Angry 782 has no spark

The other day I was running the 782 with no problems. Shut it down and later returned put it away and it would not start. I did the old stick a screw driver in the plug wire test and it had no spark. Checked the points and still had no spark. I cleaned and readjusted them and still have no spark. Would it be the condensor now? Or could it be a possible safety switch sticking or something. I don't understand the sudden loss of spark. I have a meter but couldn't tell you how to use it. It was a gift !!!

First thing we need to know is what motor it has in it. A lot of 782 have replacement motors in them.

It needs +12V to the coil, other coil wire goes to points that make/break the ground.
use the meter to check that. if you don't have 12V to coil, check safety switches/Ign sw, for power.
there is a wiring diagram here IIRR, might have to do a search.

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.
