New cub cadet 4 cycle still uder warranty runs bout 1 min then dies and wont start for awhile have checked plug and spark arrester would return but i need it today and home depot doesn't have any more of this model
Air vent in gas cap pluged, push a pin through it
I have the same cub cadet 4 cycle. After 20 hours of perfect running it stopped and would not start. Finally found the opening to the carb has a black rubber gasket that had closed up the opening and was hanging halfway out of the carb. I will return it under warranty for repair.

Well the thing I would try is get it running allow it to sit on the ground for a few minutes to run if you do pick the unit up do no point your unit downwards point it up in the air while running for a minute. and when its pointing upward slowly give it some juice to get her going good.
I have a few that are really picky like this as well so I know what your going through it took me some time to figure out a plan to get it going and stay going. but it seemed to work ok for me so maybe it will help you out as well.

The thing starts and sputters when ideling but I squeeze the trigger and it cuts off , I'v let it run for (really) 5 mins picked it up and gave it a squeeze and it died, really frustrated!!!!
i had a problem with mine starting as well. once i did get it started it ran rough n after it got hot it would not start at all. checked all my fuel lines n put on a new inside tank filter n still same problems. so i tore apart the carb n cleaned it all up. found a partial plug in vacuum port. had to be something from factory as its brand new. clean the jets out as well n put back together. now it starts first pull, n once warmed up it gets full power n works like a champ. oh n new plug properly gapped.
