IMHO, I think the static method is the best. I use a test light. Are you using a test light? Or just looking to see when it looks like they break open?.... After setting them when do open, I don't even look at the gap. This is on ANY point ignition system. Now, dwell (the amount of time the point gap is closed) is important on other motors. Gap is what sets the dwell. But on the Kohlers, it apparently wasn't too important, if it was, they would have made the point push rod adjustable.

Dwell angle allows time for coil to be energized
On the single cylinder dwell angle is not an issue, as the points are closed a very long time, and this allows the DC current thru the primary coil winding time to establish the magnetic field before it collapses when the points open, thereby inducing the high voltage in the secondary for the needed spark. I just read that on the 6-8 cylinder cars the dwell is important to allow this time with the points closed. We learn something every day. So many years of setting dwell angles, and I never knew this. I just thought it established the time of point opening. Not so, but this is what we do with the static timing method here.
I had set my gap last fall after I got my 149, as I gave up on finding the timing mark. Recently, I removed the engine for other repairs, and found the timing marks after rotating the flywheel and sanding to beat the devil. I set the points opening right on the "SP" mark with my Ohm Meter. Eric of the Green Mountains

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.
