Purring like a kitten, good job DW
Don't know if you still see the comments, but wanted to let you know that this video saved A LOT of frustration. I had the same problem with my Cub Cadet. Same model and everything. I don't work on engines other than basic maintenance, but this video helped me overcome my fear of carburetors/cleaning them out. Now my lawnmower is running Great again. Thanks for taking the time to make this video and all your knowledge and willingness to help us all out.
love your videos very helpful always love the way you tell us what exactly you re doing and the way you have the camera angles just perfect thanks much
You are so welcome
Another great and helpful video by Bob. Great job!!
Great work. After the spark check I said to myself yes another carb clean coming up. Great job.
Great point!
Perfect video for me. I may have the same problem brewing in my cub. Thanks for the video.
Glad it helped. Good luck with yours.
Thank you. You've covered everything My cub cadet was doing. I'm going to clean the carburetor. I check the other already. Thanks Roy
Nice job, 👍👍. That lift makes a big difference!
Yes it does!
Good info on cab cleaning
Excellent!
Nice job. Enjoyed.
Glad you enjoyed it
I never knew you had a lift? That's awesome.
Yes about 3 months I have had the lift it is working out well for me.
the fumbling around with the spark plug and then the compression tester, made me start cutting myself again.....lol
job well done
Excellent
Another great video - many thanks. What about those pliers for pushing the hoses off the gas filter - nifty.
Nice machine now I’ll know what might can happen to my sisters she just bought this mower it will be nice to be able to trouble shoot if it has problems
For a Quick assessment of a engine , I use Prime for a Good Time . If the engine does not start when cranking , I spray some carb cleaner into the carb then try to crank , usually it will run for a few seconds on the prime . This checks , compression , mechanical timing , Ignition timing ,ignition function . All in 10 seconds .If there is no start then start with the separate system tests . You can use any priming fuel you like . This works for any type of engine two or four stroke . Just trying to save you some time .
Thanks for the tip. Main problem was dirty carb and water in fuel on this one.
good job !!!!!!!!!!
A tip, have a handheld mirror in the shop and you can use that to check for spark.
I have a mirror good tip.
very nicely done. I'm having that exact problem. It started last time I mowed and had to run with choke on for most of the yard and now it won't start, so I guess I will try what you showed and find out if that works. Thanks for a good video.
Good video
Thanks for the visit
He must store the mower outside with that much rust in carb! Good job!
Great point! He does I believe.
Nice fix. I have a husqvarna and a troy bilt with the same engine. Only real issue i've had with both of them is the oil drain valve leaking and all i did to fix that was put some thread sealant tape on them and haven't had any leaks since then. Looked like the fuel in tank had water in it but it could just be me
Yes, it did have water in it. That is why it had a hard time firing at first.
Good fix. I watched close because I have one like that with the same engine. I just don't have all the right tools for small carb work.👍👍
Thanks for sharing
Most generally if your keeping it running by using carb cleaner and the bowl has fuel in it then it's needle and seat.. I usually replace needle and seat clean carb starts and runs fine..
I've never seen it done quite like that before. !
Well now you have.
My neighbor's Cub Cadet XT riding mower has been in my shoo about 5 times in 2 years for problems. The reliability of this mower is in question in my opinion.
How long have you had your lift and do you like it? Looking for one just like the one you have. Is it free floating or bolted to concrete?
The lift is the Handy SAM lift. On wheels and removable. lifts 1500lbs, and comes delivered. I like the 39" total height for working as a workbench. Yes well worth the money if you work on equipment all the time.
Great video, but I do have a question?
You must not live in an area with a homeowners association,
I would think there would be at least one so in so who would not want you working on lawnmowers as a business out of your garage,
Take care and keep up the good work,
thanks for the video. @27:07 wouldn't a torch tip cleaner open the pilot jet too big?
Yeah, those Kohler carbs are easy to work on.
I was actually dumb enough to put my fuel filter on backwards, and I had nothing but problems once I turned it the right way it’s like a brand new mower
I always use lung pressure to check that the needle seats well enough to stop the gas flow, and make sure it opens, when the float drops.
My Cadet was doing the same thing. After changing air filter, and the fuel filter. It would run for a few minutes, and die. My problem was simply not having the fuel cap not tight enough, it requires the cap to turn , and make three clicks to be tight enough, and the air vent in the cap to work to work. Thank you for your chanel
I didn't know the cap had to be on to run.
The cap not put on correctly created a vapor lock in the tank. If you loosen the cap after it stops gas trys to.come out at the cap. The mower will probably run with the cap off. I didn't try it. All I know is that I had a cup or better of fuel being pushed out the top of the tank which gave me a clue as to my problem.
@@doublewide6 I guess it was kind of a vapor lock in the tank. With the cap not on correctly pressure build up in the tank. When I loosened the cap fuel was putshed out of the tank at the fill cap. I thought I had a bad cap, but when I put the cap back on I remembered to tighten it to the third click. ( after you get the cap on and.have done a few turns of the cap the cap will make a clicking noise, at the third click it should be tightened properly. ) beats rebuilding the carb, and still have the problem. Have a great week.
how did you lock the clutch down to start engine on the ramp?
Mine was an easy fix, my gas cap was too tight . i loosened the cap and never had that problem of stalling again.
Thanks for the video. I'm having an issue I can't figure out can you please help? This one will mow for 15 minutes or so then die and will restart right away and doesn't need to be in choke. When I got it there was a ton of junk in the tank and the pep cock was clogged the fuel lines were dry rotten so I cleaned the the tank replaced fuel line filter fuel pump and cleaned carb and its still doing it. The customer said another shop replaced the coil. I put a new plug in and changed the oil cuz it had water in it. Valves are good. What am I missing?
Where did you find that bench grinder with the drill chuck? That would come in handy.
Found at the scrap yard, Modified to fit brass wheel and drill check. The threads were perfect for the 3/8" drill chuck.
Nice fix, I had four of those quick change oil valves on the Kohler's this year and all were leaking, A standard metric socket will not fit between the frame and oil fitting. I made a wrench for it or you can use a crow foot wrench to tighten them in. They are loose from the factory. Thanks for the video. P.S. Where did you purchase the lift??? thanks
I use a chissel to tighten the oil valve if I can't get a wrench on it. I am making a video on the lift in the near future. MileX lifts online is where it came from. Handy Sam lift.
Kohler 7000 Series seems to be a better engine. Real sensative to water in the gas, though. Got a Mr. Funnel, took care of THAT !!!
How many hours does this Cub Cadet have? I got a Brand New Cub Cadet XT1 about a month ago and I love it so far
125 hours
For anyone wanting to know what size wrench to get the electronic needle off the bottom of the bowl it’s a 13mm
Great video but I believe that fuel filter is for an engine that has a fuel pump
You are correct. I like these better and I have not had a problem with them not working.
I use the same filters in my mowers without a fuel pump and they work just fine
Hey doblewide6! Great video! What would you charge a job that?
I ended up flushing the stale fuel as well. It came in at $220 including tax, pickup and delivery with trailer both ways.
👍
i gotta ask was that 88 on the fuel filter the last time they changed it also was the air filter dirty.
88 hours on machine, the air filter was clean I did blow out though.
Those darn Cub Cadets are notorious for bad fuel pumps.
This one does not have a fuel pump.
Well that was one Kohler Courage that didn't need the bolts tighten up on the sump cover it looks like
Yeah got to always check them. I don't see too many that actually come loose, but I saw Taryls video on them loosening up.
What lift table are you using?
Handy SAM lift table.
Nice lift . was it worth the money?
It was about $1800 delivered. It is going to be worth it because I had 81 tractors through the shop last year. It also works great as a work bench at 39"
@@doublewide6 make and model of the lift please
Had mine for 1.5 years and it started cutting off on me about 2 months ago. At first it cut off after using 30-45 mins, then 20-15, then to 10-5 mins. It still starts but will cut off. My buddy disconnected the intellipower knob and the motor doesn't cut off and will just keep running and cutting in idle..which would mean its not a mechanical failure. I guess it's electrical or maybe I need to replace the intellipower module/assembly. I wasn't expecting a problem like this with my CC.
I don't know about that module, not sure if this tractor has it or not. Good luck.
I like your lift, what brand is it?
It is a handy SAM lift I will be making a review video so hopefully.
@@doublewide6 that would be great I'm in the market for a lift like that for lawn tractors.
Nice blue air hose attachment , is that hard to find.
From Harbor Freight
Good to see you again. How is your little boy?
He is doing really well playing football, baseball, and just celebrated his 13th Birthday. Thanks for asking. Bob
I was nervous seeing you using that big hammer repairing a carburetor..😢
I’m having the same problem with mine. It will start and run for a while then dies after mowing for a bit. I have replaced the oil, oil filter, spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter, two gas lines, carb, fuel pump, cleaned gas tank, but still having this problem. I don’t know what to do at this point.
How do u like that electric ratchet? What brand is it?
Milwaukee M12 I have the 3/8 and the 1/4" they are time savers and pay for themselves. I really like them. amzn.to/3A5Zgzg
follow the link to it. Thanks. Bob
Testing spark with an eminently flammable mix of gas and air shooting over it seems a little risky.
My mower starts fine it runs normal when not cutting it just cuts off when the blades engaged and it's under load. Happened last time I cut too but eventually it just went away 😅 any ideas? Thanks
Did you actually fix the guy's problem? My tractor was doing the same thing, but it starts great, it just sputters and stalls 10-15 min into the job. I did all the same steps and I even replaced the carb because they no longer sell carb kits!?!? The tractor ran well for the first 25 min then it went back to sputtering and stalling. I guess the fuel pump is the next thing to check and replace?
I would love to be able to work in my garage without nosy neighbor distractions
I get quite a few stopping in whenever they see me out there.
WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF PROBEMS WITH OUR CUB CADET RIDING MOWER NOOT STARTING.
The root of the problem is always the same...
The cub cadet throttle mechanism doesn't move the throttle mechanism far enough to fully apply the choke.
We finally did a work around (adjusted the throttle to choking well before the expected point on the throttle level
Video marker 17:55
That's what she said !!!
Probably has a kill switch when grass backs up into the blades !
Never had a float pin so hard too remove.
A definite sign of water in the carb. I ended up draining the fuel tank on this one (not shown in video but gas looked very yellow in color,
@@doublewide6 i noticed it. Had the same problem before
Your mower is my favorite
In an old brigs shop manual- it shows how make a spark tester out of a piece of wood and 2 screws-- I have made several- they work- very simple to make
Never seen a float holding pen stuck ever water in it or not
At least its crankin! No schitt sherlok
If float pin frozen it goes into acid for 2/3 hours
Clean the carb ,and it will run,I would put a new carb on it
why would you check for spark when you know the engine will run the title says stalling while cutting so it means its getting spark
You seem smart. What do you think the issue on my mower might be. It’s starts on choke but stalls in like 10 seconds. I can start it not in choke and it runs fine, but curious why when I’m choke it stalls and spits out white smoke. I know nothing about mowers or engine really.
Try putting fuel in tank?
Why doesn't anybody talk about the fuel shutoff on the carb that was the reason mine would run about 10 minutes before shutting off .
I'm ready for mine to give me any problems,so I can junk it and get something else
I say the cable on the intake is probably out of wack
It was fine.
@@doublewide6 I saw that you were able to get it in running condition be safe out there Young Man 😎👍
MTD
Vavle need adjust
Not a big fan of the newer Cubbees, all style and no substance … and WAYYY overpriced new. I am even less of a fan of the Courage. They should have just continued on with the Command.
I agree with both those statements.
Bad fuel pump!!
What a piss poor "mechanic". First rule of thumb to turning wrenches is to actually turn a wrench before putting an impact on it and just gunning it. I'm sure you've broken off enough screws to already know that though. The second rule of thumb is to diagnose 1st, not throw parts at it 'hoping' to fix the issue.
Had you been paying attention to proper diagnosis you would have known that jet was clogged before you ever removed the carb. You could have fixed the issue without removing the carb body and saved yourself a can a carb cleaner. Even blind squirrels find a nut on occasion.
As a parts dealer I do thank you though. Keep that cannon firing for me.
Where is ur channel then? Mister "pro" u get paid for repairs? Didnt think so... "mechanic"? Its a mower... no computer chips to tell u what's wrong...
I thought it wasnt a parts cannon , i call it general neglect/maintence ...it happens alot
Hey bro, I was referred to you.I have a club Cadet and as soon as it heats up it stalls.I have no clue what's causing the issue.If you have an idea I would greatly appreciate it.Thanks bro.
