Hey brother, just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate what you do. I literally bought this mower brand new from a reputable home improvement warehouse & the throttle linkage was not adjusted appropriately. I watched your video & found my issue to be EXACTLY what you described in your video. Thanks to your video, I fixed the problem in no time & didn’t have to deal with returns or service or any other bs. Thanks again your help is much appreciated.
I’m glad you were able to figure it out and like you said, did not have to deal with the hassle of having it taken away. Thank you for the kind comment! Please give this video a like and share my channel to help it grow. It would be greatly appreciated.

This video was incredibly helpful. I bought a brand new cub cadet from home depot and the engine would turn over but didn’t start. Wasn’t sure if it was a battery or what. Found this video, did exactly what you said and it worked! I can’t thank you enough for this video!!
I'm glad you were able to repair yourself :) Thank you for sharing and the kind comment. I have been hearing a lot through the comments about purchasing through the box stores and having issues.

I don't know about anyone else but I would love to see a video about your cleaning process. I always hear don't use a pressure washer. Oh and BTW love your instruction!
I agree on not using a pressure washer or even a garden hose. Do not wash your machine unless necessary. The reason why the normal homeowner should not wash the machine is most do not know or have the means to properly dry the machine. I use high compressed air and know where to blow off the water so it will not sit and seep into the bearings. Also the mower decks are usually off and you can stand them straight up to drain or if the mower deck is on you need to run the deck for at least a few minutes then sit the machine on a incline to make sure all water has drained. It’s a tedious process to get all water off of the important parts and most people don’t do it. I’m am a business performing repair work and it’s my name on the job going out the door. I want my customers machines to run good but also look good as the machine should not look like crap when returning after paying to have your machine worked on.
I’m glad you found this video and saved many $$$$. Thank you for the kind comment. Please share my channel to help it grow. It would be greatly appreciated!
Love your stuff. I was having a starting issue and thought it was the starting switch, turned out to be the solenoid. In-between checking out the issue, I changed this very same cable to move the gas tank out of the way. I jumped directly to the starter, crank but no start. So, I was not sure where to place the cable. Now I do. MANY, MANY thanks.
Good video, Craftsman riders for years came from the factory with the chokes out of adjustment like the Cub Cadet you just showed. I have adjusted many of them. Thanks for a very good video.

Awesome Mr. Johnson. My cub cadet XT1 isn't exactly like that one, but it gives me an idea how to work on mine if I ever need to. Thanks I wish you would show us how you clean those mowers. I can never get mine that clean. Must be a lot of washing and lots of elbow grease. LOL
LOL. Cleaning the machines is a tedious process but it is worth it for the paying customers and makes the videos sooo much better. Plus I don’t want to work on dirty equipment:) I cannot always clean them but I try the best I can.
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines I understand. Why get so dirty while trying to fix something. Beside you might drop a screw or something in the dirty and almost lose it.

Whew, fingers crossed this works. You’ve helped me replace my belt and blades, but the motor only sounds like it’s gonna start, but can’t filling get going. 🤞🏽
Excellent video. I really like your thorough explanation of what you're doing. I clean up my tractor before putting it away for the winter, and would appreciate any washing tips you can pass along.
I'm glad you like the video and thank you for supporting my channel. I do not recommend washing your machine due to the bearings on the machines now are cheaply made and if you do not get all the water away from where they are, you may have premature failure. If you do clean your machine with a pressure washer just remember to run the machine around after you clean it and run the mower deck for at least 5 minutes so you can sling all water out. I use high compressed air to blow off entire machine then run machine and mower deck. I also will grease all grease fittings before I pressure wash to keep water out.
@@JohnsonsSmallEngines I like the compressed air idea and will start my cleanup with that. I usually use a bucket of sudsy water and a rag. And then a mist rinse with the hose or wipe dry with paper towels. Which bearings are you referring to? The ones in the deck?

I had a brand new cub cadet xt1 lt46 delivered to my home, tried to start the mower and it would only crank over but would not start, fooled around with the harness near the starter and found a black plastic or ceramic block taped to the harness, once I separated that block a little from the harness the mower started like a champ! Hope this helps someone in case this happens to them
I’m glad it was helpful and your back up and running. Thank you for sharing and the kind comment. Please give this video a like, and share my channel to help it grow. It would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for such a great video! Helped me understand what was going on with my throttle issues. The air filter hadn't been changed and was in bad shape. Lots of dirt. There was definitely some dirt down in the throttle flap, something that prevented the flap from getting all the way in the closed position. I could push the flap to the closed position with my finger, but no matter what tension was on the wire, the flap wouldn't get all the way to the closed position. So now I have a very manual choke, lol. Any ideas on how to restore that?
I have the exact mower with the exact seat. My seat has disintegrated. I do not want to spend $200.00+ for a seat from Cadet but do not know what to get that will bolt on without issue. Can you recommend one that will work and last longer?
Try and find a good used one or put a seat cover on it. To get a aftermarket seat you will need to do some research and measurements to make sure it will fit and make sure the seat switch will work. I do not get into finding seats due to way too much trouble getting it all to come together and be safe(seat safety switch works).
I do not have a video on that engine yet. I only adjust them when the valves sound loud or there is a running issue or if over 500 hrs.as the manual states.
Great video! Our KT735 has the exact same linkage set up and now starts first time every time. Only issue is its always had too high an idle speed. The orange governor spring won't let it go any slower than 2500. Is there an adjustment to bring the idle down without changing the WOT speed? Tightening the idle screw up on top of the carburetor will increase the idle. Loosening the screw has no effect.

I was wondering why my mower wouldn't start after I replaced the throttle cable, and you had the answer. Thanks! Now I can't get the idle to work: the cable curves up, and the control won't go all the way down. I guess I should start from the idle and work to fast, and then to choke?
A good cleaner and good honest work, including a pressure washer and high compressed air. I have learn the best way to clean a machine without hurting the bearings. I do not recommend washing your machine unless necessary. My customers are paying me to service or repair there machines and I would never perform a service or repair, then taking it back in dirty condition. I take pride in my work and I also think you all enjoy and learn much better when the machine is clean. Some of my older videos were taking while the machine was dirty and they are not easy to follow or even enjoyable to watch. It has been a huge learning process and I am still learning. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel!
Out of gas?? Check the fuel shut off solenoid to make sure it is working. This video will help you with the fuel solenoid. ua-cam.com/video/XwJIyt_7w3g/v-deo.html. Its not the same engine but you will get the point.
@ thanks! There’s gas but I’m wondering if it may be old gas as well. Old owner had it sitting in the shed. Will flush it out and out new gas and check out the solenoid. Thanks!
If the machine has been sitting a long time and hasn’t been run? You may need to cheat and poor a little gas down the throat of the carburetor so the engine will run to prime the fuel pump and if you do that a few times it may run as it should.

What causes gas to puddle in front of the choke butterfly? Never understood why they don’t have gas shut off valves. Mine not starting and I have spark but noticed the puddle of gas when I took the air filter off.
(1) Flooding condition, possible by leaving the choke on to long while cranking the engine over (2) dirt inside the carburetor caught in between the needle vale and seat causing fuel to seep by.
I tried what you said but my flap isn't moving unless I pull far back on the cable. When I do that it looks like your video where the flap is on choke is what mine looks like on run. When I put mine on choke it doesn't move. When I opened it up the flap stayed the same in all 3 positions. What is connected to the flap to make it operate? 😢
It may be stuck? I cannot tell you what you have without seeing the machine. The choke rod in the video shows how it works. It's straight forward. You may not have this exact set up. There are a few different choke set ups on the 7000 series engine. This is one of them. Some have an electric choke.
I need help I can’t figure my problem out I have a cub cadet series 1000 it was running great and I ran it out of gas so I put about 1/2 gallon back in it and it will turn over but will not hit to start I have traced the fuel line down checking the flow the filter and everything seems ok I’m getting fire to the plugs but no dive , dose anyone have any suggestions or pointers that might help me out , I would really appreciate it
(1) make sure you check the oil level, have compression and it has not blown up? Check to make sure your fuel shut off solenoid is working. This video may help, ua-cam.com/video/xDL0g-j43ps/v-deo.html
I have in issue someone might be able to help with. My XT1 has a rough idle. It cycles to a good idle, then slows to an almost stall, then back up. The cycle lasts about 6 seconds.
Sure enough that was the problem with mine... i just used my finger to push the flap closed and it started right up, figured I'd test it before taking anything loose. Thank you for the tip, got my ol' lady off my ass.
Thanks very much! Your attention to detail is really helpful for folks who WANT to fix stuff but cannot without good detailed videos like this.
I am glad I could help. I appreciate the kind comment!

It may be stuck? I cannot tell you what you have without seeing the machine. The choke rod in the video shows how it works. It's straight forward. You may not have this exact set up. There are a few different choke set ups on the 7000 series engine. This is one of them. Some have an electric choke.

Thank you!
Thank you!
I’m glad it was helpful and I hope you’re back up and running:)
Just found mine to not be adjusted at all but it only stays on in choke but shuts down when putting into fast or slow almost immediately
I need help I can’t figure my problem out I have a cub cadet series 1000 it was running great and I ran it out of gas so I put about 1/2 gallon back in it and it will turn over but will not hit to start I have traced the fuel line down checking the flow the filter and everything seems ok I’m getting fire to the plugs but no dive , dose anyone have any suggestions or pointers that might help me out , I would really appreciate it
(1) make sure you check the oil level, have compression and it has not blown up? Check to make sure your fuel shut off solenoid is working. This video may help, ua-cam.com/video/xDL0g-j43ps/v-deo.html
My choke plate isn't moving at all. When I move Rod up and down manually the plate doesn't move at all
You may have an auto choke set up. I do not have a video on that yet but look it up. It may be what have?
I have in issue someone might be able to help with. My XT1 has a rough idle. It cycles to a good idle, then slows to an almost stall, then back up. The cycle lasts about 6 seconds.
Sure enough that was the problem with mine... i just used my finger to push the flap closed and it started right up, figured I'd test it before taking anything loose. Thank you for the tip, got my ol' lady off my ass.
LoL! Glad you’re back up and running and out of trouble :)
Awesome
I'm glad it was helpful!
Mine starts but wont stay running, acts like it runs out of fuel, kicks bucks and backfires then shuts off.
I love you.
LOL. I'm glad it was helpful :)
Ge Glad it was not Intellipower. With Intellipower you need to write new code for the computer to make it run..
