Those mufflers look like gy6 ones i have two of them aswell

Ok, not sure why no one replied, but I'd make sure all fuel lines are hose clamped, make sure carb vents are working, and REPLACE the needle/seat assembly.
Cleaning won't do much, but the actual parts can go bad.

P.S - What are those mufflers from?

Gy6 cans... and they barely muffle

Thanks for the advice, but consider my frustration seeing that both carburetors were ordered brand spanking new... as in OUT THE FREEKING BOX..... as in never been used before...
Frankly im dumbfounded..

Well, they were probably made in China.

 

[mckutzy]

ITs all made in china......Unless its a genuine Honda.... which says Japan... but could be also made in China...
And JT the seats on a clone type are not replaceable... the needle is...
Its embeded into the casting...

 

[JTSpeedDemon]

Ahh, Ok.
Either way, the needles should probably be replaced.

Ill get two honda GX160 carburetors, and build adapter intake manifolds. Honda / clone parts are cheaper and available everywhere.

How complicated does a throttle linkage have to be??
Imagine having to do this on two engines and then operate them at the same time

Twice....

Don't worry, the governor linkage on my flathead is way complicated, and that's just one engine!

Somehow the idea of building one of these things is way easier than actually doing it...
