    Predator 212 not starting after gx160 head

    Definetly has to be a jetting problem. I drilled jet out to .046 ( thats all i had drill bit wise) still no idle but runs without choke at full throttle. Imma pick up some bits and a new jet and fart around with it. Ill keep posted if i get it idling good

    Although it runs, it only runs on choke :( Gunna probably have to mess with the jets until i get it right. Or could it be the intake is not set 100% right?

    Well yea because the first time i put on the new head it had no compression. I then chamged head gasket and changed valve lash.
