Default Onan carb issue

I think I know the answer but I'm going to ask anyway. I have a B48G on a green tractor that runs okay but not great. I pulled the air cleaner off and looked into the carb when running and the fuel is just sort of dripping into the throat of the carb. Shouldn't it kind of mist the fuel into the air coming through the carb or am I thinking wrong?

I will have to agree with you Oak. Now you any good at setting up carbs? I thought mine was set up good, but after mowing with it for about 5 minutes, I assume it was heating up like normal, and it would then cut out on me. After doing this a few times, it then wouldn't restart, because I still have to fix the field in my clutch after it heats up, it will not restart until after it cools down. Onans are great engines, just frustrating as heck to deal with their quirky things!

I agree with you, sounds like the emulsion tubes if they have them in the Onan carb may be plugged. My guess is the guys on the Green site can better answer your question http://www.weekendfreedommachines.org/
Sorry I don’t have an answer for you.

My father in law just brought his 318 over and it had the "Surge" going on....Some good old cleaning of the air passages and jets and it was good to go! It was pouring gas down the throat of the carb everytime it would surge low.....

Also, they say that the split intake manifold will start to leak after time on these so keep an eye out for that.

I did a repower on my 318 with a kohler Command 20 and getting ready to do the same wit my 420...

Both blew rods at around 1800 hrs...

Thanks guys. I never looked into it any deeper and just ran some MMO in it mowing a few times and it ran great. It was a JD 420 and a local guy purchased it from me. I will say that it did run a little better then my 982 and JD did an awesome job building a nice machine.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
