Default 1864 Troubles
I mowed part of my yard today and shut it down to look at snake I just hit. Chicken snake by the way. It sat about 20 minutes and then would not start. Finally got it to start and it did not have any power. I checked it and the right side has no fire so it looks like I get to pull the engine to replace the ignition module. Any advice before I do that? Thanks for any info in advance. 615 hours on the engine.


More info: Inside the boot is rusty and the right side is new, so looks like the PO changed the left side and not the right.

I was asking is there anything I am missing? I am thinking my next step is pulling the engine to replace the Ignition module. Measure twice, cut once. Never harts to ask.

Well you could rule out a bad plug by replacing it with a known good one.

Yep, I did that, still would not fire. I was hoping it was the plug.

close the gap up to about .015,--- if it fires, pretty much a bad coil.
Had one that will fire up cold, and run all day.
But shut it down to get a drink of water and it refused to spark/start till stone cold.
Don't know about your motor, but on a M-18 in my 782 I didn't pull the motor just the shrouding.
Might have been just as easy to pull the motor tho'

It's easier to pull the motor.

Could be the kill wire. That wire is known to get damaged and ground to the block. I'd disassemble before ordering a coil.

Thanks, I was thinking it would be easier to pull it. I will pull it next weekend.

It is always better to diagnose and trace down the issue rather than "shot gunning" it with parts.

I will agree. I am going to pull the engine and see what the issue could be. Like Jon said it could be a loose wire. Thanks for the input everyone.

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.
