Carburetor Assembly
The 'hunting' or surging at idle is typically caused by a restricted pilot jet or idle circuit, which creates a lean condition that the governor attempts to compensate for by oscillating the throttle. Given the narrow tolerances of the Honda GCV/GCVn series carburetors, ethanol-based fuel residue often clogs these passages. Replacing the full assembly is the most reliable fix to ensure all internal circuits, including the non-serviceable transitions, are clear.
