cub cadet 149 questions
I have a cub cadet 149 that, when warm outside starts up immediately. It runs great with no smoke(blue or black). When it gets to 40 degrees. It will get to the top of the compression stroke and quit, then begin to turn again. If you are lucky you can get it to fire.also, when its running and you remove the dipstick you can feel alot of pressure coming out. Never enough to pop the dipstick off. My 2 questions are:1. Can the starter be losing torque or is the starter a "works or it doesn't" thing? The battery and terminals are new and tight. How much, if any, blowby is normal? It burns no oil and no blue smoke.

it could be allot of things. obviously as temp goes down oil in the crankcase and the hydro get thicker, battery loose's cranking amps and a worn starter/gen can cause issues. poor grounds, weak connections all make it worse. if I remember right that for the QL there was a cold start kit or clutch available for cold temps that was mounted in line of the driveshaft so you could disconnect the hydro while cranking. one thing you could check is the adjustment of the comp release. theres a spec in the manual. it could be off slightly and still start in warmer weather. also check your point gap. to far advance will cause hard starting or keep it from getting over the top on the comp stroke. there is a spec for crankcase preassure. in the kohler manual there are directions to make your own water manometer and how to use it. hope this helps. at least it gives you someplace to start.

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.
