JPWH 5,295 #1 Posted May 24, 2017 I have an opportunity to buy on the guy said it sat for a few years. He put gas in it and it would only run at 1/2 throttle and 1/2 choke. Am I correct in thinking carb. issue or could it be a more expensive issue? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it runs and hasn't got any knocks or other unpleasant noises or oil smoke issues I would think a carb. rebuild, clean the points and a new plug should do the trick 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Searcher60 208 #3 Posted May 24, 2017 I hope you have better luck than I did when I bought a c-160 past December. I rebuilt the carb, cleaned the fuel system, changed the fluids as it had been sitting for years. It ran great. No smoke, sounded great. Then, after about 4 hours use, the engine started to rattle. It got to where I had to tear it down and rebuild. One never knows how it will go. Good luck! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,703 #4 Posted May 25, 2017 Sorry Hank but it is kinda a roll of the dice not that hoping Dick is right. But then again if Bob Barker is in the house and the price is right?!?! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWH 5,295 #5 Posted May 25, 2017 So far I'm hearing about what I expected. I just want to make the man a fair offer based on the best information I can find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,703 #6 Posted May 25, 2017 Need a little more info here then Jay, is this for just a motor or a whole tractor? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWH 5,295 #7 Posted May 25, 2017 The whole tractor and other parts is for sale but he is willing to sell just the motor. I'm thinking maybe 100.00 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Searcher60 208 #8 Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) That is a very low price for a good 341. At least in this area. I offered $225 for one a while back and was rejected. See if you can pull the head and check if it has been bored. Edited May 25, 2017 by Searcher60 Spelling 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
