Default Best means of removing carb on quietline
Yes I searched but no results came up.
I want to clean out the carbs on both my 1000 and 1650. Pulled the air cleaner off and I see the carb mounting bolts are buried behind the carb body. Not sure what the easier way to get at them is. Any tips appreciated.

Try a 1/2" wrench.
And a fine tipped screwdriver.
That's why the bolts have slots in 'em!

I use a 1/2" crows foot wrench on a long 3/8" ratchet extension to get them loose then the slotted screwdriver or just my fingers to finish them off.

Yep, break them loose and use a screwdriver.

Just did this yesterday. Twice. Open end 1/2" wrench to break them free, then a screwdriver. Usually just need to loosen the left one a few turns, and the right one all the way, then slide the carb off to the right.

Had to do it a second time when I forgot to adjust the float and the carb spilled a quart of fuel due to float not shutting off the fuel flow.

Getting good at this.

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.
