Default Onan intake manifold

Took the intake manifold to check it. I'm having problems with the engine acting like it's running out of gas, I have to play with the choke to keep it running. I learned the intake manifold is a 2 piece & I am trying to figure out how to get it apart so I can reseal it.

those aren't really meant to come apart. if you are concerned that its leaking put it back on the tractor, run the engine and spray starting fluid or carb cleaner around the seam.

They are known to leak. Don is correct, the best thing is to see if it actually is before tearing it apart. There is a rubber seal inside of it. You have to drill the rivets out, pull it apart and silicone it back together, then install new rivets. No gasket available because as Don said, it wasn't meant to be disassembled.

It wouldn't work. If it is leaking, it would be small area and hard to find. The seam should be pretty tight and it's unlikely that it would get in deep enough to seal it. I suppose you could try it, but even if it does work, I doubt it would last long.

Thanks J-Mech, it looks like the gasket was prig ally silicone or it has been resealed before.

if I were to drill one apart I'd try to use screws of some sorts to put it back together. so its easily servicable

I drilled out the rivets on my 982 with the Onan and sealed it up with black high temp Permatex that was rated for use in gas and oil. I used small screws and nuts with lock washers and a dot of locktight on each. Put it all back together with new intake gaskets and carb rebuilt. After that it ran great, just inspect the intake well mine had hairline cracks and I had to make one good one from two bad.

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.
