Pullstart 59,570 #1 Posted September 19, 2018 I am trying to help someone on the phone to get his old C-160 back to life. Yesterday was getting spark, today we confirmed the fuel pump is supplying the carb with plenty of fuel and that the carb has been thoroughly cleaned, but it sounds like it is starving of fuel that it’ll barely run with the choke on, but not at all without it. Could someone possibly quick tell me the baseline settings for the main and low idle screws to help a friend of a friend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,570 #2 Posted September 19, 2018 Here is a picture of his carb. The top screw is main and the side 45 degree one is idle, correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
