tuning GC160

[Dr. Shop Teacher]

Anybody have any hints on tuning a GC160. I'm having trouble getting it to idle without engaging the clutch.

i ran a gc160/gc190 for almost 3 years. i love them. i would suggest just throwing down for a new carb. i had to do that once. no amount of messing with it helped. ebay theyre $15ish. i plan on revisiting mine. FYI the stronger valve springs ans timing adanve keys work in them. My gc 190 LOVED 18lb springs and 4* advance. plus my gc160 had a stock aluminum flywheels.

Thanks for info. I figured a new carb would be my best bet.
