Removed old carburetor and replaced with new one. Lawn mower runs great now and engine does not surge anymore. Took a look at a YouTube video on cleaning the carburetor for reference. Pretty easy to do even if you do not know much about small engines.

1. I removed the old carburetor (three 10 mm bolts behind the air cleaner element), noting the order of the gaskets, the spacer, the shield plate and the linkage connections.
2. I disconnected the fuel line after moving the spring clip with pliers.
3. I connected the new carburetor to the two linkages and with new gaskets, reusing the spacer at the engine block. I also attached the fuel line and moved the spring clip back in place to secure the hose.
3. I tightened the 10 mm bolts that hold the carb in place.
4. I replaced the air cleaner element and then the spark plug (also changed the crankcase oil).
5. Runs great now!

I watched the you tube video on replacing a Honda carburetor. After I watch it, I was able to replace all of the other parts that I had ordered. Here is a copy of the video that was so helpful to me. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D32zXNYSxmw

I cleaned out the carburetor for spring and disassembled the carburetor. When I pulled out the two bolts that hold the air cleaner to the carburetor, the carburetor and all of the gaskets fell out. when I replaced them my mower did not run properly. I bought a workshop manual and all new gaskets to show me the orientation of the gaskets and it runs as good as the day I purchased it.

I checked plug and it was getting fire. I then knew it was the fuel side that was not working. I removed carburetor and disassembled it . (Make sure and remove throttle return spring first or you may lose it.) I found trash inside carb. I cleaned it up and reassembled and installed it. Engine would start with choke out but would not run without choke. Suspecting a vacuum leak,I sprayed some carb cleaner at base of carb where it bolted to the head and had a big rpm change. I then knew it was a vacuum leak. I took my flashlight and found the plastic block between carb and head had a Crack down the center. I ordered another block and the gaskets for the carb mounting. put it all together and it runs like new.

1. Shut off gasoline line using valve and remove the hose from the carburetor. Using "gas" pliers.
2. Remove air filter cover and remove air filter.
3. Remove two mounting bolts behind the air filter. Using 10mm socket.
4. Remove throttle spring and governor bail from carburetor throttle lever.
5. Remove vacuum hose from the filter housing.
6. For reassembly insert the two mounting screws through the plastic air filter housing and assemble two gaskets paying attention to orientation per exploded view.
7. Place carburetor on the two bolts making sure it is oriented correctly with the controls on top.
8. Continue installing gaskets paying attention to orientation.
9. When ready to put the carburetor on the body of the engine make sure the governor spring and bail are installed. Also be sure that the choke control lever is all the way to the right. The choke lever on the carburetor needs to be to the left of the control lever. Make sure the vacuum hose is back in place on the back of the air cleaner housing. Install the gasoline hose.
10. Tighten the two 10mm hex-head bolts up snuggly. The sleeve inserts will protect the air cleaner housing from being crushed. Make sure they are in place.
