Take a flashlight and check the bottom of your tank, there has to be something restricting flow, dirt, chunk of something floating around in there. Make sure your fuel line isn't collapsing either.

I've seen these small fuel lines start to deteriorate, but not collapse....

Sounds like a sticking float/ crud in the carb to me.

Best strategy is just to drain and flush the fuel system. Replace the fuel lines and filter. Pull the bowl off, or pull the whole carb and clean it.

Take the fuel line off of the shut off valve and see how good the flow is, if it isn't as good as it should be, take the shut off valve out of the bottom of the tank and clean the screen.

That's what I'd start with. If the flow's good, put the line back on the tank and take it off at the carb and reopen petcock. If it's not flowing, then it's the line or fuel filter. The fuel filter is for a gravity fed system isn't it?

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.
