I bought a '57 Cub lo-boy 2 years ago, and used it approx. 6 weeks mowing, then it started to act as you describe.I did the fuel strainer routine, I did the basic carb rebuild, seemed to be fine for about 2 cuttings, then same business, after 1 too many cups of coffee one saturday night I decided to end the mystery, armed with another carb rebuild kit, I went at it.I had been told that the carb was a new rebuild installed only as a last resort to make my delivery. I had faith., Well, as fate would have it,the person who rebuilt it was a butcher(HACK). I had found that the reason it would only run choked was because of an internal leak in the gasket between the upper and lower halves.I cleaned the two pcs well and checked for flatness,I had a 1/16 inch rock in the lower(float) section. After alittle tapping with a plastic hammer and some filing, with a fine cut file I was able to mate the two pcs, however, I used a liquid sealer on both sides of the bowl gasket, let it set up for about 15 min., then assembled, put the rest of the unit back together and let it set and cure overnight.I haven't had a problem since.There are other things not correct with the carb (a IH dealer rebuild )that I won't mention, but she runs well and I learned a few things. Hope this helps and sorry it's so long. Good luck-TractorChuck-
