Man I tell you I should have learned my lesson the first two times buying a Cub Cadet!
First I had issues with my 2544 then my 3184 and now my 1572.
Ok here is what is going on. When I start it it blows a lot of black smoke at first and it was 60 degrees outside. Then it will run for about a minutes or two and die. When it is dieing it sounds like it is running on two cylinders instead of 3.
I am going to try and trace it down from the fuel tank forward this weekend if I get time. I am hoping it is just a bad fuel filter or something.
Also the fuel pump always is making noise like it is running before I start the engine. Should it stop before I start the engine like it is pressurized? I thought most electronic fuel pumps stopped pumping once there was enough pressure.
Any ideas?
