Default Can someone tune my carb for me?
I'm halfway serious.
It starts and runs, but it's got a miss that's driving me crazy.

I don't know a lot about these engines right now, but I'm leaning towards:

bad plug
loose wire
carb adjustment
valves


It has a new coil, condenser, carb, the fuel tank has been por 15'd, new fuel sediment bowl, oil change, kohler points,kohler stock muffler, full tank of 0 ethanol fuel, and it's been timed with a light.

It has a miss that I can hear out of the exhaust. I've tried adjusting the carb via the kohler manual and I'm either not doing it right or it's not in the carb.

I'm frustrated and could use some advice.
thank you!

Go take a vid of it running and post it on either Youtube, or some other hosting site. I can probably tell what it needs by watching. Make it at least 2 min long. I want to hear it idle and run WOT. I also want you to take it from idle to WOT as fast as you can a couple times. Then get a good 30 seconds of it missing (the part that bothers you).

You don't keep your cubs inside?

I don't have a ton of property like a lot of y'all and if I crank it, the baby will hear 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.
