This much discussion on gap!!??

What would happen if somebody asked about the proper angular rotation of the ground half of the electrodes??



Oh, by the way, What is the best angular rotation of the plug, after I get the gap set to 0.025"?

Shim the plug to allow the rotation to be set so that the angled arm of the electrode allows the open end to be facing dead center of the cylinder for optimum firing of the air fuel mixture.

72-149, where did you get 3246 at? I went to Auotlite's site and that plug doesn't come up. It says for a 982 with an Onan it should be a 106. I need to see what I have in mine asap.

I just replaced the plugs in my 982 with the 19.9 Onan .The factory Cub manual says RBN 13 Y Champs and the cross on the Autolite web site says 104's.I gapped them at .025 .Thats what I used and it runs great , just what worked for me your results may vary.I took a few pics to send off and make sure I got the right regulator and air cleaner assembly.I'm still sorting out PO ''fixes'' but I'm very happy with how it runs now.

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.
