Before you go tearing the engine apart i would thoroughly clean the carbureator, if it is really gummed up just spraying it out might not get it all. My 149 had been setting for several years and was really varnished up bad. I took it off and sprayed carb cleaner through every thing i could, It would start and run then, but not great. like you said it ran like it was starving for fuel or air. I took it off again and completly disassembled it. Even the little round plugs were removed so i could clean the tiny little holes behind them. You have to be sure to get the right carb kit that has all the parts you will need. But it really made a huge difference in how mine runs. Just my :TwoCents

Same old problem · IH Cub Cadet Tractors

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
