Going Friday to pick up my brother-in-laws Oli 1600 gasser for cultivating. He says "you can use it but it needs work as it is running rough". Says at lower RPM it sounds like it's starving for gas and at higher RPM under load it sounds like it's flooding out. Not alot to go on without seeing it but I'm thinking dirty/wet gas or possibly poor ignition. Low battery output might cause it to stumble at higher RPM but I don't think it would act lean at lower RPM. Just trying to prepare myself for troubleshooting. Any/all thoughts kindly appreciated.

Thanks!

You have good advice already but here is what I would do. Try the easy simple fix first.
Add a bottle or 2 of heet and cross the center cyls. plug wires. Rev the motor a few times and this should get it to back fire thru the carb thus opening up any blockage. I assume the firing order is 153624. This works on my 6 cyl. farmall and might work on an Oliver. If it does not work check gas flow into and out the bottom of carb. Good luck.

We have one of them...they tend to cook the coils due to their placement. I"d look there first. Thats how ours started to act up. Coil was the last thing I would have thought, but there it was. Good runner, just VEEERRRYYY thirsty.

Mysefl I would start with a simple tune up and see if that helps. Also check to see if when its running if chokeing it helps, if it does then you may need to clean/rebuild the carb
