Just did it-wired a tiny dash LED into the negative side, bingo, flashing light while running and on or off depending on points when key on engine off. Pretty cool, would not have thunk it.

Now, how much voltage did you lose at the spark plug?

Keep it on there if you want, but I wouldn't.

I guess you could use it to test with. I'll just take the end off the plug wire and ground it.

LED with a couple hundred ohm resistor in series, I doubt you could even measure the difference.

Sorry about the poor quality, first time shooting a smartphone video and I had to manipulate the choke etc. I borrowed my buddy's war II era O-scope and there was no measureable difference in KVs.
Had the 20 y/o kid at work upload this to youtube.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
