Cub 2135 Starting Problem
 

I have a Cub Cadet 2135 that no longer turns over. The battery has power since the headlights and and the gauge lights on the dash work. I replaced the key switch two years ago and recently when starting it, sometimes it would turnover and other times it would not. When that happened, I would turn the key on and off repeatedly and eventually it would connect and start.

From the research online it seems like it could be a safety kill switch, starter, solenoid, or a loose wire connection somewhere. I was hoping this forum might have some suggestions on how to go about testing and fixing.

Thanks!

Check your E-Mail. Wiring Diagram sent.

I had a 2135 a few years back, with the same symptoms. It ended up being the safety switch under the seat. I jumpered the leads together....problem solved!

Model 2135 starting problems
 

I have a 16 year old Model 2135 Cub Cadet Lawn Tractor. Great machine.
Using it last wee and it just stoppped running and wouldn't re-start. Cranks fine- no start.
Good new gas.
Changed fuel filter
changed spark plug
cleaned carb

Still no start

Hoping it's not electrical

Anyone have any ideas

Heres a start to your problem. If its turning over, all the safety switches are working. That my friend is 90% of the problem. All thats left is air fuel and compresion, them the easy stuff.

Check your choke plate, I have one here in the junk pile that has the same problem. If you hold your hand over the carb it will start and run all day.
