Odd choke problem, not sure what to check next
My QL 1000 has been running great since I got it and replaced plug, points, and condenser a couple of months ago. I mowed yesterday, and it ran perfect when I parked it. Today before I started it, I hosed off the deck, and the back tires and up under the back fenders.
When I went to start it, at first I forgot to turn the gas on, which I've done before. After I turned the gas on, it started right up, but sputtered alot, and now it won't run if I push the choke completely back in. Usually I can shut the choke off right after it starts, but now I have to leave it pulled out about 1/4 to 3/8 inch, or it sputters and stalls. I thought something had gotten wet, so I waited a couple of hours, let the fan blow on it for a while. I checked the plug and it seems to be burning clean. I shined a light in the gas tank, and do not see any water or dirt. I checked for loose electrical connections. I tried taking the air cleaner off. I took the gas cap off in case the vent was blocked. I rode it around and warmed it up good. The engine did not even seem to have much water splashed on it from the hose, but it's still running like a wet dog. Anyway, I'm not sure what to check next. I thought maybe I got the wiring harness or something wet. Or maybe a piece of dirt from the bowl got sucked into a jet when I turned it over with the gas valve off. Seems odd since it's been running so well. Not sure if the hosing caused it, or if that's a coincidence. Any ideas ???? Josh P

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.
