CC 125 (K301) won't start - brilliant minds wanted
Hey guys/gals,
I've inherited a Cub Cadet 125 from my grandfather after it'd been sitting for a year due to some rust in the gas tank. I figured it'd be no problem to get it running reliably, but I'm very mistaken. I'd appreciate any help that you folks might have into what I can do to get it to start. Here's what I've done so far: Fuel stuff: Replaced the fuel tank (with a plastic one) along with new fuel line and filter. Fresh fuel was installed. The carb is also now totally cleaned out and with the engine turning over, I can see the jets squirting fuel. Spark stuff: New battery & solenoid New coil/condenser/points/spark plug/plug wire points gapped at 0.020 & plug at 0.025 When cranking, there is good spark if you lay the plug on the cyl head. As best I can tell, the timing is also good (don't have a timing light). So, I've had the tractor running twice in the last 2-3 weeks. After about 20-30 minutes of cranking and tinkering, I finally got it started one time and so I mowed about an acre of my yard with it for about an hour - it ran great. Now I can't get it restarted. starter fluid doesn't seem to help. I've spent hours trying to get it to fire up again. If only I can get it started, I'm sure it'd continue to run again - just like it did the one time. What am I missing? Thanks in advance! Jon

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.
