I took a quick look, there is a wire from the mag that goes down behind the flywheel and the kill wire that comes up and back to the throttle plate on the back of the engine. I will try to take the flywheel off this week to file the points and see if that does it. I took a pic, not the greatest, the wires are to the left of the flywheel magnet which is bottom center. You can also see the kill wire running back on the left side.

I took this off a junk B&S that is going to the scrap yard. If you want it it's yours for the postage. This is the type that doesn't need points.

Sold! pm sent. I've been looking at new magnetrons that don't require points so I don't have to deal with removing the flywheel. Yours is the best price I've found! Thanks Sam!

I'll get it in the mail today and send you a tracking number. It fits in one of those small priority boxes so you should have it in a couple days. I think it's good but I'm not positive. Like I told you if it works just cover the postage.

Since your system has a kill wire, make sure that the wire doesn't have a bare spot where it could be grounding out, and check that the kill switch isn't shorted, either.

I found that cleaning the magneto and the magnets on the flywheel with very fine (800 or finer) sandpaper sometimes helped. I would use 2 sheets of standard notebook paper as a feeler gauge to set the magneto gap. Not sure if that was the correct gap, but it seemed to work well on 3 to 7 HP engines.

Success! I bolted the mag Sam sent me on and tested it. It gave a nice bright spark. I checked the ground wire for nicks, hooked it up, set a .010 gap on the mag and put everything back together properly. I had already rebuilt the carb, cleaned the fuel system, new fuel line, sparkplug, air filter and oil change. Poured a little gas in it, and fired up on the first pull! Let it warm up and dialed the carb in, runs great. Little gray smoke on throttle up, have to keep and eye on my oil level as I use it. Thanks for all your help and thanks again for the part Sam!

I snapped a quick pick, since it runs I guess I can clean the barn dust off it!

Glad that it worked. Guess it's a good thing I didn't clean my shop out sooner because the mag was on a blown B&S that is going to the scrap yard.

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.
