Default not starting

Hello guys, well I got the Governor Arm adjusted and everything was working great then it just stalled. I looked in the gas tank to find it empty, so I filled it up and it started again. I parked it in the shed and went out the next day and it wouldn't fire. It turned over like it normally would. I took the plug out cleaned it and tested it for spark and it has a spark. Now I am just lost once again.

Wild Bill is correct....pop the bowl off the carb (while the the carb is still bolted on). see if the gas flows nicely when the float drops.
If not, follow the line back....see if it's coming out of the line first, then the sediment bowl. Where ever it stops...just blow into that area, it'll start flowing after.
Makes sense to clean the tank out now.

Winter's here..get it done now, instead of when it's 20F out.

Is the condensor grounded properly? Check all of your grounds and make sure there is no corrosion.

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.
