Well who told me was every auto instructor at the many factory training classes and last 30 + years of experience . a bright flash is maybe a better description. Peerless sells a $10 spark voltage testor .that is what I use and under high hummidity you will mostly get a blue spark ( I forgot to mention) As for fuel, most require a lower octane to start easily. another likely possibility could be a intermitant sticking intake valve
Happy mowing now

By intermtant, I mean that it'll fire every now and then but won't run.

It is getting plenty of fuel, but tried some ether anyways and it didn't make any difference.

Everything has been done on the tune up end.

I'm starting to think that the cam is excessivly wore or something.
Really starting to get frustrated, just a week ago this tractor ran like a dream.

Btw, the points pin seems to be all steel. I got my mics out and the pin measured 1.5436"

I just can't figure out what's wrong. I mean it's got 120lbs rolling compression (that's at starting speed with the decompression in effect so it is much higher than this). I am getting plenty of fuel, and I have great spark.
I will try holding some sand paper against the flywheel while I'm turning the engine over.....maybe then I will be able to find the timing marks.
thanks for the advice, keep it coming.
thanks,
robert

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.
