before i get started, no the honda isnt my favorite mower anymore muhahahahaaaa
how to kill an overpriced pos honda gcv160 engine
lets put it this way, it started using oil really bad
step by step this is how i killed it
1. pour 1 bottle of stp oil additive into crankcase after draining oil
2. top off with supertech 20w50 oil
3. disconnect breather and redirect off to the side of the engine
4. install denso iridium racing plug
5. modify governer so it runs at over 5600 rpms
6. start engine as usual
if you did it right it will start rev reaaaally high then slow down to about 5700rpm, run fine, really loud, clamp down handle and go across the street
you will hear it run erratically
go see whats wrong with it, leave it running it should do the following
shoot flames from muffler
knock really bad
go bang
and clank clank clank clank clank clank to a stop
and smoke for about 30 mins
that is how you put a stupid overpriced peice of crap honda gc series engine out of its misery
