Default Honda 4 Stroke 2HP engine problem


"ULB" wrote in message ...
I have a 2HP (thats not a typo), 4 stroke honda engine. Think I got
it in 2005. I tried starting it up last night. Took about 50 pulls.
Fine no biggie, it hasn't been run in a few months. It idles like a
champ, but when I go to rev it bogs down real quick and will die, if I
don't let off the throttle. Pulled the spark plug, its fine.

Could a jet be clogged in the carb? I used a gas stabilizer in the
gas, so it would go bad as fast, so I dont think its my gas. Thanks
for any replies.


This should be about a 15 minute repair.

Remove the bowl from the carb and clean the jet.
I had a 15hp Honda do the same thing. I used a fine wire.
Mine actually has a big screw ON the bowl for removing
the jet but it was just as easy to remove the entire bowl.

Back in business in less than 15 minutes.
