Trouble sometimes happens in two's and three's! Trouble even happens at the same time.

I would sandblast and clean the spark plug and rest that gap to .035" . Next, measure your point gap. If its greater or less that .020", then you have a problem.

Zero out the high and low speed needles. Set the high two turns from zero, and the low one turn from zero, start your engine and call me in the morning!

A broken key on the flywheel would only stop an engine that runs off a magneto.

I am going to recheck my points again and buy another condensor just to be sure. The condensor looked good but there cheap and I'll replace it just because. Ill also clean off my spark plug. It was looking pretty dark.

It ended up being the condensor. Now i have to retune my carb and i should hopefully be good to go. Thanks everyone for the help. Just researching, it is weird how some electrical issues seem to be fuel problems.

Yes they do otherwise the flywheel would just spin on the crankshaft under load.

Not yet...I suggest he load the rear tires and exchange the left side one to the right side , then he should call a priest to exorcise and chased away all demons and finally he do 2 ccw turn around the Cub yelling "Allah Akbar" and if nothing explode he can start the dam thing.

PS: I wish this help!

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.
