I have a 124 with a Bosh coil and point saver. The points slipped and stayed open all the time so I had to re-time it. The previous owner put a nice white timing mark on the flywheel so I used that and gapped the points at 0.02. It runs and idles really smooth now but hits really hard at least once every time I try and start it. It hits so hard the starter will stop rotating. Is the timing too advanced and do I need to gap it at 0.018 to correct it? Thanks

Time it this way, don't worry about the gap.

Put it in the list of accepted sites. Sorry if that sounds blunt, but it's much easier for you to read through Matt's link than to write a whole new one explaining it.

I think you can open the cam cover on the left side of the engine and manipulate the spring on the cam (if it's not broken) back into place to get the compression release to work again. Or so I've read on other threads here, but have never attempted it myself. (yet).

If the problem persists after the spark timing procedure already outlined has been performed, try using a premium fuel. Ethanol enhanced fuels cause all kinds of peculiar problems in older engines.

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.
