Default KT17 Condenser

The KT series condenser 52-147-01-S (aka 52-755-13-S) has two wires vs. the K series condenser 23-0722-S which has one wire. I may need to replace the one-wire condenser on my CC682 with a KT17 Series I engine which worked fine for the five years I've owned this Cub. Right now the engine doesn't start though the points are arcing but no spark at the spark plugs. I haven't yet done an electrical check of the coil. But a new condenser would be easiest and least expensive part to replace.

The wiring schematic doesn't show a second wire from the condenser. Is there a reason why I should use the two-wire condenser (different capacitance?), and where does the second wire go?

The KT-17 rolled out of the Factory with 52-755-13 Condenser. That condenser has been replaced by ---> 52-755-13S. This is a kit that includes the Mounting Screw.

The 230722-S is a Condenser for the K Series singles.

The two wires coming out of the 52-755-13S is wired as follows:
* One wire goes to the Ignition Coil
* One wire goes to the Ignition Points

You could use the 230722-S BUT....you will have to run an extra wire. Wire this condenser to the Ignition Coil. Run the extra wire from the Coil to the Points.

Thanks. I already have a wire running to the points from the same coil terminal that has a wire to the condenser, so I'm all set. This probably explains why Cub Cadet discontinued the two-wire condenser.

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.
