What was wrong with the sediment bowl? They are better than a filter.....

I went through the carb again, filled tank 3/4 way, got rid of the old sediment bowl setup, added a clear in-line filter, and it fired up.
I think most of us have an embarrassing time or two or 3, but that is life.
If a person does something, mistakes are made, better than doing nothing.
Glad it is running for you!

It leaked fuel when opened up all the way. The fuel would slowly weep past the threads no matter how tight it was torqued. It was the original one and I think it was just worn out. I'll get another one, as I really liked having it.

My sediment bowl petcock on my 105 leaked also, when opened all the way. So I took it out and put two small "O" rings in. So far so good. Been that way for a couple months and it don't leak yet.

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.
