One thing at a time bro. Get the carb adjusted and see what that does before doing anything else. On that note.... you asked why not do a valve job while it's open... well, because that would involve complete disassembly and cleaning. All that you are saying he did was replace the piston. My question would be, why didn't he do a proper overhaul???? Replacing a piston is not an overhaul. But 80 year-olds think it is. "That's how we used to do it." they say. |

BTW. I mentioned the spray of of water in carb while running because some old timers swore it would "clean carbon".. Google it if ya want but ask yourself . Why is the carbon build up there to begin with. Old timers had some pretty neat ways of doing things "laughin" but times have changed some

My initial thought after I read about the PO overhauling it was "hmmm, then why is he so dedicated to coming out and trying to fix it?"
No offense, the PO might be a great guy, and obviously seems to want to make it right, but I would question whether his work was done right, or if it was done it all. If you have cracked open the top of the engine and it looks dirty, he probably didn't do anything to it. Any one who would have overhauled an engine would not have put dirty parts back on. After reading through about 5 of your comments, my money was on a valve issue. As J-Mech has stated probably 100 times here on OCC, the K-Series are not very difficult to overhaul, but that is assuming that you are capable of such a thing. Do that machine some justice and get it to a reputable repair shop.

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.
