Hi i have two cub cadet push mower that will start and run for about 10 seconds and then the dieout, they only start with choke out and once they quit if you wait a few seconds is does the same thing. i thought it wasnt getting fuel but the one has a Brand new carbureator... thanks Matt
 
I'm assuming you have full fuel tanks, try cracking the caps to rule out plug vents. Second pull the fuel lines to make sure you have full flow. Third, check for air leak where the carb bolts to block.
 
loosened the gas caps no difference

fuel line has good flow

and dosnt seem to have air leak arround carb..
 
all i have is the number off of the mower deck its 11a-18mco10-cc500 and the other on all i can get is 12a-18mc056
 
Sorry, i'm lost. I work on all types of engines, but don't have any breakdowns or crosses on cubs. There should be a name on the engine. Any pics possible? Without more info I won't be able to help.
 
The 11a-18mc010 has a MTD brand engine not a Honda, didn't check the other one. Sounds like the needle valve is sticking shut and runs until the carb runs dry then you have to wait until the carb refills to restart the mower. May need to start the mower and as soon as it dies, clamp the fuel line off to prevent fuel from getting into the carb then remove the drain plug and see if you still have fuel left in the carb other then the small amount that be used in the bottom of the bowl.
