Default Running hot??

I finally got my mower deck on and working good and it acts like the motor wants to run hot. Stumbles and bogs down give it a little choke and it'll run for a while longer. Anything I should check on it? It's a 100 with a 42" deck.

yeah. 1st thing, pull any tinwork you can and look down inside the front shroud and see how packed the cooling fins are. if they are packed with grass, oil, grease or a mouse hotel the engine WILL run hot.

these are air cooled and run hot anyways. WHat symptoms do you have that make you think that it's running "too" hot?

Make sure you have the airflow and make sure you aren't running lean. Check your timing.

You might check that you have sufficient fuel flow to the carb.
Bogging down and saying pulling the choke helps, indicates a fuel problem.

Thanks for the help guys. I took the little shroud off of the cylinder head and it was packed full of dust and grass working perfect again

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.
