Thanks for the advice, I’m soaking it all in. Anybody ever try an ultrasonic cleaner? I don’t think I’d buy one just to do a carb or two, but I’ve heard good things about them.

I got one a few years ago specifically to do these carbs.
They are expensive so the one I got was just big enough to hold small carbs. It cost about 35 bucks.
To say I was disappointed with the results of its cleaning would be an understatement. It sucked!.
Then to boot, it just quit working about the 4th time I used it. It was a Chinese product of course.
My advice is, keep your money.

Agree with Ironman.


I got one to clean gun parts. I was underwhelmed and gave it away.

Good to know. I won’t waste the time or money. I ended up finding a #30 carburetor. From what I read here it will work in place of a #26 so I put it on and had it running today.

Thought I’d do an update. After messing with the #30 carb for awhile I ended up ordering a new one. It ran decent with the #30 but I couldn’t quite get it dialed in. Could’ve been me or maybe some junk still in it since I didn’t take it completely down to clean it. Ran in to the same issue with removing the main jet and decided to leave it alone this time. The choke operating backwards was pretty annoying too. I ordered one from isavetractors. I had a $30 gift card so it ended up costing $30 after the card. Put the snow blade on today and ran it around some. Thank for all the help.

Tag, you still have the #30?
For sale by any chance?
You didn't screw it up I hope.

You most likely won't, it is too big.

Yep, still have it. It had some issues when I got it that I should tell you about. The main jet backed out easily until it got a ways out but then stopped. I think some messed up threads in the emulsion tube. At that point I just screwed it back in and let it be. The choke plate has a mounting screw broken off in it so it’s held on by one screw. Lastly the bolt that holds the bowl on is finicky to get started. If your still interested in it I can send you some pictures. The throttle shaft is in good shape IMO.

A 102 should have a # 26 carb not a 30, prolly why you can't tune it in.

I thought I had read somewhere that they would interchange. Apparently not though. Another lesson learned.

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.
