LT1042 Not Getting Gas
Ok, I have an LT1042. Kohler Courage SV390.
Ran fine and then one day it would just turn over and never fire off. I had had this happen before and it was the fuel solenoid. I checked the fuel solenoid, and sure enough the ethanol gas had gelled and rusted. I rebuilt the carb and tried to order a fuel cutoff solenoid. I was told that the fuel solenoid I needed was discontinued, but there was a replacement part and the replacement part had two wires instead of one wire. I was told to wire the one red wire on the new solenoid where the old solenoid had been and snip off the black wire. I did that. If I use ether- and I hate starting fluid with an intense passion- it will fire off. However, the fuel filter is visible and the fuel filter is staying empty. I've checked for obstructions all down the line. Nothing is pinched or obstructing it. I've been told that it could be either the little vacuum powered fuel pump or it could be the solenoid. On the older Briggs engines with solenoids, you could just cut off the head of the solenoid, and put on a fuel shutoff valve. Can I cut off the plunger on this solenoid on this Kohlerse, and it work, and use a fuel shutoff valve ? How I can I confirm whether the fuel "pump" is bad ? Why would this thing not be sucking fuel ? Was that bad advice on just cutting off that black wire coming off the fuel cutoff solenoid ? A snippet of it still exists, I could take and ground it somewhere, if I solder on an extension. Should I ground it ? HELP ! HELP MAMA ! HELP ! Thank you, One Crazy Cracker in Appalachia

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.
