Why is the engine running erratically on my Cub Cadet 528 SWE?
- L
  Larry BellSep 3, 2025
  To resolve erratic engine performance in your Cub Cadet Snow Blower, first ensure the choke lever is in the RUN position. If that doesn't work, try filling the tank with fresh gasoline. Also, check for water or dirt in the fuel system; if present, drain the tank and refill with fresh fuel. If the problem persists, it may be due to carburetor issues or the engine being over-governed, in which case you should contact an authorized Service Center.
