Wow! Lotsa problems with the 160. Maybe I should swap it out for another motor.

Here's a black oak tree limb ... I decided to take a few slabs out of the center. I got 3 nice live edge slabs ... 2" thick and +/- 20" wide.

The rest gets bucked up for firewood.

Nice little mill plowhog. Do you trailer it out and do local sawing jobs?

My Honda 160 on my splitter has been great, had about 5 years, only "issue" has been the plug. Starts first pull even after sitting for weeks. Starts 2 - 3 pulls after sitting all summer. I run non ethanol.

Thanks- it's a Woodland Mills HM130MAX. I'm still building my skills, sawing only my own logs. If I take it elsewhere, I want confidence I can routinely get maximum yield from a log. I'm not there yet.

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.

If it ran off choke before w no problem, your problem lies within the carb. You got a speck of debris in there somewhere.

I have the Honda GX160 on my wood slitter and I have never had an issue with it. I like the GX series and always shut mine down at the end of the day by shutting off the fuel. It always starts with 1 pull even after sitting through the unused summer months.

I'd prefer a cast iron cylinder bore as opposed to the aluminum casing on the GC series.
I recall when Briggs made their "Industrial" series engines. They were a superlative stationary also.

Been waiting over a month for the rain to stop so I could set the new pump shed on the cistern, finally got a dry spell this week. Tractor went in to the woods clean and came out coated with mud.

It was too clean anyhow, you were making the rest of us look bad.

I don't understand the fascination with clean tractors... or clean 4x4's.

Fancy highway cars, sports cars? I washed & waxed those. My tractor gets washed occasionally and only if I don't expect it be using it again for a month, which means almost never.
