Carb removal
 

Hey guys I have a 30" Cub Cadet 4-5 years old that I need to remove the carb for cleaning, only runs with choke at half closed position. What steps do I have to go through to remove the carb? What do I have to remove to get at it easily?
Thanks
Lynn

What model of Cub Cadet are you working on...?? :Huh:

Sorry I was thinking they were generic. Model 31BH55ST596 Serial 1G305B30637 . Its actually a 2X 28".
Thanks

I ran that through the Cub Cadet Parts Lookup site and they have NO record of that model.

That’s strange. I’ll attach a pic of the tag.
With it only being able to run with choke half on do you think if I just take the jet out and soak it in kleenflo over nite may clear up the problem? Or is removing the carb to give it a soak more inline with this problem?

Specifics would help,
Cub/and later MTD makes snow blowers,tillers, garden tractors, weed wackers push lawn mowers, leaf blowers ETC, ETC.
Normally one disconnects the fuel line, linkage, associated air cleaner and mounting bolts.

that would be a generic answer to your generic question.:BlahBlah:

forgot to attach tag

Y the way this is a snowblower

If the blower got a float bowl, I'd remove that first and clean it out if it isn't so bad. Get the gas tank drained and put some fresh fuel in it. New filter, too! And the see what happens. If it looks really bad, pull the carb and rebuild it or buy a new one if it can be had cheap. Take pictures to help in reassembly.

Thanks , last year and the year before it was running the same and I did remove the single jet and gave it a carb cleaner spray and the bowl was clean, no difference. Earlier this year I had bought a gallon of good cleaner and I’m hoping if I leave it soak and blow it out it will fix the problem.
