Before you try to set the carb... make sure the timing is spot on. I spent several hours trying to set the carb right on my 1650... and all I needed was to set the timing. Just pointing that out...

Improper timing isn't going to make the exhaust smell like raw gas.

Well, I used the 982 for about 2 hours steady tonight with very little problems. I am thinking it is just finally getting itself straightened out. I turned it off 3 times in that 2 hours and when I fired it up each time, no smoke...smelt raw fuel once in the 2 hours. Everything was fine with it...no hesitation, idled good, lots of power (mind you I was only pulling an spring tine areator) but up and down hills no problems. I think it just needs to be worked a bit. The guy I bought it from didn't have a very big lot and I don't think he owned it long either, so it didn't get a lot of use - but I am just speculating that!

Also just keep in mind that these older L-head engines aren't as efficient or as clean-burning as the newer V-twins and are going to smell a bit.

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.
