I Have a 160, what generation I dont know and its history is unknown. I have it running and it starts fine but it does not want to rev. If you give it a couple of pumps on the primer and gradually open the throttle and at the same time restrict the intake ie choke it it will rev up so long as you keep it choked. It has a metal carby the same as was on my old faithfull 125, $20 15 years ago but it wore out the rings and spat them out the exhaust. One thing I have just thought of is I am using the same muffler as the old one (shaped like a shark tail and points forward above the frame. Have the same problem with or without the Decomp fitted with the inlet from it blocked. also it has a foam urethane float. I also have another victa wih a 160 much later grass catcher and all and it goes like a dream and it has the carby off the 125 on it no problems at all except it hunts a bit at low throttle, probably the !@@##$%^^governor. I cant work out how to set them or some how to put a direct cable on them.
Has anyone any clues please,
TIA,
DON
