cub problem

Posted by Nat on October 02, 2005 at 14:12:39 from (204.116.133.227):

I bought an old cub from a man locally. It hadn't been run for 3 months, but with clean fuel and a starter switch, she fired right up and idled good. I let it idle for a while and reved it up, still ran great. I shut it off, confidant in the way it ran, and procceded to paint it, cause the owners grandson started to paint it with rattle cans in a strange orange colour. I put new decal on it and re-installed the cultivators. After a couple days I started it up and again it ran great, so I took it for a spin around the shop area. It started sputtering and cutting off I had to pull the choke out to keep it running. I finnally got it back to the shop, and sitting there it again runs great. I grabbed the sterring columm and shook it pretty hard and it started spitting and sputtering again. I took the carb off and tried to clean it , but couldn't see anything a-miss. I put it back on and fired it up and it runs great, till I shake it and it starts spitting and sputtering again. Does anyone have any ideas? It don't make any sense to me how it can run so good sitting still, but spit and sputter if shaken. I cchecked the wiring and found no problem, but I didn't thing it was electrical anyway, as pulling out the choke helped. I'm puzzled and need some help. Thanks, Nat
