Beg for manuals thread

I need to get a repair manual for a Honda GC 160 OHV 5.0 HP motor. Compression is only 85 lbs. but don't want to go into motor blind.
Thanks, Woodfar

You can buy or download the manual from Honda here....

You will need the serial number from the engine to be sure you get the correct manual. I did not see the price for the manual as I did not click the part to continue.

Thanks, Woodfar

a lot of engines run fine and have 85 psi. It might have compression release meaning it's not really as low as 85 when running.

Rigid Pressure Washer Idle Problems

F

FullbackU on Feb 06, 2011

I have a 3 year old Rigid 3000psi 4 stroke pressure washer that has about 50 hours of use on it. I've used Stabil in it each winter and it has never sat idle for more than 3 months (always with Stabil in it). The past few times I've used it it starts a bit hard and while idling the RPM's audibly cycle high and low to the point where it will die. Any ideas about what may be going on would be greatly appreciated as I'm a novice when it comes to small engines. ThanksRead More

snapper ZTR joystick kit

cheese on Jul 07, 2009

Hi guys, I've run into a snag and hope maybe someone here can help. I'm working on an older snapper ZTR mower model # Z1804K. It's a decent mower and runs good. The problem is you can barely move it anywhere. The joystick bushings are so worn out that the joystick is reaching the end of it's range of movement before it gets much of a pull on the cables. There used to be a kit available to rebuild the joystick, but it is now obsolete/unavailable from snapper. The part # is 7062303. Do any of you have this on the shelf or know someone who might? I really hate to tell this customer their mower is junk just because the joystick is worn out. Thanks! CheeseRead More
