I have a Honda GCV 160 on a Victa 24. It runs well once you get it started but it is suffering from savage kickback if it decides not to fire. Any thoughts? The valves are set at .006 inlet and .008 exhaust and the decomp spring on the cam seems to be working fine. I'm just wondering if this is a similar problem to the PT Victas on these needing extra weight on the pulley to avoid this kickback
