Cub Cadet XT1 Carburetor replacement

[@miguelsalami]

On your old carb drill those plugs out to remove & clean the idle & main jets then you have a backup carb for later on. "Let me be Clear & By the way"😳 Great vid on carb replacement 👍👍

[@LonnieJohnson1]

Thanks! I have two backups.

[@larrylarry1206]

Thanks! That was very helpful. Good work. I just ordered the carb on Amazon. Looks like an easy job

[@LonnieJohnson1]

Your welcome. It is an easy DIY fix.

[@MrFlatlandcycle]

Thank you for a direct, no nonsense explanation. I wonder if I could leave the lights unplugged? I don't mow at night. Hmm.

[@LonnieJohnson1]

Your welcome, and yes you can leave the lights disconnected just put the wire where they can't get damaged.

[@sissymurphy9620]

put a protector over the connectors for the lighs so if you need lights in the future they are not ruined by dirt . . I bought at my local flea market a package of rubber grease port protectors and other rubber parts it had just the right size rubber pieces in it to cover the connector . Not sure what they were for but they fit . I needed new grease port protectors and for 50 cents , I think it was a win win for me

[@tylerfoley2859]

I took mine off and called our course mechanic and he said we can clean it I hope I can do that instead of buying one! But thank you for the parts look up! 👍🏼🇺🇸

Your welcome

A friend of mine came over today and he showed me your video. I said that the video I followed lol! Ok the throttle linkage isn’t moving like it should. It’s just burning through fuel. Maybe I need a new throttle link spring?? Kohler sv541 -3212 18hp its 2016 cub cadet xt1 . Everything else is good. Engine is running ok on choke even in the middle. Throttle all the way down engine is wide open. Oh I forgot it seems like the throttle linkage is to long. So it’s preventing it to work right on carburetor. I hope this makes sense. Thank you

[@LonnieJohnson1]

The throttle cable can be adjusted.

[@MartinD9999]

So can these carburetors be cleaned in anyway since they can’t be dismantled to give them a proper clean?

[@LonnieJohnson1]

Yes

[@bigsnow1705]

Very simple to follow along video. I’ll still call for service to fix mine lol. However 2 summers in a row my carburetor has clogged up and I’m using ethanol free gas. What do you think is the issue?

[@LonnieJohnson1]

Cheap gas. You need to run 93 octane

[@MartinD9999]

@LonnieJohnson1 You still think it’s better to run higher octane fuel with ethanol than ethanol-free fuel with a lower octane?

[@LonnieJohnson1]

I will keep using 93 in all my equipment because 87 has water added as a filler to make more money. Now they have invented a so called winter blend and charge more $$ which is a money scam.

[@Rmoney33]

Are you able to tell me what your model number is under the hood? I have the 13ava1cs056 and I get mixed results if this part number carb will work

[@LonnieJohnson1]

This is the model# for the motor on the XT1. SV541 - 3212

[@MLBOHIO]

My exact cub cadet starts, but wont stay running. Starts dying out like no fuel, kicks and backfires till it shuts off. Do you think carb might be the answer?

[@LonnieJohnson1]

Check your gas it might have water in it. I use 93 octane in my equipment.

[@kenclark9825]

Can you tell me what HP is your Cub Cadet? I could not find it on Amazon for my 18HP mower. Thanks

[@LonnieJohnson1]

[@marctepe4023]

Thanks for this video!! Hey, where did you get that pair pliers to cut gas flow?

[@LonnieJohnson1]

Amazon

[@bigsnow1705]

What kind of pliers?

[@MartinD9999]

@bigsnow1705 “Hose pinching pliers” they usually come in a set of 3 to fit different diameter hoses but I usually just use the smaller one for my mower work since they extend.

[@tuckerbeer01]

Do you need to make any adjustments to the carb? I should replaced mine by watching your video. Mine surges now. Thanks

[@LonnieJohnson1]

If it has an air adjustment screw on it you can adjust it in or out and it will fix the surging. It's an air issue with the carb.

[@Summer41977]

My lawn mower starts but is revving up very high. I can’t get it to stop. I’ve check the throttle,choke, governor, fuel line. I’m lost on what it could be. I’m not sure if it is the carb? Help please

[@LonnieJohnson1]

Turn idle screw counter clockwise and make sure the governor is not stuck.

[@Summer41977]

@@LonnieJohnson1 thank you! For responding. I did figure out it’s the Carburetor the stud broke.

[@LonnieJohnson1]

Cool, easy fix

[@Summer41977]

@@LonnieJohnson1 I put a new carburetor on and it’s still doing the same thing. It’s just revs very high. Black smoke comes out of carburetor. I’m losing my mind!

[@LonnieJohnson1]

Have you taken the valve cover off and checked your valves?

[@ronaldbell4743]

Were you find a new one at.

[@LonnieJohnson1]

Here's the part # 594207 Search Amazon

[@LonnieJohnson1]

Cool!! that's a good price. You can't get a new carburetor because not only are they unavailable, they cost over $250 for the OEM plus tax and shipping because I looked.

[@Summer41977]

I just realized the carb I got has an adjustment screw at the bottom. Other than that everything is the same. Still can’t figure out what is wrong w my lawn mower. Ugh!

[@LonnieJohnson1]

How old is your mower? or send me the model #

[@outboardfixer]

WHAT engine is it??

[@LonnieJohnson1]

Kohler Courage

[@tonesmith909]

Thank you!

Your welcome

[@sissymurphy9620]

This is because of all the crappy gas we get now blame it on the democrats ' 78 hours on my 46 inch cub cadet and second one . Gas is dirty and crappy . I need stock in fuel pumps and gas filters and carbs . I am a 71 and a woman and my cub cadet is a V twin 22hp . We need to drill baby drill our own fuel . I use parts tree all the time . I printed out all the info for both my cub cadets . I think you need a new gas filter . I saw gas dripping every place it could

[@LonnieJohnson1]

Trump open the oil line and Biden shut it down. Blame it on the Democrat's.

[@MartinD9999]

@sissymurphy9620 🤣 The Democrats gave you crappy fuel? 🤣 What difference does it make where we drill? We now drill more oil on US soil than ANY OTHER COUNTRY ON THE PLANET! 13.5 million barrels per DAY! I suppose it’s easier to blame others for anything we don’t like 🤭

[@LonnieJohnson1]

I know right.
