My 125 is driving me insane.
OK, heres the deal. This might get long but I'm going to try and cut to to the chase.
I have a 125. It did start but chugged slightly before starting. The chugging got worse. I found the condenser wire was broke I replaced it. problem continued. I took carburetor off cleaned it and replaced the gaskets. still chugged. I replaced the coil & plug gapped to .025 and checked points gapped .020 . Still chugged. I replaced the starter, the solenoid, and rebuilt the wire harness [the harness was dried out and cracked in places thought it may have a ground issue]. Still it chugs, however now when I connect the batter it just tries to start without the key. The wiring is correct as far a sI can tell. I ordered a new regulator, but I did try a regulator off my 100 which is the same part number and still it chugged. I recently used a different starter motor because I read a thread with a issue with a wobbly armature that dragged and created a similar problem. But didn't help, still chugs! I don't have a pressure gang but I'm going to pick one up though. My theory now is it is something with the engine perhaps the valves. or the rings. I did take the head off recently, earlier on in the process to check the valves and head, everything looked good, I did replace the head gasket. the combustion chamber had a .20 stamped in it. I believe that means the block was bored at one point which leads me to believe that issue maybe the engine. IDK

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.
