I loosened/tightened mine with a pair of pliers rather than chewing up a socket.

I wish I knew what you guys are taking out with sockets and nut drivers, cause whatever it is mine must still be in there.

The part that your needle with the rubber tip sits in.

That is what I was talking about sorry. I originally tried to fit a socket on it but you need a very thin walled socket and I didn't want to modify my snap on stuff. They won't replace it when it breaks that way.

Oh, you mean the thingie? Mine was easy, it is slotted for a screwdriver...

I cant find any leakage from the float so I cant find a hole. I did find a spot where it looks like somebody before me may have sealed the gas inside. Hmmmm... I'll price them tomorrow and if they are free I'll get one.

ok,
installed the new kit. went super easy. now, my problem. installed the O ring and the float baffle then the screw for the bowl. the screw is now leaking gas. It has the new gasket washer thing on it and the screw is tight.
Is their another way to stop the screw from leaking? washer on the inside too? orange plumbers tape around the last two threads?
It just seems it's one thing after another.

I have had that problem for years on my 108. I just tinkered with that screw, sometimes tightening it beyond what I thought was smart, and sometimes backing it off a little. It never worked 100% for long. Its a frustrating problem. I was hoping it might stop when I replace the gasket in my kit, but maybe not...

I'm happy to say my 108 carb rebuild is done, and it even runs! Next time the blindfold, for sure.

Unfortunately mine leaked a bit too afterward. I think I have it stopped now after tightening up a bit, but only time will tell. Cub108, I wonder if the bottom if the bowl gets a bit bent out of shape after a while? I had that idea after installing mine, so I couldn't check it. Hope you solve your leak soon.

Congrats Wayne! I knew you could do it! They do sell replacement bowls. Next blind folded with the video camera recording it too!

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.
