Hi I have a Cub cadet xt1 lt 42” with a Kohler ks540 engine. When I cleaned the outer engine with carb cleaner I sprayed a little at the air filter intake and now it doesn’t run right. Keeps running really rough even after it should have cleared out the carb cleaner. Did I really screw it up or is there something else I need to be checking out?
Sorry reply took so long and No choke is not sticking. The same thing is happening to my other tractor. Running erratic and popping while running ahhh. Went through fuel system and no issues. Wondering if I got some bad gas from station or if it has water in the gas since both tractors are having the same problem.
Try pouring a half bottle of Isopropyl rubbing alcohol in each fuel tank and then drive it around constantly changing speed and direction to mix it really well with the existing fuel in the tank. I have corrected several cases of questionable fuel quality issues that way.
Ethanol and Isopropyl are not the same so don't get it confused. Look them up.
I did remove the fuel line and dumped some in a glass jar and couldn’t tell if it had water as the jar was beveled on the bottom and checked the fuel filter which seemed ok as it was flowing gas through it. But I will try again. And will try the isopropyl alcohol too. Wish me luck and thank you.
