Not really long enough to be able to tell anything.
How does it start?
Did you tune the carb?
Did you time it?
Did you plane the head?
Is there any smoke out the breather?
Where is the head tin work?



Rev's fine, but the way you did it, even if it was lean it probably would.

From the sound of the video it seems fine? Are you still having the same problem? It looks like it responds to throttle pretty well now? It could just be the video put it sounds like bearing (pto/SG?) might be a little loud. I agree with J that it was a little short to get a great idea of what it was doing. It does need to have the motor tins installed at some point soon.

If its running pretty good now I would just keep an eye on the plug to monitor the lean condition and fatten it up if you start to see it happen again. I've been, right or wrong, of the opinion that you don't have broken parts and that doesn't sound like a motor with serious issues to me.

I cleaned up everything then reassembled it before i seen your post on planing the head. I tuned the carb a little, idles a lot better and likes higher rpms a little bit more now. Starts on the turn of the key like it has from day 1. I dont have the right tools to do the timing on engines

You don't have a test light or a multi-meter? You can get a test light for $3 at an auto-parts store. A timing light is not necessary. IMHO, it's a waste of time. Takes all of 5 min to time one with a test light.

Yes this is a simple way to do it for someone that has been taught how to do it. What Jon is saying is to just connect a test light to the points and to a power source at the moment that the points open the light will go out, that needs to be at the proper time that the mark on the flywheel shows up in the hole in the blower shroud. As far as planning the head goes check out this thread.

don't rev it up at the carb, that over rides the governor. use the dash throttle and rev it up that way you know it actually hits 3600. missing allot of tin work. after you put the carb back on did you adjust the governor as per the manual?

I should have explained. But, for reference it's in the tech section. You can do it the same way the Matt G. did, but with the key on, using a test light. (Same as Sam's description above.)

Here's the link for timing procedure in the tech section:

Just my, but did anybody ask if he was running the correct plug?? I have seen too hot a plug cause all the symptoms above. I have also seen it cause the "hot spots" in the cylinder. Coupled with a too lean condition can be DISASTEROUS!!!! Good luck!

No, all the tin-work is not there..... It is missing the tin work over the head at least. Does it have the tin work behind the carb? How about the opposite side?

You need to adjust the governor. You needed to plane the head. You need to check timing.

The spark plug is the correct one.

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.
