Any us of that ran the old English motorcycles still have hair standing straight out on our arms. "Ape hanger" handle bars were invented to give the armpit hairs a chance to cool and settle down after a roadside spark check. A couple of condensers and a ziner diode were standard in the saddle bag.
And a flash light with tape
for a headlight to get home at night.

Know why the English prefer warm beer?
They have Lucas refrigerators.

And English bike swap meets always circled counterclockwise because our right legs were way stronger from kicking over the cantankerous beasts.

But we were always happy to be standing on Positive Ground.

I did not witness the event, but my buddies well-endowed wife, rather than walk ten feet to enter the garden thru the gate, leaned over the electrified fence to pick a vegetable.
I don't know whether she was standing on Positive or Negative Ground, but twenty years later he can still describe her scream.

I have that tester but still prefer to wet my fingers and grab the screwdriver.

We got spark!

Yes new stuff does go bad so if I have the issue again, I'll make sure to check.

I have been poked more times than I care to admit.
2 instances stand out.
My first hit with a GM HEI,
and
the time I thought my "bulldozer" fence charger was off, and it was not!
Kid you not, that thing has a way to burn a memory in your brain, one never forgets
sure glad they pulse so one has time to pull back.

Are your replacement coils Kohler? Maybe off brand isn't holding up to the heat?

Yep Kohler coils. Since it started with a squirt of fuel I'm think it's not coil related.

After replacing the PTO switch, had the same problem and never did figure it out. You can turn the key on and jump across the blue and red wire on the relay to start it. Of course, you have to pull the side panel. As a backup to the no start, I wired a momentary toggle switch of the blue and red on the relay.

Default 1864 no start when hot.

I had the same problem with my 1872 back when they first started putting ethanol the gas, chased it for months. What fixed the 1872 for me was
Sea Foam additive. I put 2 or 3 ounces in every 5 gal can of gas and diesel, every thing gets it. the 1872 starts better hot and cold and runs smoother. i have generator that sits for months and fires right up. I put it in the 1782 smoker, the FF24 onan powered loader, the chain saws ,the toro workman ( gator ), 07 RK ,Z3 and 2011 silverado

I have always held onto the spark plug wire & got shocked, too. I quit doing that, now.
A couple of years ago, I was working on an old Onan generator that would not start. No spark at the plug & I traced the problem to a bad coil. The coil looked like an automotive coil, so I took one of a junk car I had here. Installed it & not thinking, held onto the wire when turning it over ! I " peed " sparks for 2 days !

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.
