Talking lt 2180 fuel issues
Good day. I have been having intermittent issues with the fuel system on my LT 2180 (BS Vanguard). Started last year, it would stall a little under load (while mowing) but I was able to feather the choke to smooth it out. Sometimes it wanted to run choke open, sometimes it would run choke closed. Often I would go back and forth while mowing(I have three rough acres so 2-3 hour mowing times are not unusual) At one point last year I ended up taking the air filter out to finish the job. I had attributed this performance at that time to a missing seal on my gas cap, the corn gas deteriorated the gasket to the point of destruction. Had fun cleaning all of that stuff out of the gas tank. Anyway, this spring, new gas cap (off brand) and airfilter. Seemed OK for the most part. Yesterday I was mowing in pretty hot weather, the wife calls on my cell, had to shut down to hear. The mower would not start back up. After about 3-4 tries I pulled the air filter, started right up again. Now it runs , not badly but it has run better, but wants the choke full out. I should mention, once I started it without the air filter, I placed it back on the carb and it started dying again. I have to say, this mower has a LOT of suction on the air filter , it took what I thought was a surprising amount of effort to remove the filter, as in I couldn't just lift it off, I had to pull it off. Regardless, I Mowed for about an hour after that, running less than optimal with the choke full out and no air filter. Other symptoms I've noticed: the fuel pump used to spit a little gas out of the vent, mostly when started cold, after it warmed that went away. Doesn't seem to do that at all now.And I've never changed the fuel filter. Could these things be the issue? I've had issues all year with this mower, tracing and replacing bad switches and so on. I haven't had a full mow yet this season. Kind of frustrating. And costly. I am getting good at testing switches though.

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.
