Default 1200 quit the other day, can you guess what happened?
Mowed with my 1200 the other day. This is the first full year of running since I overhauled the engine (K301). I mowed for about 30 min turned the deck off went to mow another part of the yard. Flipped the switch and she rattled coughed, backfired and died! Tried starting it no luck. Rolled it back to the garage. Had spark, but only when turning the key off. Coil? Nope checked again then it was getting intermittent spark and back firing. Condenser is brand new. After some more looking forward found the problem. Very simple fix, no new parts needed! Just had to find a screw. Can you guess what it was?

Ding ding ding! Redhogg and Jon were right! I just use the top bolt on the points cover. It rattled out and the cover went between the points. Had to re-time it. New bolt tightened it all back up and started fine! Now as you may have seen in another post the muffler box came loose. Everyone, check your bolts and screws periodically for tightness!

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.
