Default Cub Cadet 80

Hey guys, I have many Cub Cadets, but one that i'm working on right now is a Cub Cadet 80. I have several carburetors for it, but the original one got messed up. The choke flap inside the carb kept on flapping repeatedly, and it wouldn't run right. So I took a carb off of a parts tractor of mine, a Cub Cadet 81. The carb works, but now that the the choke flap doesn't move on its own, the tractor will only run for a short period of time. I have been adjusting the amount of fuel it gets, and it seems to work, but it will still run for only a short period of time. I have cleaned this carburetor. I need to find a way to get it running right. I can start it, but again, it will only run for 10-20 seconds at the very most. If anyone knows how to get it running right, please give me any info! If you have any info, please email me at:

Sounds like you have a fuel restriction somewhere. Did you check the fuel pickup inside the tank? Does fuel flow freely to the carb? If the line to the tank is clear, then I'd look at the carb float or bowl fill valve sticking.

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.
