Default 102 engine hunting

Folks
I have read a little on this from other posts.
The 102 that I got fired up tonight is surging or "hunting". I did reset the governor shaft counter clockwise and pulled the lever away from the carb and tightened the bolt. It did not help.
What should I look for next?
Regards,
Chris

Chris you probably know this but if it's running lean because of a plugged jet or dirty carb it will exhibit the same symptoms. Did you feel any resistance on it when you went ccw at the end of travel?

Alvy,
Thanks for responding. I did not feel much resistance but will go try it again and pay more attention.
This carb was pulled off of another tractor to try to get this running a year ago, and I havent done anything with it since then. So yea it could be running lean. I am sure not a expert on any of this stuff.
The engine wouldn't start, did not have spark at the plug. Changed plugs and wire and condensor, nothing. Reset the gap on the points, seemed a little wide, and she fired right up. I may pull the carb and give it a look too.
Regards,
Chris

I agree, maybe the carb isn't dirty but it might just be out of adjustment. It could have been fiddled with from being on the old tractor

Guys,
I took a known better carb from another 10 hp. and that pretty much cleared up the problem.
Had to drain the old gas after it stalled again. Fresh gas and it fired right back up. Tightened the head bolts and installed the upper engine cover that supports the exhaust muffler.
Used this tractor and the number 1 cart to collect rocks from the garden. Nice to bring another tractor on line.
Thanks for the support.
Regards,
Chris

Glad to hear you got another one going Chris I was going to suggest checking to see if it was the same size carb, but hearing you got it figured out, never mind.
Remember, we like pictures

Chris glad to hear you got your problem fixed. Having been there done that also without extensive knowledge can be quite frustrating but so satisfying when you finally get it fixed.

Some shots of the 102 so you dont think I was making it up We really do have one! I like it. Steers easy after a little steering tune up and some grease. Creeper works good.



I have the light kit and a grill. Not sure the grill is correct?




The Ohio Rubber seat has a crack all the way across but still functions!


It was so good, it got a chance to stay in side for a day or so.




Regards,
Chris

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.
