Angry 2185 problem

When warmed up my 2185 pops and loses power (misfires) at full power setting. This happens when mowing or pulling a load. The carb has never been touched. It has the Magnum 18 Kohler twin.

Sounds like you have a dirty fuel system. Are you sure it is a mag? The 2185 had a Command from the factory, has yours been repowered?

2185 is a CH18.

I am having a similar engine condition in my 1864, Kohler Command 18 hp. Engine would run near governed RPM under light load. At higher load, high uncut grass requiring full engine power, the engine acted like running out of fuel. I pulled the fuel tank and cleaned. Did not have much solids. However, tank valves were packed with junk. I am guessing fuel pump could not supply required delivery to the engine. Currently replacing all fuel hoses, fuel filter, grommets and cleaned angle valves/tank. We'll assess when reassembled after parts arrive.

Both of these tractors are at the age when the fuel system should be gone through from front to back. Pull the fender pan and tank. Clean the tank and shut off valves (2185 doesn't have shut offs) replace ALL of the fuel line and filter and clean the carb.

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.
