| Clean the carb again. Carefully remove the brass jet and the nozzle behind it, the holes in both have to be spotless. A piece of tag wire helps. I use a welding tip cleaner but am very gentle with it. |

| cleaned both brass jet and nozzle in an ultra sonic cleaner with carb cleaner then blew out with air AGAIN? |

| If you removed the carb, did you replace the gasket(s)? Symptoms sound like you might have a vacuum leak. |

| gasket from engine to carb? |
RE: honda gcv160 engine

| Yes, the gasket or spacer if equipped could cause the leak. A spray of carb spray focused in that area while it is running may confirm it. (It will pick up speed)You also have to be sure that you didn't flip a gasket on re-assembly. You have to be sure on the main jet holes being clean. That is the reason for the tag wire. After soaking , I always re-clean with spray carb clean to fully dislodge the gunk removed with the solution. Your fuel needs to be fresh and the rest of the fuel system clean as well. Fuel cap must vent also. |

| I have a Husky power washer with a GCV160 Honda engine. I am installing a new carburetor, but have forgotten the sequence of the gaskets and spacer. Can anyone help? |
