Carb cleaning....help!
Well, this will be the 3rd carburetor that I will have cleaned in my life....kinda sad for a 35 yo guy eh?
 Just wondering if I can use something like this to clean it on the inside and out? 116.gif Or will this damage the carb or clog up the ports in it? Only reason I am asking about this product is because I have it here now. I used it to clean parts when I rebuilt the rear end of my ATV last fall. Or should I be safe and go buy something like this? 651.gif Anything I should NOT do when cleaning this? Its a Walterboro carb (if it matters). I priced out a gasket kit for it today..... $165.00! Hmmmm....should I bite the bullet and buy the kit - or take the chances of re-using the gaskets & o-rings? I was always taught to never re-use gaskets or o-rings?? Was I taught correctly or do I have rocks in my head? Ummmm...don't answer the second part of that question. I ordered new oil filter, fuel filter, and ignition wires & plugs, air filter & foam pre-cleaner for it today. Going to do a decent overhaul on it before the start of the mowing season. Can't afford any breakdowns! I still have to get my two releif bolts for the hydro unit, but that will have to wait until I get it running in top form again. I removed the gas tank tonight, thanks to suggestions from other forum members. HOLY CRAP! These tanks hold a lot of gas in them. Almost filled a blue water bottle with the used gas. Was very surprised at the size of them. So will flush out the tank this weekend good. Glade to see the fuel shut off on the bottom of the tank works, doesn't seem to be beat up too bad either. Just wondering....what happens to these Onan engines if you run high test gas in them? I am wondering if I bought a better grade of gas last fall and used it in the tractor? Because when I filled it up with the new gas...it ran like crap afterwards?

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.
