FWIW:
The the fuel shutoff solenoid does multiple things beside helping to eliminate soiling yer britches when it backfires.

The EPA had a hand in it to prevent raw fuel from entering the combustion chamber, adding about as much pollution as a flea fart.
Also it tends to prevent "dieseling" which is the engine continuing to run-on, after the spark is stopped because the combustion chamber is hot enough to cause ignition (usually called preignition)

So now you know all the reasons for it.
Its a good device when it works

I guess I have been fortunate with all of my older machines. None of them have ever backfired after a shutdown. Of course, I idle all of them down for a brief period before shutting them down. It's a short cool down. It's the little things like this that make the difference. Also, I engage the electric PTO's at a low engine speed, then place the engine to full throttle to mow.

I worked the 1712/1812 for about 3 hours today. It didn't have a hiccup at all.

I do need to back the idle screw out, just a touch though.

Tomorrow, I'll run it for a few minutes, then do another oil change. Then it will be ready for normal duty.

Interesting stuff!

I'm thinking this one is gunked up, from sitting for 3 years or so.

As you know, I have a 782. I have run both the Kohler and Walbro adjustable Carbs. Although the Walbro adjustable is better than the Walbro fixed jet, I'll take a Kohler (Carter) any day.

It has a place, but it also adds a new failure point
Beats a manual shutoff for accessibility, though.

I don't think Carter ever made a bad design Carb!
From a little 2 hp Briggs, to the larger 4 barrel carbs on cars/trucks.
Simple and effective.
I've been around them since the 50's

I worked the 'ol girl for about 1.5hrs tonight. Brought her inside and gave her a compressed air bath. Then did a oil and filter change......the second one in less than 5hrs of use.

I changed the oil and filter before I started it the first time Saturday. And it was already very black, so it might take a few changes, to get the M18 cleaned out.

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.
