782 Repair Guidance Requested
Good evening,
I only get to work on the 782 periodically on the weekends. I tried to make progress the last two weekends since Auburn was not playing. I would not have made the progress I made without this form and especially the advice from ol'George and SGragg. I am grateful for the advice. I am not a mechanic but learning a lot and thoroughly enjoying it. The engine is a Kohler KT17. So far, I have replaced the condenser, coil, cleaned the points, cleaned electrical contacts, spark plugs, plug wires and this weekend I replaced the fuel pump. The starter turns the shaft but the engine does not crank and run. I have 12 volts to the coil. The coil and condenser checked out ok based on the videos I watched. The points have been cleaned and gapped. The Duracel 12 volt battery was purchased in the spring of 2020 and is kept on a battery tender. My voltmeter shows 12 plus volts at the battery. The ignition switch is original. I am getting a spark at the points. I am wondering if the points may need replacing because I do see a spark on each stroke. The carb is getting gas. Starting fluid did not help. The carb is the original (I think). I rebuilt it. It appears to be working. The PTO switch safety is working. I have no voltage to the headlights. I hope I am close to getting this old 782 to running. I am grateful for any suggestions on what to look for or do next. Thank you.

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.
