Default 2084 - Fuse Question and Oil In Carb

I had a no-start problem, traced it to the fuse that is next to the battery, just a red and black wire terminating in a fuse block. I have a 30 amp fuse in it, just read in the 2086 thread that this should be 20 amp. The fuse was powering the starter circuit, but when I wiggled it I seem to have powered up the ignition circuit as well (doesn't make sense, but I saw it happen!). Started right up after that, but the fuse block got very hot, though the 2 wires stayed cool.

So, not sure why that would heat up that much once running. I plan to put a 20 amp fuse in and see if it holds.

The 2nd thing was oil dripping out of the breather hose at the carb while running, a drop every few seconds. I feel like I just read about this somewhere here but can't remember the cause, or fix.

YES, the correct fuse for your model is a 20 Amp fuse.

This fuse protects the entire electrical system except the Starter Circuit (Battery to Starter).

If you have wires or a device that gets hot, you have either (A) a short in the wiring or device, or (B) there is a "high resistance" connection somewhere in the area of the "hot".

Thanks for the comments Roland. I'll look for shorts though I'd think any short would take out the fuse. Then I think I'll do the following: First, replace the fuse with a 20 amp and see if it holds. Next, replace the fuse block itself with a new one, I had to wiggle the fuse when I re-inserted it to get power so maybe the heat is just the block itself not making solid connection.

Any idea why the breather is pushing out oil? I searched a bit more here, saw the comments on checking for blockage and vacuum, but how could I have vacuum if it's pushing oil out? I don't appear to have much blowby at the oil filler cap or dipstick. By the way, even with the dripping oil, the tractor runs very well.

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.
