Default cc 123 trouble
i rebuilt the carb. new high rev needle, throttle bushing, float valve. soaked it in cleaner. new points and points push rod. new coil and condenser. set valve gaps to spec. new spark plug. set the timing with multimeter. hard time starting. in and out with choke to get her going and as soon as she does i need to ease the throttle up quickly to keep her running. when turning over she rolls over fires and squeaks and does this every time she turns over. gapped points to .020 and it seemed to help. but she still takes time to start. before and after that though when she was running, she ran real smooth for about 20 minutes and then started to dog down and reving her up at that time bogged her even more so i would back the throttle off to idle and then she would die.

and is this valve breather area the same area that the crankcase breaths/vents through? if not, where would the crankcase breather be on a k301?

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.
