I sure don't claim to know it all, but can sure usually get a tractor running. LOL. A friend bought a cub a while back, and after installing a battery, we drove it on the trailer. It ran good as advertised. Unloaded it, and parked it in the shed. He tried to start it a week later, and nothing happened. We noticed the carb was warped, and the bolt mounting hole threads were bad. Resurfaced the carb and re-threaded the holes.

I still suspect the carb, but does anybody have a clue why????
