Look this up on youtube, Cub Cadet Kohler K301A 12 hp Basic Wiring Jump start. It shows how to get around your wiring like jump starting it. Don't be afraid to just grab that plug wire to see if it's got spark. That's how see if the spark is hot or weak.

Well after trying just about everything, I finally found the culprit. Is anyone fimilar with the acronym K.I.S.S (keep it simple stupid)? I was using my multimeter to time, and set the points like the thread on here shows, but wasn't having any luck getting the proper reading on the meter. So I removed the breaker assembly and checked for continuity between the buttons. NONE. Well long story short, after a few swipes with sandpaper, I was up and running. Lesson learned. Thanks everyone for your help!

Now, everyone knows why I own a points file with the fleet I have. They are inexpensive and available from most any auto parts house. A must have in the tool box of an IH Cub Cadet owner IMHO. I also strongly recommend a long skinny locking screwdriver for removal and insertion of those pesky points cover screws. Sure makes checking the points a whole lot easier. Also make sure that the points cover gasket is intact and in place. It and that little corner rubber wire grommet are also still available. Use 'em!

good thinking! most do not know what points are. I still have a couple of "gems" ---Diamond dusted point files, they don't get any better than that. In a pinch, wifey's emery board will work, but they are much too coarse really. also thin metal nail files work. Wished I had a penny for every set of points that were replaced that just needed a "touching up" I'd make Donald Trump look like a poor man!

Oh, back on the points issue. No spark, first thing I check continuity across the points. Take the lead from the points off the coil, put one lead of your VOM on that lead, ground the other lead, turn the engine over by hand and watch for resistance to go from zero to infinite or if you are on the continuity setting, listen for the tone to go on and off.

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.
