Default running issues 127
finally put the plow brackets on etc and then i take it for a ride and starts running funny. then it died out. then I could only get it to run at low idle without it dying. So then i take the air cleaner off and spray a bit of carb cleaner in there and when i got it started High Idle was surgeing really bad and i kept spraying a small squirt at a time of the cleaner and put the air clearner back on, finally started to run almost normal, but still surging here and there. Do you think its the carb? Maybe dirty? It also was vibrating alot when it was running funny. Ugggg just what I need.

If you haven't cleaned the carb thoroughly and put a carb kit in it, I would do that for starters.

Thanks Matt. I know it's not the orig carb. 1st off it's a walbro and it's shiny silver and clean. I know the orig ones were painted yellow. Should I get a kohler carb Or is the walbro fine?

I would get a Kohler carb. A lot of those Walbros seem to be set on the lean side of things from the factory. The rebuild kit for the Kohlers is also much cheaper than that for the Walbro, or at least it is for the twin cylinder carbs.

Just a word of warning, there were also several choke and throttle configurations depending on what the engine was for. Make sure you get one that was meant for a Cub Cadet, or one that has the same style choke and throttle linkage setup.

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.
