Honda lawnmower: identify a component

Honda HRB215 mower: fuel leaks from the part at the blue circle. What's the name of that part, and can I put a new gasket in it to fix the fuel leak?

Thanks!

As far as I can see.... that petcock is replaced as one unit. It's not serviceable.

Hey, if it's got screws or bolts holding it together, in my mind it's serviceable. Maybe not with factory parts or anything, but unless something inside has catastrophically failed (like a membrane or mechanical part), I'll try to fix it.

I just fixed a $7 tape measure with some epoxy and an unclenched pop-rivet. Only took about 3 hrs (not counting epoxy cure time), and I had to re-wind it twice, but it's fixed!

I agree and would open it up and replace the O-ring that probably is the problem.

Thanks for the ID, Pete. I wonder if the leak is actually from that yellow-colored plunger deal, rather than from a gasket between the two halves of that unit.

This mower doesn't have a typical twist petcock (that I can find). Is this connected to the throttle for the user to shut off the flow of fuel?

Vic, your 3-hour fix for a $7 part sounds like every project I've ever started!

Thanks,
Dave O

Craftsman mower won't start

J

jhansman on Apr 23, 2017

So, my trusty Craftsman mower (with the typical Briggs & Stratton engine) has been sitting in storage for some time (months) because the pull rope broke, and rather than fix it then, I held off til yesterday. With the help of good YT video, I replaced the rope just fine. Then I pulled the NGK spark plug, and it looked pretty burned, so I just replaced it with a new one (after cross checking the part # with Champion). Gapped it, put it in, made sure I had good contact with the plug connector, pumped the priming belt a few times, and gave her a pull. Nothing, not even a cough. Tried that few more times, each time priming a bit, so as not to flood, but no love. So, not knowing what else to try, I took some fine emery cloth to the old plug, gapped it, put it in and reconnected it, primed the engine, and on the first pull, the engine fired up. Hooray! I was in my carport doing all this, so I shut the mower down off to go get work clothes on and prep a few other things. Just for the heck of it, I thought I should be sure the mower would start before taking into the yard. Yes, it would and will not start now. So, I am stumped. Any engine experts out there who can give me a clue as to why it fired up once, but now won't start? I currently have the plug out so the cylinder can dry out in case I flooded it the second time round. Other than that, I have no idea what to try. Any help is much appreciated.Read More
