I have a Victa Power Torque V160.

However, it recently started dieing after running for about 5 mins.

I removed and cleaned the fuel tank, lines, filters, jet, needle and cleaned the plug.

Initially, it restarted fine, but then two problems emerged.

Firstly, the throttle response is almost non-existence. It either runs Flat out or Stop with very little range in between. This particular model has a rev optismiser and should normally run at about 40% with no load.

Secondly, the initial problem remains. The engine dies after a brief period of running, and will only retsart after a 30 min break.

Any suggestions ?
