My GCV 160 will run but only on choke. I've run into this symptom before on my power generator. I just removed the bottom bowl and sprayed up into the diptube. Not sure right now what kind of carb that was. But that cured the problem. On this GCV that didn't work so off with the carb. My question is before I break anything , is that air tube conected on the back of the filter frame as a slide on barb and it just slides off?

@roymg ..The air tube is just stuck on there with a tight fit. It will pull right off. At 1:49 in the video I pull it off.

I took the carb off and tried to spray everwhere I found an orifice. Putting that thing back on is a big deal trying to jugle about five parts while getting those two long mounting bolts through all of the gaskets and other parts.Anyway I came up with the same problem again. I'll probllay attack it again once more and then maybe another carb.

@roymg .. Video Part 2of2 at 2:30 I clean the emulsion tube and main jet. Also at 5:58 in video 1of 2 I clean the passage. These would be my best guess at your symptoms.

appreciate the time you spent on this my pressure washer died and im pretty sure its the carb now i have the ability to find out thank you

[sixtyfiveford]

@jspenco2 .... Let me know how it turns out.

Awesome! I never thought to use copper wire. Everything I was finding said to use pin gauges, but it seems to make more sense to use something that won't score the brass. Thanks for the tip!

@sixtyfiveford Thanks! this is the same engine used in my Honda HS520 snowthrower, I had a problem with surging and fixed it with this video. clogged air bleed circuit.

@yogi129 I accidentally called it a Venturi Tube. It is an Emulsion tube.But non the less, if it doesn't come out: don't force it. 90% of the time it is clean and doesn't require removal. Good Luck.

What if the venturi tube does not come out???
