Cub 102, need carb help
I finally got my 102 running yesterday. I pulled the carb off with the help of a friend and cleaned it. It looked pretty good but cleaned it up more. It didn't really run well when I got it but now that it does, here is my issue.
I can get it to start but have to choke it. Even if it is hot. And if I am at full throttle and bring the throttle down to idle I have to use the choke and the choke needs to be about 2/3s closed. When I put the carb together I turned the high and low settings to factory specs. My main issue seems to be idle or low rpms. I've never tuned a carb before but I'm wondering if I should take it to RF Houtz since they are 30 mins away and have them set it all up or if you all may know something or have any ideas to help me out. The engine runs very smooth and strong once going, it's just that I think the carb is not set right despite being se to factory settings. Any thoughts?

check the sediment bowl for junk, did you blow out the idle circuit real good when you cleaned it? did you take the emulsion tube out? that's the big brass one that goes in from the bottom . try opening the idle screw a half turn at a time to see if it changes. your idle speed isn't to low is it? now to set the hi speed since you had the carb off you need to readjust the governor, then leave it wide open and turn the hi speed screw out till it starts to stumble, then turn it in an 1/8 at a time till it smooths out.

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.
