Walbro carb.. what do you do with yours?
I am debating RC boat anchor or something to throw at the deer when they are in the garden.
I traded a couple of hours of skid steer work for an almost new 14 hp Kohler replacement a few years ago and put it in the 149. Ran like a top, uses no oil, just a good motor. It had the walbro on it so I adjust it some and go on. Seemed to run fine but not overpowered, set governor spring tight to keep it going up hills without falling down. I have been mowing two yards with it for three years and this summer it started running out of fuel. Clean tank, new filter, still runs out. Blow in the tank and filter fills up and runs again. Checked needle and seat twice, nothing binding on float. Telling a friend about it and his wife said," you have to blow your mower to get it to run". That's it, I pulled a freshly rebuilt carb off the 129 and bolt it on. Fired off like it never has and without even adjusting it ran smoother than it ever did with the "walbro". After a little adjusting it idles sweet, revs good and has much more power than before, and this is with a 28 not a 30 like it should have. I can't believe how much more power it has and the lack of vibration!! So two questions, how much more power with a 30 verses a 28? What do you do with your old "Walbros"?

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.
