I'm totally new to the Cub Cadet 127! This one belonged to my late father in law and had been laid up for about 5 years. I charged the battery, checked the oil, and added some Sea-Foam to the gas. Amazingly it started almost immediately! She chugged a for a moment then settled into a nice idle. So, I attached the mower deck and went at it!

Seemed that under heavy load she'd loose power. If I could disengage the mower, she'd chug along for a moment then resume normal running.

On another thread, I found a similar issue and the cure seemed to be either a dirty carb or the coil was failing. I'm hoping it's the carb. I have removed the carb and it's soaking in Sea-Foam overnight. Hopefully I can get it back together tomorrow and see what happens.

What do the more experienced members think?
