fuel line. That's your PCV hose. Follow it back to the valve assembly itself. The hose or assembly is most likely clogged.

    sweet! so, I paid 15 bucks for the entire mower, LOL i doubt seriously that seal from Honda costs .25 cents retail so what I will be doing is cutting my own seal and the can kiss my butt. This vids cool as can be though man, i really had not even looked to see where the oil was coming from yet, I cleaned the carb and it runs great now, first pull and smooth as can be and way quite too! surprisingly so., I was looking for some one that is taking the rear wheels off. the wheel on my right side the drives as i stand to mow on the rear drives fine, the wheel on the left however is Missing some type of gear. the shaft comes out and there is a metal large gear embedded in the wheel but the shaft that the gear on the wheel is supposed to be being run on is gone, there is just a black rubber hose looking piece on the shaft with a C clip holder on the end . I took the wheel off the right side to compare but the part i see on that side is black plastic, the parts I see on-line look to be metal. so I am unsure if the drive gear on the shaft on the left is different from the one the one on the right.
    once I get that gear this thing will be like new. bad to the bone. that one wheel drive is working, still drives the whole thing but... I am positive it would be more awesome with the other on there. this is my first rear wheel drive mower. I cannot believe the deal I got on it. LOL 15 buck rear wheel bagger! Thanks for the vid. really helped , not the wheels but the oil spill for sure. LOL mines the exact same as yours.
    LOL I just looked that oil seal up on amazon 10.68? LOL i don't thing so. LOL I will cut a seal from side wall of old tire or something before I do that. the whole mower was 15 bucks! :0)
