A friend looked at it and checked the plug and said it seems to be running rich does anyone have any suggestions or know how to set the mixture on this engine.

Thanks

Identical problem with my Lawn-King powered by a Honda GCV160. So many replies said that a plug change would cure it, so I did just that. After weeks of trying to start it (It always started first pull, then died after about 30 seconds) I was suddenly cutting foot high grass with ease. Thanks to everyone who offered this 'too good to be true' tip!
