Isn't the two piece cam with automatic timing advance set at TDC instead of 20 before? That could possibly explain it trying to spark too far in advance.

The serial number on mine is 101344. Maybe I'll play around with the timing before I do anything else.

Found some good info on one of Brian millers sites and it states to set timing at TDC on the early two piece cam. It then advances to 20 degrees once started.

Dale I had forgotten all about that. I have not seen it myself, but I was aware of the two piece cam with the timing advance. I think it was you who brought it up before. Nice catch.

Now you done it. That name isn't very popular here...... I suggest you ask questions here, and get info here.. Unfortunately his site is the first to pop up in nearly any Kohler engine search. He must have made friends with a hacker during one of his runs in prison, for his site to have that many hits in a search.

Didn't know of mr millers reputation, just was not finding much info on web about this situation and was finally happy to see some info on it. Anywho, you guys have always steered me straight, I'd be lost without this site, thanks!

Set timing at TDC and really didn't make much difference, got it to start but it still took awhile. Also tried booster on the battery for a little extra but no difference. Thinking about finding a one piece cam with acr and swap them out, probably pull head and de carbon, check everything in there and put on new gasket since I've never had this one off yet.

Static timing is the best way (only way in my book) to set the points. This will get the engine running. To fine an engine I will use either a timing light or by sound. I have has a few that the hole and the S and SP mark doesn't line up right or the operator is not looking squarely at the mark.

Thanks
Old age and experience is starting to pay off.
My 100 gave me fits until I change the cam.

According to some posters in a thread at this Wheel Horse site there is a difference in the valve tappets so you may need more than just the cam.

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.
