That was actually my initial thought. I will check to see if he took the carburetor apart to clean it. I'm not too sure he would have access to an MV17/18 service manual. Thanks to all for the advice. Trying to get my 1430 back in service so I can stop using my push mower!

Wanted to Buy. Carburetor for a Cub Cadet model 1430. Please email.

I appreciate the response (and all the previous ones). You are absolutely right, a new carburetor runs over $200. Parts seem to be expensive for this particular model. I'm not sure what brand is on my 1430, but I believe it is original to the tractor. Hope to get it back this afternoon, so I...
