Frequent questions related to minor breakdowns of Honda engines, which, if desired, can be eliminated with your own hands.

1. The engine will not start:
Almost all Honda engines have oil level protection in the crankcase. If the oil level is insufficient, the ignition system is blocked and there is no spark. Always check the oil level before starting work.
The next reason for the absence of a "spark" may be a malfunction of the spark plugs, so it is advisable to have them in stock.
If all of the above does not help, there is a "spark" but the spark plug is dry, we climb into the carburetor. During long-term storage of equipment, gasoline decomposes and deposits in the form of plasticine or glue are formed in the carburetor, which clog the main fuel jet. It is necessary to remove the carburetor, disassemble, and rinse all parts well. Pay special attention to the fuel jet.

2. Honda engine emits black smoke and develops insufficient power.
The reason is that the air filter is heavily clogged. Depending on the type of air filter, the paper filter must be replaced with a new one, and the sponge filter can be washed and reused.

3. Gasoline in oil:
The engine starts, runs for a few minutes, then heavy smoke appears from the muffler and the engine stops.
Gasoline enters the oil when the carburetor shut-off needle does not hold the gasoline pressure.
It is possible that dirt has got under the needle in the carburetor and the valve does not hold. During transportation, the fuel cock did not close and the breathing valve in the gas tank cap did not work.

10.It starts badly - timely service was not done

11.Does not pull the load that previously pulled

Honda GX390 engines are often brought in, which smoke and consume a large amount of oil. The reason usually lies in improper operation (work without an air filter, work with a very dirty filter, work without maintenance for a large number of motor hours)

Reasons for engine smoke.

With prolonged use of the engine without an air filter, there is an increased wear of the cylindrical group. As a result, the oil scraper rings do not cope with their work and, as a result, oil enters the combustion chamber, and smoke forms during combustion. In this case, you will need to replace the rings.

Putting new rings on a worn out cylinder - it is possible to remove the breakage for a while, but this will not solve the problem as a whole.

Anna: in our village at least once a week, but still they will turn off the electricity for half a day. You can wash and watch a movie, if, of course, the generator, which had previously saved us in such situations, had not broken down. We have it broke in the midst of a holiday in the country, it happened when we again had power outages.

Sergey: I found these guys on the Internet, I think I was lucky. They came directly to my summer cottage, made diagnostics on the spot and immediately proceeded to repair, since they brought all the necessary spare parts with them. After a couple of hours, my generator started to work like new again, and in fact it is so necessary because of frequent power outages in our area. I can't even imagine how much time and nerves I saved thanks to these guys. Thank you very much!

On the eve of fishing, while packing, I started the engine and noticed that my towing vehicle stopped working smoothly, but in fact it stopped pulling altogether. I found this site, called the wizard for diagnostics. It turned out that over the years of service, the entire piston group had worn out, the cylinder had worn out and, in addition, the clutch in the gearbox had worn out. The costs of spare parts and repairs were not small, but the master suggested an ingenious solution to the problem: instead of repairing an old engine or buying a new one with a gearbox (it was expensive), it was cheaper to buy and install a new engine without a gearbox and replace the clutch in the old gearbox. The cost of solving the problem turned out to be acceptable, and how surprised I was when everything was done the next day, especially since I actually got a new engine! The fishing took place only thanks to these guys.

We urgently had to finish and hand over the work to the customer, when, as luck would have it, the engine on our show cutter went out of order. The work has stopped, the deadlines are on the verge of failure. The boss quickly found his way and found this site in a Yandex search. The master arrived 2 hours later, made diagnostics right on the spot. It turned out that the carburetor was clogged because of this, the engine did not start, plus, apparently, this engine had never been MOT. We didn’t have to carry a heavy shot cutter to the workshop and waste time, it turns out that oil and fuel can be drained right on the spot. Having quickly cleaned the carburetor and installed new air and fuel filters, as well as changing the oil, the engine began to start and work like new, as a result, we finished work in the evening and handed over the object. Thanks to your company for its prompt work and professionalism.

,, Cross-eyed reptile ,, HONDA GX390 installed on the generator. During operation, a flame escaped from the muffler. I muffled, checked the valves, everything was normal. When I tried to start, I broke the starter rope, then another one. When I changed the rope for the third time, I realized that the engine was helping me to tear it.I pull on myself, and at a certain moment he pulls on himself. Early ignition? Tell me who came across. Thank you.

You shouldn't be so on Honda.) I see two options - a large amount of burnt oil in the combustion chamber or a problem with the decompressor, which is installed on the camshaft. In the first case, you can try to fill in decarbonization.

The valve is normal, how is it? Is there a cap on the outlet valve? The amount of clearance? If the clearance on the exhaust valve is much larger than it should be, then the decompressor will also not be able to perform its function.

Well, I called HONDA loving, I will measure the gaps but I think it is normal. But the decompressor, it’s interesting, I didn’t know about it, well, I didn’t come across such a technique earlier, how to check it. Could the flame from the glushak go from the decompressor?

The flame could be as a result of an enriched mixture (for example, the gene worked with a covered air damper of the carburetor), in this case it is very possible that deposits were washed away from the piston bottom and combustion chamber and the compression increased sharply.
And to get to the decompressor, you need to remove the generator set ... with all the ensuing consequences

As the piston approaches TDC in the compression stroke, the decompressor slightly raises the exhaust valve, decreases the compression and makes it easier to start the internal combustion engine

Thank you dear Volt. The problem has been solved thanks to you. Gap on release is gone, two times gone,
made 0.2mm and the motor started singing.

alexv40in, not at all

.. by the way, the gap increases at the exhaust, and decreases at the inlet. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the clearances according to the terms indicated in the service book, on time! From increased clearances, even at Honda (I am silent about the Chinese), there are frequent cases of valve breakage, which can lead to the loss of the engine

tell me where you can read about the carburetor device used on this engine

Volt Can you tell me how gasoline gets into the crankcase.

Always close the fuel cock (located either on the tank or on the carburetor), however, the fuel cock can also leak fuel when closed.
And fuel gets into the crankcase so - when the tap is open or flowing through, the fuel from the tank located above the carburetor is constantly communicated by gravity with the float chamber. The needle valve of the fuel level in the float chamber allows this level to rise. This can occur over different periods of time ... minutes / hour / day / month / year. Then the fuel flows into the diffuser, some of it pours out, and the other part enters the intake channel ... and then everything is simple - through the intake valve, through the gaps - the piston / piston rings / cylinder and finally the crankcase.
And in the instructions it is strongly recommended to check the oil level before each start of the internal combustion engine.
Also, the oil should not smell like fresh gasoline.

Volt Thanks for the answers.
The situation is this: I checked the oil level, started it, after about 10 minutes it started to work unstably, drowned it out, checked the level and there it started to flow over the edge with gasoline.

Hi all!
Thanks in advance, can anyone tell me)
Generator with GX-390 engine
With remote start.
There was a problem with fuel leaking into the crankcase, they decided with a solenoid valve.
About two months ago, the starter burned out, replaced with the original 600 already, (if anyone is interested)
I waited a month and a half for delivery and the generator did not work,
after installation the following problem arose:
for some idle time of 6 hours or more, all the fuel in the cylinder dries up, when the engine starts, it does not enter the cylinder, (the spark plug is dry),
I start by injecting a small amount of fuel into the spark plug hole,
I think there is a problem with the carburetor, (I parsed it twice,
once the throttle valve is jammed, the second time it is sucked in,)
there are two adjusting screws on the caburetor, one is idle, the other I don’t know!
MAYBE WHO KNOWS WHAT THE SECOND SCREW IS FOR?
metal slotted, with spring

if it is a valve that is screwed on the bottom of the carburetor, then it has no effect on "heat".
This valve turns on for a short time (blocking the opening to the main jet) at the moment the generator is turned off (residual voltage from the generator is supplied through the closed contact of the ignition switch). This is necessary so that there is no cotton of the burning out mixture in the muffler.
If you repaired this valve, then it is quite possible that the engine does not start because of it.
But something hurts a lot you found faults in the Keihin carburetor (and this is exactly what should be on the Honda)

It's easier for us in Kazakhstan ... for 600 batteries you can buy at least six Chinese starters that will work no worse than Japanese

With the twisting of the candle more carefully .. I can imagine how much the head will cost
