leaky carb
My 108 carb has been leaking slightly for a while, just a steady occasional drip, enough that it smells...seems like its coming from around the bowl, but its kinda hard to pinpoint the source precisely. Someone said I need to rebuild, which I really dont want to do until spring-it runs fine, I just dont like the garage stinking like gasoline. Any suggestions for holding me over till the snow melts?

your 108 should have a fuel shutoff valve under the tank. if it doesn't, then purchase you a shutoff at your local lawnmower repair shop. a carb rebuild is very quick and easy to do, if you follow the manual, it should just as good or better than before and with no gas leaks. hope this helps. jeff

A carb rebuild is very quick and easy...no need to save it until spring.

I can screw up anything, and with snow to plow almost every day I can't take a chance...I'll use the shutoff (my gawd, how dumb can I be? Please dont answer...) until I feel confident I can do the rebuild right...

there were two things that i never understood, first was carbs and the second was women. i finally rebuilt a #26 with the instructions you can find on this site (of course, matts' instructions are very correct and easy to follow) and now i can do them without the instructions. i do tend to forget how to set the high idle and so forth, so i have to resort back to the manual for that. and being on my second marriage, i am REAL close to figuring out women!!!! LOL !!!!!! seriously though, with matts' "how to" guide, you can do it!!! have faith my brother cuber!!!! jeff

"Do not try to figure out what a woman wants!" Because.... THEY DON"T KNOW WHAT THEY WANT!!! Back on subject. Why don't my fuel shut off work? Even when I remember to shut the fuel off, the tank is empty next time I try to start them and I can see where fuel leaked down the side of the engine.

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.
