Go back to post #5. Everyone here helped chase that guys problem and he found out it was faulty ignition part that, I think, was new. Research his thread, it was very educational and certainly worth filing away. If they sent you one bad coil, seems to me the next one could be bad as well if they were from the same lot. Not saying that is the problem, but all things are worth considering.

Yes, mine was a bad "new" coil. There glue holding the wires into the coil became an insulator then it had a weak enough spark causing a skip.

George nailed it in post #9. To fix this, it would probably be easier with the engine out. He's right on about what plugging off incoming air is doing, and why it seems to help. Sounds to me like you have a bad magneto. |

The general consensus seems to be a bad coil so I'm going with that. I'm going to order an OEM this time instead of aftermarket. I'll report back when I get it installed. Thanks for all the input everybody.

When you get your new OEM coil, make sure to set the air gap between the legs of the coil and the magnets in the flywheel. As others have mentioned above, this can make the difference between a hot spark and a weak one.
When installing a coil, I loosen the mountings screws and slide the coil as far away from the flywheel as possible, then lightly snug the screws to hold the coil there. Now after rotating the flywheel until the magnet is directly under the coil, I place a standard thickness paper business card between the legs of the coil and the flywheel. Now loosen the screws and the magnets will pull the coil into place. Tighten the screws securely, and rotate the flywheel to remove the business card. Your air gap should be right around the .008" spec. The paper of a business card is right around .008 - .010" thick and is the perfect tool to quickly get the coil installed evenly and at the correct distance from the flywheel.

Maybe I can get some with a picture of Hillary on them.... |

Actually Jon it's a business card from one of our sponsors at the top of the page. It was included in a shipment of parts a few years back, and I threw it in the top drawer of the tool box "just in case". Been using it as a gap tool ever since!

Sounds like it replaced your “out of spec” matchbook

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.
