When it first started happening, I think I did pull the choke out, and it seemed to keep running a little longer, but I had somewhat ruled out the fuel issue because it always happens after it is fully hot, never when cold, or within the first half hour.

Dang, I just put $$ into a new clutch. It would suck if I have to have the engine torn down now. This tractor is really letting me down this year, and I'm not very happy about it. I even had a flat front tire this year. Not a good year for the Cub.

Man just gotta remember these are old machines and issues do come up once in awhile. Dosnt take much to fix the valve problem most of the time pulling the valve and cleaning it up does the trick. Just a evening with some tools good luck man
