Maggiq Welcome to TBN 📣

Sorry to hear that you are having issues with you CC. You have a:
  • 3-year/no hour limit warranty (includes powertrain) and 5-year chassis and front axle unlimited hours.
On you tractor. My suggestion is not to do anything with it. You don't want to take a chance on doing something that would void your warranty.

Contact the place that purchased it from and ask them for help.

There are a lot of things that could cause this.

Here is a link to the Cub Cadet thread on TBN:

You may have better luck there.

The moderator should move this to the CC tread.

Check your choke linkage.

Make sure spark plug caps firmly snap on plug.

I have had excellent rapport with Cub Cadet and their service reps. If you sound like you know what you are doing, they will okay you for an on site repair with you not having to worry about messing up the warranty.
