How to fix a Honda GC160 that will not start?
- SsherrygillJul 26, 2025
If your Honda Engine won't start, make sure the choke is in the CLOSED position unless the engine is warm. Also, verify that the ignition switch and engine stop switch are in the ON position, and the throttle lever is in the SLOW or FAST position. Check the engine oil level and add the recommended oil if it's low. Ensure you have enough fuel and that it's fresh; drain the tank and carburetor and refuel if the gasoline is bad. Inspect the spark plug; clean or replace it if it's faulty, fouled, or improperly gapped. If the spark plug is wet with fuel, dry and reinstall it, then start the engine with the throttle lever in the FAST position and the choke in the OPEN position. If none of these actions work, you may need to replace or repair faulty components.
