Was driving the cub to work.  Cold out side so had it started for 15 min before I left.  Drove about 2 miles no problem then all of a sudden started to loose power, push gas to the floor to get off the side of the road.  Once turned off the road continued to put along so figured would get to a spot to be able to figure out.  Once I stop the engine died, and will just crank over and not fire.  Checked fuel filter no clog, has spark.  The oil was low but no light came on.  No sure if there is an oil kill switch or if the starting kill switch deal is malfunctioning.  Any help or ideas would be great.

 

Thanks

Been below freezing.  When checking the filter it had a strong flow.  I was going to check the inlet to the intake.  But haven’t messed with that before so not sure what to look for.

It just sounds like the fuel supply was restricted. I don't know if it's safe to use some dry gas, but I wouldn't think it would hurt, and it would get rid of any ice that possibly could be there. 

Does it have good spark?

Yes the spark is strong.  I will mess with the fuel supply lines this weekend.   One thing I noticed is that it has the safety start deal where the brake has to be pushed in to start, even to crank it over, now it does it without the brake on, so thinking that may have something to do with it.
