Figure this out
I'm going to take full advantage of the general talk area. I want to give you guys a problem I ran into this week and see if you can figure it out. Call it a game, whatever. This happened on a car, but we'll pretend it's a Cub, just so it's less intimidating. Just because, let's say it's a Cyclops 2182 (3cyl Kubota, because then the engine is similar to a car). Hope at least someone plays.
Rules: You can ask any question, and I'll tell you the answer that I found. History: ~None. Brand new to the owner. Bought off individual, no questions asked. Discovered the problem after bringing it home. I figured out it had been on fire at one point, so electrical problems are a possibility. Also appeared that the engine had been apart somewhat recently. (Newer looking gasket on the timing cover, only one I could see easily.) Problem: ~Won't idle. Seems to get worse the warmer the engine. ~Runs decent above idle, but lacks power/ weak acceleration. (Customer didn't realize it, but it did.) ~Misfire (Most noticeable at idle.) Initial findings: ~Running rich ~Low vacuum at idle ~Confirmed ignition misfire. What problem do you address first? What's the first step?

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.
