I did recently, I wrote about it maybe 5-10 pages ago, similar issue. I rebuilt carb about 5 times, drained all the gas put in new, turns out it was the spark plugs, would run 20- 30 seconds and sputter and die, then took 2 minutes to get started again. Plugs are cheap, just try a new one!I have a 20 ton wood splitter with a Honda GC 160 motor, that we can’t keep going. It starts, then sputters and dies. My friend is working on it, and he is an expert in small engines, but can’t figure out what the problem is. Does anyone have one of these motors and has a special problem getting it to stay running?

Had that happen on a motorcycle once. If the carb is passing *way* too much fuel it will get into the crankcase and then everything goes very weird.But haven’t checked for hydro lock.
Same here, on a pressure washer.I have a hard running Honda 160.
The engine runs on choke but not on the run setting. The problem might be the governor control adjustment.
