Don,

Is this something that you do on all tractors or just on your pulling tractors?

Thanks

just engines where we advance the timing and put enough compression in to cause starting problems

I can see that. I am having more trouble starting mine now. Plan to add the switch next weekend.

Default Removing Choke
When removing the choke, what do you use to fill the holes in the carburetor? I was thinking JB Weld or silicone. Thanks

Added the switch and it works well. Went to the pull tonight and noticed my engine was detonating when pulling hard. I adjusted the carburetor by 1/4 turn to make it richer. It helped but didn't get rid of the pinging. Plan to back off the timing by 2 degrees and use premium gas. Am I heading in the right direction?

I am at 20. Just got through timing at 18 and 16. 16 is definitely too low. Think I'll go back to 20 and just use better gas. At 20 it sounds like pots clanging together at the end of the pull. It wasn't as bad when I increased the fuel mixture though.

Put it back to 20. Starts easily with no hint of firing before TDC. It has to be the fuel. Been using some 87 non alcohol fuel with Seafoam added.

Gapping the points. Get back to you on the main jet.

Main jet is out 1- 3/4 turns.

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.
