I have my Honda mower serviced regularly, but after a couple of weeks I get problems with is running very “lumpy” and will only run on choke.

A little bit of scrubbing goes a long way – not only towards the working life and day-to-day operation of your machine, but also its residual value. In future to clean machine without this happening again, you will need to unlock handle bolts and fold handles over, lift grass box flap and stand machine on its end so spark plug is pointing to sky, you could also get someone to hold handles to floor or rest something which is heavy enough to hold them down. my Honda izy will not stop when dead mans handle is released – there seems to be a loose cable (electrical which has a spade connector (female)) now hanging at the front close to the spark plug cable – I think it must have been caught on a bramble when I was using it today and pulled off so now loose – not sure if this is why it won’t cut out or whether just coincidence – I only noticed when the machine wouldn’t stop! Honda engine service kit suitable for all Honda Izy lawnmowers as well as all GCV135 and GCV160 engines.Repeat this twice using clean petrol, and then wash off any excess oil from the carburettor, then reassemble and re-fit. The wire you’ll have to attach has a female wire connector on the coil pack near the plug lead wire.

Your dealer should be notified and rectify the problem free of charge, it might be an idea to ring up and speak to them again. For years, Honda have built all their lawn, garden and power equipment around clean 4-stroke engine technology. I normally mulch the grass however when I wanted to collect the grass, it seems to get clogged up as it enters the grass box. Once you’ve removed the recoil, you will be able to lift up the fuel tank which will give you access to the coil pack.
