How hot is too hot?
OK, how hot do your cubs run when mowing? The carb on mine is so hot you can barely touch it after running for a while. I got halfway through the back yard when it started running bad again and just wondering if I'm maybe chasing the wrong problem. I have not pulled the bowl off to check for crud again, but it will run at half throttle, but above that and it bogs and will die. I did notice that the other day when I had the bowl off while hot, I turned the fuel on to flush the line and it would just spit gas out the seat with the needle out, not a steady flow, but had a steady flow out of the line when removed from carb. No trash in seat, I had blown it out before. Is this normal or is it getting too hot and boiling the fuel in the bowl? The air coming out of the holes for the head bolt access doesn't seem too hot but the air coming out the front is HOT, course it is passing the muffler so it should be hot. There is no glow in muffler that I can see and it doesn't really smell hot, so am letting it cool without carb work. If it won't run when cooled I know it is trash in carb and the extra heat could be from lean condition after main stopped up. So, how hot should the carb be?

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.
