Boiling Gas on 122
I've had a running problem with my 122 that I think I finally found the cause of yesterday: while mowing a yard that gets pretty grown over (the owner only wants it mowed every two weeks and it is irrigated), my 122 will gradually lose power and die. If I let it sit for a few minutes, it will start up, and usually repeat the problem until I add gas to the tank (I don't keep it full so the gas doesn't sit too long & go off).
Yesterday, I didn't have a gas can, and for some reason, after it quit once, it decided to run without a problem until I got that yard mowed. When I got done, I noticed the gas was boiling in the inline filter (non-stock fuel plumbing) and in the tank. Like pasta boiling-- vigorous. This I think is the reason for the running problems. How do I keep the fuel cool given it is sitting right above the engine? I realize today's gas isn't that great, but we're stuck with it which tells me that fuel tank couldn't be in a worse location, and I might be stuck with mowing in fits & starts. Any ideas appreciated.

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.
