Sounds like your heading in the right direction! I hope you get it figured out soon!

I checked the valve clearances just in case they might be affecting my issue, and they were in range.
Does anyone in the NE CT area have a starter/gen that I could try out, to verify whether or not it's the starter?

I don't want to spring for another one if the problem lies elsewhere.

Thanks

Tom

Tom,
Do you have a starter generator repair shop in the area? We have a good shop that rebuilt My S/G in about 4 hours after I toasted it! And it saved me a lot of dollars too!
Regards,
Chris

Did you put on a new coil or upgraded to an electronic ignition?
If so it may be on backwards. I replaced a EI on a simplicity a while back,
the motor would start on the bench but when I hooked it up the the drive line it wouldn't turn fast enough to hit.

I did put on a new coil, and was careful to hook it up as the old; power to +, points to -.

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.
