It means the engine has been fed too much gas. If you depress the gas pedal on a car or truck many times before you start it, the same thing will happen. A gas engine, whether it is a small lawn mower engine or a truck's engine works the same. It needs a certain ratio of gas and air in order to create the explosion in the piston chamber that makes the engine work.

What does 160cc mean o mower?

In the context of a mower, "160cc" refers to the engine's displacement, which is the total volume of all the cylinders in the engine measured in cubic centimeters (cc). A 160cc engine typically provides a good balance of power and efficiency for small to medium-sized lawn mowers, making it suitable for residential use. This measurement can help determine the mower's cutting capabilities and overall performance.
