One problem with the cultivator carb, it has a primer bulb which may be a problem to retofit , tank is a 1 gal mounted on the top, rather not have primer if possble, another problem I just incountered is that the engine was submersed in seawater during Ina, not sure what the results are at point, these engines are pretty tuff, I will still need a carb.

Did you find a carb, they are common here in US, where are you? There is always one on eBay for sale, I am sure I have one extra.

Hi All, I am beginning to think that we should try and find an after market Flo Jet That is mounted the same way as the problem child, throttle linkage could remain the same, hopefully, any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi All, I have installed a GX160 carburetor, modified a manifold, not getting fuel into the cylinder, however I placed a small piece of gas soaked paper into the throat of the carb and turned it over and I got a couple of pops, thinking of increasing the size of the main jet, any suggestions?
Thanks

I'm pretty sure that the cultivator carb isn't working as it needs to be connected to the Crankcase for the pumping action (a small hole not far from the Venturi) ....
As for the Honda Carburator - first check that it gets fuel to the Float Chamber etc.
A good guide (from Honda) can be found here : https://www.honda-engines-eu.com/files/files/carb-check-gx120-390-gxv140-390-en.pdf
Hope that you get it running. Oh - and please try with a brand new Spark Plug too (I haven't got a number for how many times I've been had, by seeing a nice spark outside the Engine, but no inside).
Per :cheers:
