Guide to new Cub Cadet owners
 
Maybe start a FAQ thread with links to good threads for diagnosing trouble with Ignition, carbs, gears, etc. I know some forums I am a part of have this for new people. Might reduce the number of same questions over and over.

Possibly send this link as well as some instructions to any new member?

Just an idea.

Your theory has merit........BUT you are under the assumption that these people will want to look and read.

I think you will never get the ones who just come here for a quick answer
to read what you are suggesting. The ones who will read it will be the ones that
are wanting to get into this as a hobby.
So while it would be of benefit, but maybe not to the way you thought it might.

We have all seen this hundreds of times, where someone asks a question and some us point them to the Technical Library to where their answer is.

To take it a step farther, there are posters that refuse to go to the Library and simply want to be spoon fed.

I have said this before, and still remains true today. There are people that.....

Want someone to come to their house, diagnose the problem, run to the parts store, buy the parts, return to the project, install said parts, make any and all adjustments, then when you are done, leave a $20.00 bill on the kitchen counter.
Then and only then, will they be satisfied and happy. :bash2:
