Rebuilding my first carb this weekend, any first time tips?
Well, with any luck, my parts will be in for my 127 this weekend and I can tare into the carb. This is my first time opening up a carb so I'm not quite sure what I'm in for. I've read Matt's guide on how to rebuild:
http://mgonitzke.net16.net/tools/carb_rebuild.pdf But there's something I'm confused about. He says that the brass screws he removes after he takes off the butterfly valve and throttle shaft are delicate and best replaced if removed. Do I have to remove my butterfly valve and throttle shaft to accomplish my goal or (as it sounds in his article) is this extra stuff that doesn't necessarily need to be done? I'd rather not dig any deeper into the carb the first time through than I need to. And is it very difficult to set the float level? And for those that have been down this road many times, any advice for the first time carb re-builder?

i think you would only have to really remove the butterfly valve if you need to put in a throttle repair bushing. i did not do it the first time on my rebuild. i am now putting in the bushing that i should have done when i had the carb apart the first time.

Matt's done a good job detailing this. My personal suggestion is once the carb and you are ready to re-assemble, when you try to put the O-gasket in the groove for the bowl it can seem too large, so I've used a heat gun on the lowest setting to make it more pliable (obviously you don't want to melt it, but just heat it up gently as though using a hair dryer) and when you go to insert it into the channel, I will just get the slightest touch of petroleum jelly on my finger and run it around the gasket to make it "sticky" enough to hold to the channel. If you can see any petroleum jelly on the gasket, then you have too much on....it should just make it shiny. Well, those are my tips to add.

The most sensitive part that takes finesse is the set screws takes time to get them tuned in sometimes the factory number of turns isn't exact

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.
