Figure 4. Honda GX160K1QMX2 Engine Controls & Components
The engine (Figure 4) must be checked for proper lubrication
and filled with fuel prior to operation. Refer to the
manufacturer's Engine manual for instructions & details of
operation and servicing.
1. Fuel Filler Cap – Remove this cap to add unleaded
gasoline to the fuel tank. Make sure cap is tightened
securely. DO NOT over fill.
WARNING
Operating the engine without an
air filter, with a damaged air filter,
or a filter in need of replacement
will allow dirt to enter the engine,
causing rapid engine wear.
NOTE
CAUTION - Fueling The Engine
Adding fuel to the tank should be done only when the
engine is stopped and has had an opportunity to cool down.
In the event of a fuel spill, DO NOT attempt
to start the engine until the fuel residue has
been completely wiped up, and the area
surrounding the engine is dry.
2. Throttle Lever – Used to adjust engine RPM speed (lever
advanced forward SLOW, lever back toward operator
FAST).
3. Engine ON/OFF Switch – ON position permits engine
starting, OFF position stops engine operations.
4. Recoil Starter (pull rope) – Manual-starting method. Pull
the starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull briskly
and smoothly.
5. Fuel Valve Lever – OPEN to let fuel flow, CLOSE to
stop the flow of fuel.
Engine components can generate extreme
heat. To prevent burns, DO NOT touch these
areas while the engine is running or
immediately after operating. NEVER operate
the engine with the muffler removed.
CAUTION - Burn Hazard
10. Fuel Tank – Holds unleaded gasoline. For additional
information refer to engine owner's manual.
8. Spark Plug – Provides spark to the ignition system.

for HONDA engine, and 0.5 - 0.6 mm (0.020 - 0.024
inch) for ROBIN engine. Clean spark plug once a week.
