Cadet 126 Running Frustrations. Suggestions? Help?
Picked up a 126 a couple of weeks ago and have been tinkering with it. Ran when I got it, but acted like it needed a carb cleaning. I'm no stranger to cleaning carbs, but given the price difference in a rebuild and an aftermarket carb at about 6 bucks, I just picked up a new aftermarket carb. Also replaced the coil since the original was leaking oil. New fuel line and added an in-line filter. Verified the points gap at .020. (Tried .018 as well.)
It starts and idles fine. Sounds really good. At full throttle, it doesn't sound good. (BLAHH, bluh, bluh, BLAHH) I've adjusted the high speed jet every way to Sunday and other than the fact that I can get it low enough to kill it, it doesn't make much difference. Just changes the volume. Can't get it to run smooth. Also, has no oomph at full throttle. Struggles to move the tractor and mowing grass is out of the question. Is there something simple I'm missing? I was planning to start using it this weekend and use it until fall when I could maybe do a semi-resto on it. Thanks. Jbo

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.
