Trouble with gas flow in original Cub Cadet

[cwarznak]

I'm working to start up my Cub Cadet after a few years of resting. I had to replace the rubber tips on both ends of the copper fuel line, as both were dry rotted.

After cranking the engine for a few minutes, I saw the oil bath air filter had filled with gas and was running over. Any suggestions for what may be wrong?

Thanks - I'll dig in to it.

After you dig into it, you can post your findings on the main forum board where garden tractor stuff is posted instead of this lawn tractor section.
