I spent 2 hours out in the brutal cold last night woorking on her. I adjusted the carb and then found out the gas tank is now dripping out gas all over the coil. Will this effect it? (I'm sure it will)

Open the valve ALL the way, or try tightning up the packing nut around the valve stem.

Not running yet, huh? Does the 125 run? I know a place you can dump the 123, now that you have the "upgrade" 125. :biggrin2.gif:
I'll bet that if you get some time to re-read, maybe even print, the posts made in this thread that you can get 123 running. It's not rocket science, by a long shot. If the southwestern part of the State didn't have more snow than we do I'd suggest you throw 123 and a snowmobile on a trailer, get your butt up here, go sledding while I "play"with getting 123 running!
The Tractor Show in Eliot in July seems like a l-o-n-g ways away, but we're going to set our clocks ahead a week from Sunday. I think they just do that to give us up here something to look forward to!

Yah, the road to the tractor show is always a long one lol. I will have to hook up an extension cord in my house and hook a battery charger on that so i can charge her battery up. Maine doesnot want me to work on my cub. I have no power in the workshop cuz it has it's own line than the house. So i have no electricity. I havn't gotten that 125 yet but the guy is holding it for me. I will have it by the show though. I think I might be getting cubby going soon. I gotta feeling

UPDATE: Going to hone and put in new rings on the old engine and do the same for the new 10 hp that smokes. If anyone is looking for a 10 hp email me.

Dude, you've got an ignition problem.
Take the carb off.....have someone crank it over, and give it a light squirt of ether, direct in to the intake port.
If you're ignition is working at all, it'll fire.
Try yanking the motor, and bolting it down to a bench with lagbolts, through a 2x4 on each side to give the oil pan room.
That way, you can check everything much easier.
Just use jumper cables to a battery.

Well I took the engine apart again after i replaced the rod I never got it honed or got new rings so I am going to get it honed for free from a guy I know I just gotta buy new rings and also I gotta buy new gaskets for all around. After I put it back together I will set it up on the bench and try it out

Also I found out the relief valve is rusted shut so there's another thing I gotta do but she should be ready to plow snow by winter.

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.
