We have been trying to get our cub cadet tractor running for a few days now. It was sitting in the yard for about two years. We drained the gas before letting it sit. We filled the gas and changed the oil and tried starting it. Nothing. We then cleaned the carb really well. Then we got it to run by itself but only with the choke on. After sitting for a few days, it now runs without the choke but it sputters and backfires a lot. That's the problem now. How do we get it to stop sputtering and backfiring all the time while it's running? It has a 19HP Kohler engine. Thanks for any suggestions.
