Default 105 back fire
Hi: I have a Cub Cadet 105 with a 10h Kohler engine. I have done a valve adjustment on it 3 weeks ago and last year gave it a new head gasket. The engine was running fine until recently. I was using it and it started to back fire A LOT. It wasn't a progressively bad thing, it just kinda started one day. It starts really good all the time but back fires and looses power a lot flames come out the exhaust. It's 10 degrees in Minnesota right, now could the temp be something? I'm thinking maybe a bad spark plug.

if choking it helps then it must be a fuel problem, choking would have no effect on an electrical problem.

Yes, the fuel is plugged and it's running lean. This will also cause a backfire. Pull the carb and clean it. Drain the tank, flush the lines and replace any necessary parts.

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.
