Why won't my Cub Cadet CC 760 ES Lawn Mower engine start?
- T
  Tiffany DawsonAug 13, 2025
  If your Cub Cadet Lawn Mower engine won't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the choke is activated by placing the throttle/choke control in the CHOKE position. If the fuel tank is empty or the fuel is stale (older than 30 days), refill it with fresh gas. A blocked fuel line could also be the culprit; in this case, clean the fuel line and replace the fuel filter. Other potential causes include a faulty spark plug (clean, adjust the gap, or replace it), a flooded engine (crank the engine with the throttle in the FAST position), a dead battery (recharge it), or a blown fuse (replace it).

Why is my Cub Cadet CC 760 ES engine running erratically?
- A
  Alexander EllisAug 16, 2025
  An erratic engine in your Cub Cadet Lawn Mower can stem from several issues. Make sure the engine isn't running with the CHOKE activated; if it is, move the throttle/choke control out of CHOKE position. Check for loose spark plug wires and connect them securely. A blocked fuel line or stale fuel can also cause this problem; clean the fuel line, fill the tank with fresh gasoline, and replace the fuel filter. Additionally, ensure the vent in the gas cap isn't plugged; clear it or replace the cap if damaged. Water or dirt in the fuel system can also lead to erratic running, so drain the fuel tank and refill with clean, fresh gasoline. Finally, a dirty air cleaner can be the cause, so replace the air cleaner paper element.

How to improve mulching with my Cub Cadet CC 760 ES?
- M
  Marcus StevensAug 28, 2025
  If your Cub Cadet Lawn Mower isn't mulching grass effectively, there are several possible reasons. Ensure the engine speed isn't too low by placing the throttle in the FAST position. Avoid mulching when the grass is wet. If the grass is excessively high, mow once at a high cutting height, then mow again at the desired height, or make a narrower cutting swath. Lastly, check if the blade is dull and sharpen or replace it if necessary.
