Welcome to my channel, Homes for Beginners where I show you how to do repairs around the house yourself. Please don&forget to hit that LIKE button and SUBSCRIBE for future videos. In this video I will be showing you how to replace the fuel pump on a Honda 5hp engine, this is a GC160 engine. I will do a quick carburetor clean as well while it’s apart. While it still runs, the pump does leak out of the vent hole when running which would mean the diagram inside is most likely broken. The fuel pump can also prevent the engine from running. First is removing the fuel tank, this is held on with two 10mm bolts and a 10mm nut on the bottom of the tank. Then pull off the tank. To remove the air box, along with brackets and carburetor, this is help with two more 10mm bolts. Pull off the air box. The gaskets will most likely be stuck in place, so you’ll need a little force to break down the assembly. There are gaskets on each side of the carburetor and mounting plates. Remove the governor linkage and spring. Remove the crankcase vacuum line for the fuel pump. Remove the tank fuel line. Using pliers, pull off the line clamp and you maybe required to twist the line with pliers as they can stick over time. For removing the fuel pump, it’s held on with two phillips screws. The removal is easier with everything apart as these screws maybe seized and there’s not enough room with everything in place. Once that pump is loose, finally is disconnecting the last fuel line...
