i just had my 160 running good but out of the blue i went to go for a ride and it wouldnt start. i had problems getting it to start the day before but i still got it every time after a few pulls. now i get spark, gas flows through the carb. (loosened the overflow screw and it came out.) bought a new plug thinking i just wasnt getting enough spark but it didnt help.

... where do i start?

Plugged jets. Try putting some gas or carb cleaner in the plug hole, if it fires and then dies you have carb problems. If it was just running fine not to long ago, what's the chance of having some water in the fuel.
