Default governor issues

My engine revs and attempts to stall once it’s warmed up. As if its running out of fuel. It has gas and spark. I notice when I give it throttle the governor will open and close unless I give it less throttle. What’s wrong?

Thanks again guys.

Lee

Does it run smoother with partial choke? It could be a intake leak, take a can of brake cleaner and spray around the outside of the carb. If the motor revs up when you spray a certain spot you have a leak where you sprayed. If there's no leak, with the motor running wide open, try adjusting the high speed screw either in or out till it runs smoothly. Before you do that though, with the motor off, count the rotations it takes to lightly bottom out the screw so you know where it was before you adjust it in case adjusting it doesn't work. After you bottom it out remember to back it out the number of rotations you counted so that it will run when you throttle up.

Lee, I would forgo the brake cleaner Idea for now, Or else that sweet paint job you just finished up will be running down your driveway!

In the high speed needle there are tiny holes, not only do the holes need to be clear but also the passage through the center of the needle between the holes.

If the governor is searching, then the carb is not adjusted properly, it is dirty, it is sucking air (possibly the throttle shaft bore is worn out) or the engine is very tired and needing to be rebuilt.

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.
