Hello, folks.
I'm the *very* lucky owner of not ONE but TWO *wonderful* Honda GCV 160 powered devices, and both of them are a dream come true.

Does anyone know where I can get a repair manual for this engine?
The 160 on my lawnmower refuses to run correctly. It will run fine for a few minutes from cold, but it starts to cough, sputter, backfire then die. I can run it for 30 seconds before it dies again.
I've checked the carb and it's fine. Nothing plugged, fresh gas; no varnish.
My next guess is to check the timing, and I've got a good handle on how to approach that from reading posts on this forum.
Is there anything else I can check, such as ignition?
Thanks for all your help. I'm moving in two months and would rather try to get as much life out of this mower before I leave.
