Make sure the new cap matches the old cap.
You did say you pointed the rotor to #1 and followed the proper rotation sequence?
We all are missing something simple.

I'm out of ideas... spark, fuel, compression, and timing is just about it.

BTW, that's a very cool little vehicle

Are the plug wires new? if so, they may need to be resistance versus metal,,

Do you have one of these?

That torch seems to mix air with propane perfectly to run many gas engines,,
if an engine sets too long, many times I will use the torch to get the engine running until the engine can pump gas to the carb.

Just crank the engine and direct the un-lit torch at the carb intake,,,

Just some random sh!t I found on another site.

"First, remove the top spark plugs from all of the cylinders. Then, turn the propeller in the normal direction of rotation with your thumb over the spark plug hole on the No. 1 cylinder. When the air pressure on the No. 1 cylinder starts to build up and tries to blow your thumb off the hole, slowly continue to turn the prop until the timing mark listed on the engine data plate lines up exactly with ......... the split line on the bottom of the crankcase for Continental engines. Typically,.......Continental engine timing marks are located on the propeller flange. A degree wheel is highly recommended on Continental engines. I spent six months in the assembly room at Teledyne Continental Motors. During that time these professional assemblers never once installed a magneto without using a degree wheel. It would be pretty arrogant for a mechanic that installs a magneto once or twice a month to assume that he or she could accurately install a magneto on a Continental engine without using a degree wheel."

Probably unrelated....

I tried to use a regular propane torch to start a 250 CC ATV,, it was not enough propane,,
The big propane burner delivered enough fuel to run the ATV,,,

Coop it’s been setting for quite a while yeah? Dumb question but did you test compression? The ole flattys use valves just like our k series I’m sure you know and maybe some became stuck? Just another idea

Well gang.. It is now running.

Ok so what we figured out. The number one cylinder is in the rear of engine. That's really not what got it running however. You could make cylinder number one any cylinder you want. Simply bring any cylinder to TDC, make that number 1 at the cap then wire 1342 from there. I replaced the NEW CAP with yet another identical new cap. Brought timing to appox 12 degrees BTDC and it fired off. adjusted slightly and it runs like gold.. There was in fact a hairline crack on the inside of the previous new cap between number 1&3. I would show pictures but the cap is now in multiple pieces all over the shop

Thank you all for working through my aggravation. Just knowing there are guys like you willing to throw out ideas and bounce stuff off of is a huge help.

Thank you all again

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.
