Default GT2186 starter problems?

I have a GT2186 and it started to have a problem when you push the brake pedal in it won't start and it sometimes take maybe 6-8 times till it starts. I was thinking it could be the switch on the parking brake, any help would be helpful, thanks in advance

I have several mowers with engines just like yours. You could have battery problems or connection problems. You could need to do the starter relay upgrade. Here is a link.

It seems that the switch is not engaging correctly when you push the brake pedal in

2 things could be happening comes to mind.
One, could be the brake safety switch is defective and needs replaced.
Two, could be the ignition switch is failing and needs replaced.
I suggest you check continuity of the brake safety switch first with a meter or test light.
If ok then check the Ign switch for power to the solenoid activation wire.
Report back with your results.

the brake lever was not always hitting the switch, we had to take it apart and make a bracket and fasten it on the brake lever and now it starts like new

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.
