Default k241 back fire
Hey guys. I just got my k241 into my pulling tractor. And I adjusted the carb and it idles fine. Once I get to half throttle it back fire and kills everything. The only thing done to it is .040 off the head. What could be my problem??

Sticking intake valve, intake valve not sealing, timing incorrect, timing may need advanced because of higher compression, running too lean......... your going to have to do some diagnosis. Way too broad of a question. Backfire through the intake is usually too lean. Backfire through the exhaust is too rich. MORE INFO PLEASE!

could be an ignition issue to. do you have the stock coil on it? there's a + & - on the coil. - side should go to the points and the condenser should be on the - also.

Check your carb settings. Go through the manual and set the carb up as it describes.

These are just "preliminary" settings ..... you have to tune it to suit your engine. It's not a "set it and leave it" setting... If it's backfiring out the stack TURN THE FUEL DOWN and see if it helps.

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.
