My friend just went through this. Our NAPA sells both. He bought aftermarket first, dead, right from the start. Then oem good to go. Mike

Rather than guessing. I wonder if someone here knows the impedance of a new coil. Might be good to test them.

Update:
So, I bit the bullet and purchased a oem Kohler magneto. The good news is that I have spark and that in order to get spark on a Mag 18 all you need is a good magneto and flywheel magnet. But, might I suggest that if you do this test make sure there is no fuel in the carb. In my haste to check my new magneto, I created an OH S***! moment, and as my plug that I removed from the head had just enough time to spark once, the other fired inside the other cylinder and the engine started....on the bench. That will get you blood pumping if your not ready for it!

Also, I put a meter to the new magneto vs. the old ones and found this:
Between plug wires

Old OEM magneto: 28k ohms

New OEM magneto: 32k ohms

#1 Chinese magneto: 15k ohms
#2 Chinese magneto: 15k ohms

All were open to ground.

Not good. OEM, with respect to specifications, is always best.

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.
