Onan Carbon
Well, I started off on carb rebuild. When I removed the carb and manifold, I saw quite a bit of carbon buildup in the manifold and the jug. Here's some pics. Soooo, i popped a head off and I'm glad I did. More pics...yeah!
I decided to try our household steamer to see if that would soften the carbon deposits. I remember the old mechanic's trick of decarbonizing with steam by misting water into the carb. I'm sorry to say it only had a minor effect. I guess there's no easy way out o this one - I'm gonna have to apply some elbow grease..... I have to figure out how to clean the cabon off the jug intake area. I don't really want to get much further into teh engine because I don't have my garage built yet, and I'm doing this under a carport (well, tractorport). I suppose I have to pull the valves and clean them up too...and then there's the seats..... What have I done? I have to mow the lawn by Saturday! I'm also a bit concerned about the intake manifold. The rubber-type sealant between the halves looks a bit old. It could be sucking air. Is there any practical way to separate it so I can reseal it? I suppose the little peaned-over studs could be knocked thru, since it's only aluminum....yes? I noticed a wear line in the cylinder wall too, but I could not feel any scoring. There's a pic of that too.

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.
