Something stinks!
Folks I need some help. I have been both blessed AND cursed with a complete loss of sense of smell, (ie: things like my crap DON'T stink, matter of fact nobodies does!). Anyway, after cleaning up the 1210 for winter storage, (it'll trade places with a snowmobile up on the shelf in the garage THIS winter), my wife says she can smell a strong order of gas and I can find NO visible leaks. Is it possible for the fuel cap/gauge to fail internally and allow fumes to escape? It normally stays out back in the shed where she never goes, and since I can't smell anything, it therefore may have been like this for a long time. Gas consumption is normal as well to back up the "no fuel leak" but fuel smell problem. Thanks for any input.

My suggestion is that you should drain both the carb and the fuel tank for long term storage. One, for ethanol gas related problems like corrosion and two, for safety reasons such as the gas fumes (smell). Reason three would be to keep things happy at home. Happy wife, happy life!

The best way to find a leak would be to use a lighter or a match.

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.
