Default Won't run right
My 109 won't run right, I've been doing a lot of plowing snow, and all the sudden tonight, it wont run right. I adjusted the carb, cleaned the plug, and checked the point gap, still not fixed. Anyone thinking water in the gas? I'm just going pull the carb and clean it, because its still snowing here. any other ideas?

Please elaborate on 'won't run right'...that could mean a hundred different things. Won't stay running? Runs rough? etc. We could list a bunch of stuff for you to check, but help us narrow it down a bit.

OK I've cleaned the carb, put water remover in the gas, cleaned the plug, set the points, and it still wont run right. Ive adjusted the carb to the specs and adjusted both ways from there when it is warm. Should i get a new spark plug? I'm thinking it's somewhere in the ignition system. coil, condenser, i don't know. I'll look at it after church.

If it starts right up, no problem, I don't think you have ignition problems.

Is the governor working?? I would check that 1st.

Next I would check the fuel flow. Perhaps partially pluuged line, or tank outlet, not providing enough fuel.

I assume it isn't blowing black smoke??

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.
