Fuel sol's, came about to comply with emissions. When the engine ignition is terminated, the rundown allows a bit of fuel/air through the engine, producing unwanted emissions. Every tiny bit gets measured and it is a way to comply. An added benefit is a reduction in dieseling and ignition of unused fuel in the exhaust system. FWIW If a person is experiencing a back fire or "pop" in the exhaust after shutting off the ignition, sometimes it is caused by introduction of air into the exhaust system. Example: loose clamps, gaps between pipes/mufflers, or deteriorating system (rust out) A good exhaust system helps eliminate that. |

All good info from everyone !
After running and mowing a couple hours in 90* heat, I shut down and for the first time since I brought it home there was no backfire or dieseling. Now I suppose some of that may have possibly been caused by the old carb and the fact that I found the PO had torn a section of gasket off and not replaced with a new one between the top of the carb and the air cleaner plate. Although I doubt that would make a differnce. So I agree with you Todd, why not keep the Fuel Solenoid. I know they run without it but I really hated the backfires, etc. I'm so happy with how great it runs now with the new carb and gaskets !! Definitely MUCH smoother and more power. Note that I also ran all new fuel line, a new large fuel filter and added an electric fuel pump. I'm sure the mechanical pump was failing as I found bits of rubber in the fuel filter between the pump and carb. I of course had a filter before the pump as usual also. |

I have another question, as you know, the air cleaner base plate has 4 triangular openings. 2 of these line up with the blower ducts and the other 2 take air in from above the engine.
Seems it would be better to close off the 2 over the engine and just intake relatively cooler, cleaner air from the blower. Anyone done this ? Any thoughts ? |

Ahh !! good points ! I didn't think of it that way. And, might over pressure and cause problems with the carb.
Great info, thank you ! I'm glad I asked first. |

I want to add, before anyone goes thinking it, that you can't "supercharge" the engine with the cooling fan. Yes, there is a very low amount of positive air pressure in the blower housing, plugging the holes will divert the air to the engine cooling. Basically, it will just stop flushing the excess dirt from the filter housing. You'll take the air filter cover off and find it packed with grass/leaves and debris. No, it won't "force feed" the carb.... very much. It may throw the carb adjustment off, but no more than if you tune it without an air filter, then put the filter on.

Well maybe we can add that aspect of 'supercharging" along with the Oil Pump idea to a K series engine and have a real grass cutting machine!!

Lol. Maybe the charge air would add enough power to drive the oil pump.

That’s an outstanding idea

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.
