Default 2182, engine surge
I was getting an intermittent surging. I was never able to keep a low rpm idle and even sometimes at WOT with no load I would get a surge. I saw that Sam Mac had adjusted his governor, I tried the same but no change. So far the only thing I had really skipped was rebuilding the carb. Popped it off, tore it down for a thorough cleaning (it wasn't gummed up but had dirt and rust in it) and reassembled it. Wouldn't you know, runs like a champ and idles super smooth. What a great machine.

Debris fouled carburetor. A common problem, btdt. Consider cleaning the fuel tank and replacing the fuel lines as the tubing interior deteriorates shedding particles. Congrats on the repair,

Shame on me, I flushed out the tank, cleaned out the shut offs, replaced all fuel hoses and the filter but skipped cleaning the carb because I was too excited to have it running.

Just meant it's real easy to get excited about the first ride and overlook something that should've been taken care of!

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.
