Those paper fuel filters can be a problem. Fine metal screen ones are the way to go.

Oh yeah no doubt. They are far superior

My Dear,
You have the patience of Job & are Totally Amazing!!! Well Done!!!
👍💯♥️

[@ProductiveLiving20]

Thank you

[@GrumpyXer]

I had a clogged fuel cap vent causing problems. Poked a hole through it and that fixed it.

[@ProductiveLiving20]

I thought that’s what was wrong with this one at one point

[@alvinelliott392]

IM exhausted after watching that! haha. You have a gift my friend.

[@ProductiveLiving20]

Oh no.!!! Well. Maybe now you can take a break and recover.

[@kriegmeister1]

This is what you get when Cub Cadet is just a name.

[@bidensman8453]

You are a great mechanic and very conscientious. I have a similar problem on my Cub Cadet Enduro X2, I will try replacing the filter first. I see you trimmed the skinny nozzle on both ends of the filter, which I never did before. Thank you for all you do!

You know whose it is

Hey Patrick,I wish i would have saw this when you made it. I have the same mower and i had the same problem.

[@ProductiveLiving20]

Oh. Do you think it’s a common problem?

[@jeffharris2019]

I guess i was wrong. Mine did did the same thing. It ran for a short time and sputtered and died. If you push the throttle all the way up its like a choke, but you have to push it back down after it starts.

[@ProductiveLiving20]

Oh I see. Yeah this gas tank had debris in it causing it to run too lean. It took me longer than maybe it should have but I did figure it out. 😂

[@jameshermenitt5656]

It is a coil issue

[@ProductiveLiving20]

I thought so too but it ended up being the gas tank had debris in it clogging the fuel supply.
