Yes sir she's got a hole drilled in the cap, and I can see day light thru it. When I got the tractor it had a 1/4" od copper tubing fuel line with compression fittings. I replaced it with new 1/4" od copper tubing. The inside diameter is a bit over 1/8". I guess I'll replace the copper with larger id hose and maybe that will correct the issue.

1/4" OD Copper Line is just fine. Is there some sort of Fuel Filter (Gravity type) between the Tank outlet and Carb inlet..??

How about a picture of your new tank setup?
Regarding the copper fuel line.... Any kinks along the length will likely starve the fuel. Did you deburr or ream the ends of tube after you cut it to length? I prefer the rubber hose on my tractors.

I don't remember if I reamed the tubing after cutting. There is no filter only a fuel shutoff valve, tee, dirt leg and a drain valve. Like I said before this stall problem was present the day I bought it home. I'm going to increase the fuel line diameter.

Lets try something:
turn fuel off, then remove the fuel line @ the carb, and then turn the fuel on and see what the flow is, going into a catch can. It looks like your plumbing is not getting you enough down hill flow, but pix's can give a false scene sometimes. Also you could try removing the tank clamps and holding it up higher and starting the engine to see if it is still running out of fuel when you advance the throttle. Oh, I like the tank you made,--- inventive BTDT |

I agree with George.

I agree with the others here. It sounds like a fuel delivery issue. I'd do what George said in his last post. That fuel line looks plenty big enough.

I installed a new 5/16" id fuel hose. When its disconnected from the carburetor and fuel valve open fuel just pours out the hose. Also installed new coil, copper core spark plug lead, readjusted the valves, and timed/set the points with a timing light. The stalling problem is just as bad as before. I attached a separate 12 v battery to the + terminal on the coil after removing the existing coil power wire. Engine still did the same thing. Could the engine be so wore out that it just gives up after a minute or two?

Sounds like it's flooding itself.
Had a fellow in my shop w couple weeks ago w/a 1200 He had the carb so screwed up, main needle was 4-1/2 turns out for starters. It was doing the same thing as yours. Is it blowing fuel out of the carb? Or blowing black smoke when this happens? |

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.
