Honda GCV160

Hello Folks,

I just bought a used GCV160. It fires right up on the first pull, but the engine doesn't sound like it is running at full capacity. At times, it will sputter a little, and then catch itself and pick back up. This is happening pretty constantly during use. Any ideas on what it could be? It has fresh gas and oil. Your opinions would be greatly appreciated!!

Sounds like it is starving chack fuel supply to the tap, then to the carb, then pull the float bowl off clean it & the main jet with is up the tube & screws out.
