Just replaced the points and condenser. The points push rod mic'd the same as new so I left it alone. I waited until the points closed and put the probes on the points and the meter went to the right or infinity as Matt described. As soon as the needle moved to the left or "0" I checked the sight hole and lo and behold there was the "S". The motor is out so as soon as I get it back in I will let everyone know how it does. Wish me luck and thanks again DX3.

Found the sight window on my 149... It's a little hard to see being under the SG bracket.
I don't have an "S" mark though, mine has "SP", is this the one I'm looking for?

Yes should be. The other mark should have a T in it for top dead center.

Well guys I got it running and it has a very hard time throttling up. I tried adjusting the carb and got nothing. It idles good, but as soon as I rev it up it stumbles badly and won't rev unless I go real slow. I think it still is not close enough. I believe I need a timing light for a single cylinder. Can anyone suggest a good one? At least the mufflers not glowing anymore

UPDATE, I bought a timing light w/a tack signal. Revved it up to 1500 and set the points. It really made it nice to have one. I will see how it does when I put on the 48" deck after I restore it. Thanks for everybody's help.

If it's idling rough and the exhaust smells like gas then I suspect your carb is set to rich or you have a weak spark that causes the fuel not to burn completely.

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.
