Honda GCV160 HRS216 lawn mower cold start and running to idle

A honda mower HRS216 1 speed transmission. I also put a On-Off switch so I'm able to let the engine run without the stupid safety brake handle.

Nice idea!!

Sorry im being a bit dumb but how do you do it please?

What kind of switch is best?

Thanks

@cornishadz I simply remove the brake on flywheel, keep the wire that was connected to it, and put a switch. I wired this switch to the body and to the brake wire. Any electrical 12 volts switch!!!

Because the ones with a blade brake clutch are like commercial grade, $200-300 more, and farely rare.

instead of messing with the bail handle, why dont you get one with the blade brake clutch

dude, i found a 94 yard machine. i just had to take the water out of the carb. it runs awesome now, doesn't even need primes when it is cold.

I simply remove the brake on flywheel, keep the wire that was connected to it, and put a switch.  I wired this switch to the body and to the brake wire. This became the kill switch!!! SIMPLE!! ;)
