I have noticed a slowly progressive reduction in power in my Cub over the last few months.
I used to mow in second gear with its Bush Hog belly mower but yesterday it mowed best in first gear with just a little bit of choke on. It really could not do the job in second gear. It would sputter and die, and then start right up.
It did not want to run in third gear much at all with the PTO off. It used to do this fine.
It idles well and is not producing any smoke.
I am guessing the carb is the problem but carbs are a mystery to me. It has an inline fuel filter off a VW beetle and I know many folks here think the inline filters stink but it was running fine with it before.
Help.
