Kohler k301 runs rich, quits under load
Hi all,
I got a Cub Cadet 1200 last fall that I've been using for snow plowing & hoping to use for mowing in the spring. The problem is when under heavy load it tends to stall or quit. It occurs after running about 10 minutes and especially when in high gear pushing snow. The engine will go from sounding strong to muffled and slow. At that point if I don't play with the throttle and put it in neutral it will usually die. Sometimes it will backfire and/or spit a lot of black smoke out the exhaust. Every time I pull the plug it is black & oily. Once this happens once it tends to happen over & over again until I let it sit a while. So far I have: Replaced points & condenser Installed a new carburetor Tried multiple spark plugs Checked the spark (strong & blue) Changed oil Checked all the wiring Messed with the carb adjustment screws more times than I care to Added mystery oil to the gas I've learned a lot about these engines but it's starting to get a bit frustrating. Not sure what to do next. Any suggestions?

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.
