Hello:
My 2012 LT1050 Cub Cadet tractor was running fine until the end of last season. I left it sit in my other garage for a couple weeks when it started getting cold. When I tried starting the tractor, it was pouring gas out of the muffler and was totally flooded. I drained all the oil out of it and bought all new stuff, plugs, oil & filter etc. My question is, should I pull the carburetor apart and check the needle/seat and give it a good cleaning? Or could the fuel shutoff solenoid have stuck and let to much gas in and flooded the engine? I appreciate any replies. thanks Randy |

Welcome to Only CubCadets!
I would pull the carb and clean it, sounds like junk in the needle to me. Let us know what you find. Bill |

To add to that very good advice, generally the solenoid is to shut off fuel through the main jet, so as to stop "run-on/backfiring in the muffler and lower emissions, when engine is shut off.
It does not shut off fuel from the tank to carburetor. |

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.
