Cub won't stay running
I'm having issues with keeping my cub running. It starts and runs fine for about one minute and then it dies. It restarts right away and then dies again after about a minute. Even at higher idle it still dies. Thanks for your thoughts and advise on this.

Sounds like a clogged jet.

Re: Cub won't stay running
Yeah, I checked that. It's good. I'll take another look just to be sure

Re: Cub won't stay running
You should have a steady stream of fuel. Check by removing bottom plug on carb. If not...
Check fuel inlet to sediment bowl in tank.
Check sediment bowl screen.
Check carb inlet screen.

Re: Cub won't stay running
"float hanging up in closed position". This could be the problem, I'll check that tomorrow. This would make sense because it acts like it's running out of fuel.

Re: Cub won't stay running
Is the carb bent in the float area. Sometimes the previous owner whacked them, with a tool handle, or worse, to free a sticking float. I've seen some, quite dented, enough to stop the float movement.
