Default Engine problems

I went to another pull this Saturday and did okay. But my engine wasent running the best. When I would idle it up all way it would pop quit often. I know it's not right but I am not sure what it is. Any ideas?

When you say "pop" I assume you mean backfire. Was it out the intake? Or exhaust? Backfiring through the intake indicates a lean condition. Out the exhaust, a rich condition. It also could be timing. Did it do it just idling? Or under load? More info please.

The backfire is comeing out of the exhaust. All I have done since last pull was adjust the idle and it ran fine for a while and then when I went to pull it started doing this. If it is timeing how do I tell?

Still need more info. What carb? Did you try adjusting the carb to get the backfire out? Start checking stuff. Where did you set the timing? Is it still where you set it? You won't know if it is a timing problem unless you check the timing. It is possible you even burnt an exhaust valve.

It's a standard Koehler 10 horse carb. I think Koehler 26 carb but not Sure. I have not tried adjusting the carb or the timing

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.
