Runs fairly smooth. The champion plug took almost 6 or 8 rotation before it fired up. So, I let it warm up and cut her off. I will try again in about 30 minutes and see what she does.

Unfortunately my kohler is burning oil, haha. Blue smoke. So for now to get me through the winter, I put 15w40 rotella. It sits in a climate controlled garage, so starting in cold wont be a issue.

I did not take my points cover off yet to see if its arcing. I will do so just in case.

Well, okay, however. With old carb, I bet the problem would still be there. The last carb fouled the other plug. Now good carb and plug and presto. 2 issues

As far as burning oil.. have you checked valves? Breather?

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.
