Default 1450 Running Rough
While mowing yesterday my 1450 started popping and running badly. Found if I pulled out the choke halfway it would run well enough to finish mowing. What should I go look for to get this running good again. Thanks for the help.

The first thing I would do is check the fuel lines for proper flow. Second would be to check the float.

the best guess i have is to check your lines clean your carb then run lots of fuel treatments through it after you clear the carb.. but only use as much as the bottle says... i would use sea foam the most, but after u get her running good again buy a whole big bottle of lucas fuel system treatment put some of that in there every time u fill up for the best results.

keep us posted

I don't recommend a constant barrage of fuel system treatments. 1.) Unnecessary/ waste of $$. 2.) There is such a thing as "too much of a good thing" It can foul plugs. 3.) It's not necessary. Oh, and did I mention it's not necessary?

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.
