Why is my Cub Cadet SLTX 1050 engine running erratic?
- A
  Alexander MatthewsAug 23, 2025
  If your Cub Cadet Lawn Mower engine is running erratically, it might be due to the choke being activated while running, loose spark plug wires, a blocked fuel line or stale fuel, a plugged vent in the gas cap, water or dirt in the fuel system, or a dirty air cleaner. To fix this, move the Throttle/Choke control out of the CHOKE position, connect the spark plug wires, clean the fuel line, fill the tank with clean, fresh gasoline and replace the fuel filter, clear the vent or replace the cap if damaged, drain the fuel tank and refill with clean, fresh gasoline, and replace the air cleaner paper element or clean the foam precleaner.

Why won't my Cub Cadet Lawn tractor start?

  Stephanie HansonAug 30, 2025
  Your Cub Cadet Lawn tractor might not start due to several reasons. Ensure the PTO/Blade Engage knob is disengaged, the parking brake is engaged, and the spark plug wires are connected. Also, check that the throttle control lever is in the FAST position and the choke is activated. The fuel tank should have clean, fresh gas, and the fuel line should be clear. A faulty spark plug or a blown fuse could also be the cause. If the engine is flooded, crank it with the throttle in the FAST position.

What to do if my Cub Cadet Lawn Mower will not mulch grass?

  Dr. Ricky Frye DVMAug 31, 2025
  If your Cub Cadet Lawn Mower isn't mulching grass effectively, the engine speed might be too low, the grass might be wet, the grass might be excessively high, or the blade might be dull. To address this: Place the throttle in the FAST (rabbit) position, avoid mulching when the grass is wet, mow once at a high cutting height then again at the desired height or make a narrower cutting swath, and sharpen or replace the blade.

  If your Cub Cadet Lawn tractor engine is running erratically, there are several possible causes. Make sure the choke is not activated while running. Check that the spark plug wires are securely connected. A blocked fuel line or stale fuel can also cause this issue, so clean the fuel line, replace the fuel filter, and use fresh gasoline. Additionally, ensure the vent in the gas cap is not plugged and that there is no water or dirt in the fuel system. A dirty air cleaner can also contribute to erratic engine performance, so replace the air cleaner or clean the foam pre-cleaner.
