Default Bringing a 1810 back to life
I have a 1810 that I bought from my brother in law. He was storing it at his house and now he wants it moved. The hour meter shows 408 hours and it will not start, it will run if I pour a little fuel in the carb. It has the Warbro carb on it. It runs real good when it is running, no smoke. I know the carb set up is wrong because when it does run it is like it runs away, the throttle is set to half and it runs way past half. With that amount of hours do you think the a rebuilding is going to help or is a change to a Kohler carb in order? Thanks for the help.

Replacing the carb is a pretty drastic first step. Why not clean out the Walbro and see if that fixes it. If not, move on to the fuel pump which is expensive enough to replace.

If it runs away, it's not the carb, it's the governor. Make sure that's set according to the service manual before you do anything else.

408 hours is nothing if the engine has been well-maintained.

My brother in law had it at my place about 3 years ago and when it was running you could smell gas. It has had a rough life but I know the previous owners and the person who bought it new let it set out. The next owner tried his best to fix and that is where my brother in law got it. The original owner had it on a truck taking it to the scrap yard and the owner previous to my BIL, got it for 50 dollars.

I know after my brother in law got it, someone he knows worked on the carb because everything is clean around it. I guess the cheapest thing to do is to buy a kit for the carb and see if anything was put back wrong and then clean the whole fuel system and go from there. It will be a couple of weeks before I can work on it, this is my OT week, so it is a 70 hour week ahead of me.

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.
