Are there two idler sprockets inside the blower housing on the left side? If so the sprockets are #31 in this illustration and the bottom one is bolted to a slotted hole for adjustment.

Loosen the bolt holding the sprocket on and slide the bolt to tighten the chain. You do not want the chain tight. Adjust so there is a bit of looseness to it between the sprockets like you would check the tension of a belt.

After adjusting see how loose the chain is where is runs over the auger sprocket. You should not be able to pull the rollers very far out of the scallop for the roller. If you can it is time for a new length of chain. Too much wear or stretch in the chain is what ruins the sprockets.

Loosen the nut mentioned in post #3 above (3/4" wrench/socket) then with some type of leverage (prybar/screwdriver) apply pressure on that sprocket on the inside while still allowing "some" flex in the chain then retighten said nut, and all should be good also if you haven't you need to lubricate/oil/grease the entire chain and sprockets. ....Plus what Gary said above!

      Hello, my new to me C-160 seems to surge a little when idling at half and full throttle. It also bogs if I go from low idle to full throttle quickly. I moved the governor back and forth with my hand then started it and right after it would go from low to high normally, then later it had trouble again. The surging also seemed to be less when I messed with the governor and the spring but doesn't go away. I plan to clean and maybe rebuild the carburetor and adjust everything. I've never done this on a tractor before. What rebuild kit do I need for the carburetor and is there anything else I should consider doing or get. I have a K series pdf manual that explains the maintenance so I'd like to go through and do everything. I just don't want to mess anything up because it seems to be in decent running condition aside from maybe cleaning up and making adjustments. I've changed the oil and transmission fluid and am moving on to the fuel system. Any help and suggestions are much appreciated.

      I have some prolems with the throttle and the choke on my Sk-486 (which you can see ). My dad and I redid the seal on the carburetor last fall and tried to readjust it so it would start after being messed with. I have a link for the manuel in the quote. The carb seems very picky and very tempermental. I have to run with the choke up and if I put it down it dies. I also can't put the throttle down very low or up very high either or it will die.
       
      Here is some more info from my first topic about my Sk.
