Hi folks, I"ve got a Cub Cadet with a 16hp Vanguard (320 hrs.) in it and I was mowing for about 10 minutes the other day when it started to cough and sputter. I limped back to the garage and proceeded to clean the air cleaner, change the spark plugs, change the fuel filter, drain the gas tanks, and blow out the fuel line with a compressor.I put in some new gas and it"s the same problem. It starts great when choked and it even sound pretty good with full choke, but as soon as I unchoke it it stalls. I wanted to remove the carb, but I need to remove the intake manifold to do so and I can"t get the housing off of the engine. I"ve removed all of the screws and bolts that I could see, but there must be something else holding it on. Are ther screws down under the accordion tube between the firewall and engine? Any ideas? Am I on the right track here? Does this sound like a carb problem or maybe electrical? Also, one cylinder"s spark plug is wet. Any help would be great. Thanks. Adam Collegeville, Pa.
