  Several factors can prevent your Cub Cadet Chippers/Shredders engine from starting. It could be a disconnected spark plug wire (connect it), an empty or stale fuel tank (fill with fresh gasoline), the throttle control lever not in the correct starting position (move to FAST), the choke not in CHOKE position (move choke to CHOKE), a blocked fuel line (clean it), or a faulty spark plug (clean, adjust gap, or replace).

  If your Cub Cadet Chippers/Shredders engine is running erratically, check the following: Ensure the spark plug wire is connected and tight. If equipped, move the choke lever to the OFF position. A blocked fuel line or stale fuel could be the cause, so clean the fuel line and refill the tank with fresh gasoline. Also, check for water or dirt in the fuel system (drain and refill with fresh fuel) and a dirty air cleaner (clean or replace). If these steps don't work, the carburetor may need adjustment by an authorized service dealer.

  If your Cub Cadet Chippers/Shredders unit isn't discharging, the discharge chute might be clogged. Immediately stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and clean the flail screen and inside of the discharge opening. Also, check for foreign objects lodged in the impeller (stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and remove any lodged objects). Make sure the engine is running at full throttle. Finally, check if the vacuum bag is full and empty it if necessary.
