The 109 has been giving me fits with trash in carb making it bog and die after a few minutes. Every time it would die, I would pull bowl and have rust dust in it, clean it and it would run again. Well, most times I had to quite because of time and the next time I ran it all would be good. The other day I cleaned it again and started back only to have it bog and die within just a few minutes. I didn't do anything to it because now I am thinking it might be electrical and the rust in bowl wasn't causing it to die. I chased this angle cause you could idle it down and it would get to the garage, just not above half throttle. I had another coil so I took it off the 149 and was ready to slap it on when it died, I noticed it was around the 20 minute when it showed up before so, 20 some minutes in it started acting up. To the garage and a quick coil swap, started to find no change dang it. I had ohmed both coils and they were both in spec so park because of darkness. I was looking at the coil that was on it and what did I see, USE EXTERNAL RESISTOR, this was behind the bracket so now I'm on to something!! The other coil had been painted so I couldn't tell about it. Yesterday on the way home I stopped by O'Reilly's, short on time to go to dealer or NAPA, and picked up a internal resistor coil and new condenser. Home and a quick install, checked points and they looked good so a quick static timing set and I am ready!!! Kind of hard to start, I get it out and it runs like total crap in the driveway and dies. What is going on, must still have carb issues. I pulled the 26 off the 149 and go through it, shaft tight and all looks good, a quick brake clean OH and back together, spacer and install. As I was finishing the install I get to thinking, which direction does the engine turn? Hit the key and I realize I had rolled it the wrong way when setting timing, I had used TDC instead of the first mark!!! Get engine on the "correct" mark and reset points. Turn on fuel and hit key, takes a few turns but as soon as it hits it sounds much better. Outside and now it is running really good, adjust the "new" carb, almost perfect as it was set, and off the the grass. Finished my back yard and hook up the trailer, edger and blower loaded and up the hill to MIL house to mow hers. Mowed hers and back to the house, still running perfect. The PTO has a loose bolt so that has to come off and fix, I hope that is the rattle I hear, cause if it's not the engine is about to vent the case. Will update when it comes off. Still fighting the C deck and using the U, but that is a different tread.

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.
