Problem with honda gc 160?

Question

when you crank it up on choke it will run but as soon as you turn off the choke it will die like it stops firing, what could be causing this???

Answer 1

it stalls out due to lack of fuel. Has it been sitting with gas in the Carburetor ? You will probably need to remove the Carburetor

and have it dipped. I run into this with Motorcycles all the time. Change the fuel filter first it is cheaper.

Answer 2

Sounds like the engine is starving for fuel...try turning up the fuel mixture and let is warm up...or check float level.
