Honda GCV135 Problem Solving And Maintenance Manual page 12

Engine Model: Honda GCV135
B: Fuel:
Ensure there is fresh unleaded petrol in the
fuel tank. The fuel is fed by gravity.
Stale fuel or build-ups
in the fuel tank are
most common when
the mower has been
stored for a period of
time (e.g. over the
winter period)
We advise the engine should be drained of fuel before storage for more
than 30 days. One should only buy fuel in quantities that can be used
within a few weeks, and petrol should be bought from the garage and
transported/stored in approved plastic petrol containers.
NB: Where a fuel supply blockage has occurred, a service dealer
should be consulted to free the blockage.

We advise that the engine should be drained of fuel
before storage for more than 30 days.
Please dispose of old fuel and used engine oil in a
manner that is compatible with the environment
When emptying the fuel from the engine place the
mower on a solid surface, or patch of gravel or
similar (fuel spillage may kill the lawn or stain a
patio):
1. Place an approved petrol container below the
carburettor (a funnel will help to avoid spilling fuel)
2. Turn fuel the valve to the OFF position
3. Remove the float bowl bolt (10mm spanner) and
turn fuel valve to the ON position to drain the fuel.
After draining, re-install the float bowl while holding
it in position, and tighten the float bowl bolt
securely.
