2084 Starting Problem
Have a 2084 that will not start without pouring a little gas in the carb.
It will run great all day after starting and will restart while I am using it. I have changed fuel pumps, but that is not the problem. I have check all fuel lines and the compression line to the fuel pump and can find no problem. It seems like I am losing the fuel that should stay in the carb. Does anyone have any advise. |

Following a hunch, put a battery charger on it before you try to start it cold and see if it will start.

I'm not familiar with your carb, but on some, minute pin holes can develop in the bottom of bowl and fuel seep out.
Also some bowls have a nut, and washer seal in the bottom that can leak. Suggest after the engine cools run your finger under the bowl to check. |

On several occasions when the engine wouldn't start cold, I pulled the top off the carb and it was still full of gasoline. Putting a charger on the battery made it start, instantly. Seems to me, if the battery is a little low, the solenoid won't open and let fuel in but as quick as it starts, full voltage hits and it runs. Don't know if this is correct or not. I'll find out when the weather gets a little warmer. . |

Perhaps your situation was different. But on the 90's CH's, Sam is correct. |

One of my M-18's has an china aftermarket mag coil.
When cold, it turns over slower and will not produce sufficient spark to start. I can warm it up and it starts. Also, closing the plug gap to .020 will lower the starting temp. One of these days I will get a good magneto and eliminate the problem. You could check your spark when it refuses to start. Also some engines will kill the spark if insufficient oil pressure, something else to check if spark is absent. |

I'm thinking that because it fires right off with the priming and stays running, the charge system has picked the voltage up and keeps the solenoid open. Dunno. I've used the battery charger several times and the thing fired right up cold. |

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.
