Default Smoking 16hp

Hello
New member here.
I'm working on my 1641 in this range of serial # below.

{1641 (145-653-100) - Cub Cadet Garden Tractor (SN: 821060 - 880000) }

When I started It this evening it was really smoking.

Where is the best place to buy parts/ Rebuild kit ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Model #303447 Type 0447-01 Code 940916

I would suggest you take an aspirin and maybe a short nap.

I have owned several 16 hp Vanguards that smoked and none of them required a rebuild. Might be best for you to figure out what is causing the smoke and report back before all the jingle runs out of your pockets?

Thanks.
I will take that advice.
When I purchased it a few weeks ago it was fine.

It is (freshly rebuilt) was the story.

It sounds great.
I will pull the plugs and take a look.
Also Run a compression check.
I will take the muffler off. and check things out .
I will post a picture of the muffler.
It does not look like it is burning good on both cylinders.

Thanks

I run compression test.
150psi even both sides.

Right Plug looks normal,
Left Plug Wet. Gas/Oil.

So spark check.
Right side

Left side

I will look when it gets dark.

I think it has not had spark on this side for a while.

Here is a picture of the Muffler.

The kill wire that attaches to the coils has diodes in it. I've read that if they go bad it can cause spark failure. I had to replace the one on my 1641 because it got pinched in the shroud.

The armature air gap is .008-.012.

If you can spin the engine, just remove the kill wire from both armatures and see of both of them spark.

I just replaced a kill wire because of an open diode and one side wouldn't fire.

Some multimeters can check diode function.

I want to Thank both of You.
Mike McKown for slowing me down .
And Cannon51 for telling me about the wire.
And Mike for instruction of leaving the wire off
It was that wire.
I swapped the coil side to side
Tested everything.
Blah Blah
Then left the wire off and (Bam)

Here's a picture

So 2 more Questions.

#1: Where is the best place to buy this wire?

Also there was nothing hooked to it on the outside of the engine.

#2: Does it have to be hooked in the wiring?

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.
