Default 1882 With M18 Kohler Won't Start

I can not get the ol' 1882 to start now. Leading up to this I was experiencing after an hour of mowing it dying. I could get back on it after an hour and it would start back up and continue mowing. I have spark on both plugs. I have fuel getting to bowl of carb. I can spray starter fluid in carb and it will start and try to run. I have taken carb off and cleaned. No issues with float. Any thoughts from the pros ?

Have you looked at the needle valve in the carb? The starter fluid response sounds like it is a fuel issue rather than anything else. If that needle valve is clogged or if the seat is clogged you will not get any gas to it. Also, see if the float is moving up and down freely. Here is the web site for Matt's carb re-build that may help you.

In addition, you may want to look at the Fuel Pump, screen in the gas tank of the shut off valve, and any Fuel Filters that maybe in line between the tank and the carb.

You can also check the vent valve in the fuel filler cap. Good luck.

Change all the fuel line from the tank to the engine also. The crapahol gas eats the old fuel lines and sometimes the liner will colapse. Ask me how I know.

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.
