Default 122 will start but won't take throttle...
I recently rebuild the carburator on my 122 and after reinstalling it and putting in a new battery, it started right up. I only ran it for a short while gave it full throttle a couple of times.

It is now very finicky with the throttle and if you try to give it more throttle it shakes the tractor profusely.

any thoughts???

Could be that the Carb is set too lean.

I set the high-speed at two turns out and the idle at a turn and a half out. It seemed to be to rich to me and I was attempting to lean it out.

You may be correct with your to lean comment. I thought is was to rich because of the gassey exhaust. This is my first time tuning a carb and it isn't as simple as I thought it might be.

Any progress?

One thing that I've done, had a similar situation where it started really hard, wouldn't accellerate off idle, thought I had carb issues.... turned out I had knocked the condensor wire from the coil.

Hooked it back up, runs like a champ!

Probably not your problem, but its something that I will not overlook again!

I would second checking the condenser. The bolt holding mine vibrated lose while blowing snow, only could ideal the engine and anything else would either stale or vibrate horribly.

Could the condensor be bad??

I thought it was the carb as well and rebuilt it but it was pretty clean when I took it appart. Sounds very similar to your situation.

I changed the settings to the carb and that has helped but it still doesn't run great. I think it still needs a good precise adjusting.

I may change out the condensor as well.

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.
