Why doesn't my Honda lawn mower start after replacing crankshaft?
I replaced a crankshaft on my Honda HR216 Lawn Mower and now it doesn't start. What did I do wrong? Replaced the spark plug and the air cleaner to no avail. HELP. With all this rain I will have to get a few goats to keep my lawn in good shape.
Check the timing! The most common mistake when reassembling a honda!
Bring the piston up to "Top Dead Center".
Remove the camshaft pin.
Align the "Horizon Lines" on the cam gear along the edge of the head.
Reinstall the pin.
Replace the cam cover.
Congratulate yourself on a job well-done!
