KT17 Carb Float Question
I have a 682 with the KT-17 Series II and I think the Walbro carb. It does not have the main adjustment screw, only the low speed one. Anyways, I went to fire it up this year and no start. Figured out it was not getting fuel so I pulled the carb off. When I took the bowl off, I found the bowl dry, float hanging down, with the needle stuck up in the seat. What I found odd is there is no "wire" attaching the float to the needle. Is this correct? Every carb I have took apart has had one. It only has gravity and fuel pressure to push it down. I looked at some microfiche's and I do not see a wire. Oh, and it has a plastic float, not brass if that makes any difference. I mowed for a few hours with it shutting it off a few times with no problems. Then I shut it off for 4 hrs and it was stuck again. Used air on the fuel line that time since I knew what it was. Just curious if I'm missing the wire or if I need to replace the needle & seat.

The Walbro carb on my KT-17 series II has a wire at the needle. Couldn't tell you if a rebuild kit would have one or not.
Perhaps someone may 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.
