Fuel leak
My 125 leaks a little bit of gas every once in a while. The glass bowl is wet and the gas drips onto the coil and then in the plywood floor of my shed. I thought that I fixed it last week when I removed and cleaned the glass bowl, made sure the O ring was seated properly and tightened it all up. It held for a while, but last night I could smell the gas from the shed when I was out in the yard with the dog. I closed the valve last night and I think the leak is stopped. Because the whole assembly was wet with gas it is hard to tell where it is coming from. It might be from where the sediment bowl threads into the tank. Maybe its the shut off valve, the gasket again? This is my only Cub and I've only had it for about 4 1/2 months so I haven't learned all the usual trouble spots yet. Is there one component more likely than the others to fail? I did have the tank, sediment bowl, fuel pipe. and carburetor off a few months ago. Should I have used some kind of sealer or tape on the threads when I put it back together? I know I would need to seal with something that the gas would not eat through.

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.
