Default Starter generator won't stop running
A guy I know asked me to help him get his 129 running and this is the first problem we came to. I had a new ignition switch, so I tried that with no luck. The s/g just keeps running after the switch has been turned. I have to disconnect the battery to get it to stop. Since I have been lucky enough to never have electrical trouble with any of the older units an I'm pretty slow in the electrical department, I really don't what the cause might be. Does it sound like the magnetic switch or the s/g is at fault? The only magnetic switch failures I have had are a failure to work at all.
Thanks

Start with checking the starter solenoid.

Would I just check to see if there is 12V present on the output side after I turn the switch off?

That's correct. However you should disconnect the cable going to the s/g at the post of the solenoid or at the s/g itself if you're suspecting shorted tips within the solenoid. With the key in the off or run position there should not be pos battery volts present on the output side of the solenoid.

the voltage regulator can cause this problem if the one set of points gets burned together

Agreed, if you remove the cable I mentioned and it still tries to start then the v reg is your issue with n/o contacts stuck closed

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.
