Hi NormK,
It has a Honda GXV160 engine (Made in China).
You pull the cord, the motor starts and if you dont hold the throttle right up and the top (manually), it dies off.
There's a spring that I noticed is just loose (not connected to anything at one end).
The choke was not engaging initially and I twiddled around to get that working (kind of).
Tried looking for Shop manuals, but couldn't find any online.
