Sounds like a plan. Do you add any Mystery oil and or fuel stabilizer to your gas? Seems like when I don't is when I have fuel problems.

Good luck.

I add Marvel Mystery Oil and Stabil gasoline stabilizer. Proper fuel storage habits are important too. No open containers!

Fuel additives are a big "hot topic" here. Some people swear by them, some of us (myself included) never use them. I wouldn't get too excited about it. It doesn't sound to me like it is a fuel stabilization issue.

It is suppose to eliminate that dreaded unexpected backfire
But myself, I don't use additives.

I don't use any additives in my tractors and they always start after sitting all winter.

Default Carbon build up
Okay, so I have it running. I have a guy coming over to help me adjust the carb.

Is there a way to remove the carbon build up off the valves and probably the piston (P.O. says he replaced it) without removing the head? I'll probably remove the head later and clean it up right but I'm confused as to why the P.O. didn't do that when he had the head off to replace the piston and arm (he says he did this) I mean when you already go through the trouble to tear it down, why not go ahead and do a valve job and clean everything up. The guy that sold it to me is a very nice 80+ year old man but I'm beginning to question his judgment.

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.
