The high speed needle is hollow and also has tiny holes, the holes need to be clean as well as the inside of the needle. I would then put a "kit" in the carb, adjust the float, put it back together and adjust it as the manual suggests.

Not everyone will agree but I would then time the engine as shown in the tech section here on OCC.

Once running, final adjust the carb according to the manual.

If you feel that the engine is running hot, I would also clean the mouse nests out of the flywheel shroud and engine block cooling fins.

While you're under the hood, also look at the forward side of the engine and see if there appears to be any oily residue coming from in between the cylinder head and the block, it may be time for a new head gasket and to de-carbon the top of the engine and under side of the head. Once clean, sand the head flat (as described in the tech section). A warped head will not seal up and the engine won't run well.

My Brother has been using my 105 for a couple of years now and he just loves it. It is one UGLY machine but it really runs, drives and cuts great.

Thanks for all the information. I'll start by taking apart the carb and soaking it, plus rebuilding it. I've been looking around for a rebuild kit but I can't seem to find one. The carb has two sets of numbers on it one is C-236315 and the other is 235058. None of those return any results for a rebuild kit as far as I've searched. Do you know where I could find a kit for this carb? I'll also take a look to see if the head gasket is leaking, it probably is as the entire block is covered in dried out grease/oil. Again thanks for all the help, I'm looking forward to getting this thing running right soon.

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.
