Take a picture of your model number under tractor seat with your phone. Click Cub website above then Service & Parts then Owners Manual using model number & read manual. Safety First: remove spark plug boots & place shop towel under carburetor then turn fuel cutoff valve to stop flow. Proceed to remove fuel lines & carburetor. You may want to drain gas tank if fuel is old, stale, & dirty. Let us know how it goes thanks Mark
My sons & I use 93 octane gasoline & Star Tron Fuel Treatment in our B&S Vanguard Engines, 2006, 2009, 2010 year models. Replace your fuel filter also. We have not had issues with fuel problems.

Yes, I realize that and it’s part of the reason why I decided on a Cub Cadet, however an extended warranty won’t cover the price of a mechanic to come to my house and resolve a fuel issue or have the tractor hauled to the shop.Lawn & Garden Tractors | Cub Cadet US

Perhaps there some water in the fuel from moisture since the mower is stored in an unheated shed?

After doing a bunch of reading on line, I discovered that various small engine fuel filters are not all the same micron size which allow slight different amounts of fuel to pass through and I had the wrong filter on the engine.
Once I replaced it with the exact Koehler part, the engine runs perfectly, either at full throttle or just barely idling, problem solved

Apparently my surging engine problem has been resolved and it was not due to bad fuel or a carburetor issue.Take a picture of your model number under tractor seat with your phone.

Nice to hear you got her running.
There is a huge difference in most mower filters. Briggs makes some that have no kidding window screen material inside. Like this one. Waste of money.
This type is good.
So is this one.
