If your Honda GCV160 lawnmower doesn't start despite having a full tank, you may have gotten water caught in its fuel line. This guide will teach you how to remove the water from anywhere it may get caught and get the lawnmower working again.

Note: Make sure to place the rag beneath the part of the lawnmower you are working on so any leaking fuel lands on the rag rather than on the lawnmower or the ground.
