GX160 stalls after about 10 seconds

I jinxed myself saying I'd get to it the next day. I should've known better :ashamed:

I haven't touched it since my last post, but I'll make an effort now that I have some motivation.

In the meantime, have u tried spraying starter fluid down its throat when it starts dying on you?

I removed the tank, cleaned out the screen (which wasn't really dirty). Took the carb apart and cleaned it. (which it wasn't dirty or stopped up) Put everything back on, and it ran non stop. Except now, it governs itself too low. Especially when the compressor kicks on.
