Cub Cadet 1045, is there a fule pump or is it free flow?

Likely it needs valve lash adjustment.

Russ. it isn't getting fuel for some reason. if it has a fuel pump unhook it at the carburetor and see if it pumps fuel. if it don't replace it. if it does take the carburetor off and clean it real good with carburetor cleaner. be sure gas flows to the fuel pump when you take off the line. it could be a plugged fuel filter.maybe put a new kit in it. they are cheap. you have water or debris somewhere. it is just a process to find where it is.

First, is there an on/off valve for gas flow? If there is, make sure it's turned to on. It's easy to forget that you've turned it off, especially after the mowing season has ended. Second, if gas is getting out of the tank to the fuel line, you might want to look at the fuel pump. You can disconnect the fuel line coming out of the pump and see, in that couple of minutes it runs, if the pump is actually pumping fuel. If it is, then you've got to think carb - although if it's relatively new, the chances of having a bad carb are small. Is the gas old? You might try draining the tank and refilling it with some high test gas, or even better, some ethanol-free gas if you can find it near where you live. I always use high test and add a couple capfuls of "Sea foam". You can get that at any auto parts store.

Obviously, you want to make sure the air cleaner is clean. As a last resort, you may want to spray some ether in the throat of the carb and see what happens - although YOU MUST NOT SPRAY TOO MUCH LEST YOU BURN IT UP!!!

If none of these measures work, take it to the shop. Cub Cadet is not the quality machine it once was, unfortunately. I had one briefly and wound up selling it and buying a John DeereX300.

U need for items for a running motor. Compression, gas, air, spark.

I would prioritize the spark and fuel flow items.

I'm sure you have dirt in your carb. If you know how to take the carb apart......You need to get a can of carb cleaner and carb kit. Take the carb apart and spray every hole and nook a crany you can see. Put the new kit in the carb and you should be ready to go!! This has happened to several times.

Clean or replace air filter. Remove bowl from carb, clean bowl and carb.

coil

remove the top cover from the engine and remove the small wire from the coil if still no spark the coil is bad

Hi, I found manual on amazon, so you can check there for solution: International Farmall Cub Cadet 1000 Operators Manual Paperback July 20... I hope I have helped. Cheers

SOUNDS LIKE IT HAS SOME BAD GAS YOU MAY NEED TO CLEAN THE CARB AND IT MAY NEED A KIT
