Hi folks,

I got a 147 with original K321 and I can't keep it running. It runs strong for about 5 minutes, then shuts down! Any thoughts??

Those would be the two things that I would check first, next would be looking for a bad wire in the ignition system.

Can you start it up right away or do you have to wait awhile?

So, the choke isn't connected? Did all this start happening after you rebuilt the carburetor, or is this problem the reason you did the rebuild?
Now, did you have the head off, before or after the running issue? A few more in dept details and picture of the underside of the head and head gasket would help out in some diagnoses.

Cool
Choke is connected, problem was the cause for rebuild, took head off after running issues to check my valves, everything operates as it should, maybe new high and idle speed needles in jets? Replaced needle and seat, o ring gasket and flapper diaphragm,all gaskets replaced, kinda at a loss without much clue to begin with lol

Sounds Iike a fuel issue. Maybe your idle or chock isn't set right. I had an issue where in of my machines would only run with the choke on...come to find out the idle screw was set to low...man did I feel dumb lol

I would take the float bowl off and turn on the fuel supply and see what happens. Put a coffee can or something under to catch the fuel. Maybe the float is hanging up or possibly the sediment bowl is clogged up. Once I had a cub with same problem and I found one of the tangs the pin goes thru was bent just enough to restrict the operation of the float. Just a couple ideas to check out. Just have to start bird dogging it.

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.
