Thanks for the help. I'm just going to leave it alone for now, and if I have any more problems, I will take it apart and clean it properly.

Ive used seafoam in all small engines for years, couple oz in every 5 gal can of gas I bring home. Modern ethanol fuel has plenty of additives in it already and when it evaporates it leaves a white powder residue in the carb that can block small vents, jets and passages in the carb, fuel additives such as Seafoam or Stabil, etc, etc, help prevent such problems.

On the Seafoam debate, since my Original up until now, I've never had to use it in any of my IH Cub Cadets. NEVER. I've always kept what I could clean inside the carb, clean air filters, and especially a clean fuel tank. Every other year, I remove the head, true it up, clean the combustion chamber, and install a new head gasket.
So like wise, I would like to learn how you guy's carbs are getting so cruddy. It would seem to me, that if a carb is getting so dirty that you need this sea stuff, then you need to change your practices. I've always got good results when using Marvel Mystery Oil to the fuel supply. |

Is Marvel not simply another fuel additive intended to maintain a clean fuel system.... same thing differant label afaic.
Take an engine apart every two years just to clean inside them.... thats not gonna happen here. I drag home 30-40 non-running GTs/LTs every year and probably 60% need little more than a carb cleaning to get them running, which I suspect is mostly due to residue left behind from evaporated pump gas without any preventive additives such as Seafoam, Stabil...... or whatever your personal choice may be.

I use plow days to test different things. Fuel is one thing I test.

All gas has an additive package. Odds are the addition of ethanol is the only difference. A good fuel storage practice will eliminate problems like you are talking about. I been using E-10 with no problems for 16 years.

Dale, Sea Foam is for cleaning. Biggest thing is decarboning. Yes, the engine will have reduced power on it. I'm not surprised they ran bad with Sea Foam in the tank.
I used to use it in the shop. Mostly on engines that had set, or I knew were in fact carboned up. If you read the can, it tells how to do an intake manifold flood with it. It does work. Make sure to heed the part about "a well ventilated area". Thats not a joke!!! Don't do it inside at all! The newer engines with plastic manifold would carbon so bad they wouldn't run well. I've seen carbon build up in them bad enough they would run with the fuel lines unhooked from the fuel rail. Carbon soaked up the gas. On small engines, I'd only use it if I had a sticky valve, or stuck rings. But I'd run it in the oil, and gas.... but only maybe a tank of gas. If it helps, great. If it doesnt, tear it down. |

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.
