Honda GX 160

Hi folks,

I have a Honda pressure washer with the GX 160 engine.

Noticed my fuel line was leaking, ordered a new one and installed. Had to take the fuel tank off. When I put everything back together and fired it up, it runs wipe open and the kill switch doesn't work. I got something on wrong. Anyone know where I can some information on how the throttle springs should look like hooked up?

I have finally had some time to work on this engine some more. I adjusted the governor today. All the springs seem to be in place per videos I have watched. It will crank now and not at full throttle. The throttle lever doesn't control engine speed but the choke lever will and will overspeed engine opened up.

Sounds like my problem is in the throttle plate on the carb or the linkage.

The fuel line runs right past the carburetor throttle linkage. Are you sure the fuel line isn’t rubbing on it?

Lang. Checked that. The linkage works back and forth smoothly
