Honda GX160 shuts off after 20 minutes.Everything else works fine....???

Hi I have an air compressor with a Honda GX160 engine on it, It starts and runs fine for 20 minutes, It blows off as it should and starts compressing again as the pressure gets too low (9 Bar). After 20 minutes though the engine just cuts out, I can start it again and it will run for another say 10-20 mintes and then cut out again. Ive cleaned all the jets in carb and checked fuel flow.

Now at a complete loss!

Howdy George. You got me on this one too. It sounds more along the lines of a mechanic being needed than a compressed air guy.

Happy to post this for you to see who's got some ideas for you.

Cheers,

Bill
