Hi I have an IH cub cadet 1250 with a Kohler 12hp single cylinder cast iron block has over 2000hours on it and it burns a little oil I love mowing my grass with it but last week when I was cutting grass it was dieing out like it wasn't getting any fuel so I figured it was the fuel filter I replaced it still did the same thing but smoking alot of blue smoke more than it usually did I figured the carb needed cleaning so I tore it down and put it in carb cleaning solution and left it soak for a week pulled it out cleaned it installed a new kit and reassembled and installed it and started it up let warm up a Bit and adjusted the carb to where it sounded good starting mowing about 15mins later it was back to doing the same thing I tried readjusting the carb didn't help any I even tried the carb from my 1450 and it didn't help smokes lots of blue smoke and dies it always does it at half throttle up to full throttle I'm wondering if I have a busted ring due to the number of hours that are on it because the problem is still there no what carb is on it
