Default Stupid shut off valve!
I posted a couple of weeks ago about my 100 losing fuel (it stopped doing this by itself?). I'm just about done with my snowblade (with no time to spare, it's a whiteout outside), so I changed the oil, and went to fire it up, just to make sure everything would be in working order for plowing when the storms over. Hit the start button, tractors getting no fuel. When it ran out a couple of weeks ago it vapor locked, and I had to twang the fuel line/screen filter in the tank to get the air out of it. I figured that must be it, but after about 15 minutes of screwing with it, to no avail, I realized the shutoff valve was in the off position. I turned it on, and it started right up, just like it always has.

If I don't open it all the way, the fuel shut off valve will vibrate closed and kill the engine on my 126. I was mowing the first time it did it, and it took me a few minutes to figure it out!

I believe that all cubbers have done this but not all will admit. It's part of the growing process. I call em brain farts. Don't be surprised to find yourself doing it again someday.

LMAO, my 122 w/fel does the same thing, had it happen when I was putting the roof on my FIL's house just as I was getting ready to dump a heavy load of shingles in the dumpster, it caused me to break off one of his wooden fence posts alongside the driveway... Just color me stupid.

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.
