LT2180 won't start
Good day. I have an apparent issue with my cub lt 2180. It cranks fine but will not start. It ran when parked (how many times have you heard that?) late last fall when I drained the gas out of it, as recommended by the owners manual (drain gas, start and run with the choke out to burn off the gas in the carb). I had to replace the battery this spring, an apparent victim of the polar vortex. I should mention that while the battery was un hooked, it was also left on the tractor in an unheated environment. At any rate, I charged the old battery and it cranked fine for a few tries, but would not hold it's charge so I replaced it. My observations so far: I thought maybe it was a fuel issue, so I unhooked the lines from the fuel pump and cranked it, puts out plenty of gas. I even went so far as to take the top off the carb and cranked it with the fuel pump hooked up, it shot a stream of gas out of the main jet about a foot in the air, so I really don't think it's a fuel feed issue. I did notice some cracking on one of the shorter hoses, but haven't replaced them yet. I pulled the plugs to check for spark, I have spark but it looked kind of weak so I replaced the plugs too. Still no luck. So, any ideas what to check, how to check it? I'm kind of worried that maybe a mouse or something found a winter home under the engine cover, maybe chewed something. Or something has failed due to extreme conditions. Any help is appreciated, getting time to mow and I need a solution pretty quickly. Thanks to all.

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.
