K301 Loosing power
I'm totally new to the Cub Cadet 127! This one belonged to my late father in law and had been laid up for about 5 years. I charged the battery, checked the oil, and added some Sea-Foam to the gas. Amazingly it started almost immediately! She chugged a for a moment then settled into a nice idle. So, I attached the mower deck and went at it!
Seemed that under heavy load she'd loose power. If I could disengage the mower, she'd chug along for a moment then resume normal running. On another thread, I found a similar issue and the cure seemed to be either a dirty carb or the coil was failing. I'm hoping it's the carb. I have removed the carb and it's soaking in Sea-Foam overnight. Hopefully I can get it back together tomorrow and see what happens. What do the more experienced members think?

Soaked the carb overnight, reassembled it today. Ran for a bit then the same thing under load. She also seemed to be running quite hot, not just today. Not sure if this is normal or not. Seems to be hotter than it should be.

Thanks Matt.
I just have 2 questions:Do you have a photo from further back of the points cover. I'm not sure where to find that on the engine.How do I turn the engine by hand? I'm pretty new at small engine repairs. I have done some work on my motorcycle (not really) so I figure that if I can figure out where things are I might be able to make them worse

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.
