Can't Adjust Carb-Engine won't Run Long Enought
I am really fighting to get my new cheapie carb adjusted on my Quietline 1200.
Put the new carb on and it will start pretty quick with 1/2 choke and 1/2 throttle. I had pre adjusted the fast idle screw on top to 2 revs up and out from bottom, slow idle adjustment 2 and 1/2 revs up and out of bottom. After starting, if any change it throttle and the engine dies. If left to run after starting, I will only run for about 30 seconds then quits. Help! I am very frustrated. Thanks for all replies! |

I gave up on the new Chinese junk carburetor. Got the old one out, took it apart and it was filthy. Bowl is corroded and needs a good cleaning. I'm going to clean it up, and any parts that need replacing will rob off the Chinese and see if they will interchange. Bowl, needle etc. Will do the rebuild in the morning over coffee and reinstall by lunch. I will report how it goes late tomorrow. Thanks for the replies.

Usually just a real good cleaning gets them going. I soak my carb in lacquer thinner. Just make sure the rubber parts are not soaked. Clean the float seat with a “Q” tip. If you have torch tip cleaners, they work great for the passages and offices. You can use kitchen cleanser on a “Q” tip to polish the jets and the float seat.

Thanks for the cleaning tips! I will work on it indoors this morning and then install it and test late this afternoon. Stand by for report later today.
Thanks! |

Buy a can or two of aerosol carb cleaner. I spray the all the orifices and journals over a pan, then pour the liquid into a jar with a mouth big enough to put the carb body through. All the little parts go into the jar along with the body. If you have a rubber float needle seat take that out!!
Let the carb soak overnight, then use wire to push through all the journals and orifices. Torch tip cleaning wires are cheap and easy to find and a set will have every size you need. Then spray again with the aerosol, then compressed air. Don't be cheap with the carb cleaner. Set the float level properly. |

Are you sure you got a good fuel flow to the carb ? Honestly I've used some china carbs when I didn't have the original and found most to run fine right out of the box with very little tweaking !

Cleaning up original carb now. Bowl is corroded and rusting on the bottom. Took bowl off of Chinese carb, perfect match as well as plug but metal washer/seal.
FINRUSKW, you were right on the Chinese carb.....float was "Waay out of adjustment" I'm impressed. Now I got a choice, finish cleaning original or reinstall original...... |

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.
