It ran really good too, for about an hour after I changed the coil yesterday. Was pulling dead trees out of the woods. Then, I turned it off , came back out later and no start.

Are you listening? Disconnecting the charging system will not fix the issue, it will just keep it from working once the engine does start. SO... if the charging system is broken, it won't burn up the coil, IF... IF that is what has happened.

Lets work on the ignition system first shall we? That way we can get it to start.

Are you, or are you not getting 12 volts to the coil??
Are the points breaking contact or not??

Answer these questions please... then we will move on.

I just pulled points cover and the wire to the points was hold by 1 srand. Made a better connection and it fired right up. That simple........all that for a loose wire..

glad to hear you got it fixed. Most electrical problems like that are best traced by what you just did, start at the battery and keep following the current until it drops in voltage or disappears completely.

Wow. Good thing you didn't buy a new coil huh. If only you had checked it way back when we asked if the points were working.....

Yeah, thanks for the help. I actually went back to your post about the 12 volt at the coil and reread your question about the points. That's when and why I pulled the cover

Like I told you lets not throw parts @ it till you find the culprit.
Now check the original coil if you still have it, there is a chance it is good.

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.
