Points not engaging but cam works
My 1650 failed to start a few weeks ago when I pulled it our of winter storage. Sputtered and popped but would not run. After a bit of troubleshooting I realized the points were not moving at all. The pin that rides on the cam wasn't moving when I turned the engine over by hand.
I pulled the cam gear cover off and it was turning. So I'm at a loss.. What does this mean ?

Maybe the "push rod" is worn down. In the K Series Service Manual, there is a specification as to how long the rod should be.

>> If you push on the point push rod, does it follow the cam lobe
No. The pin that rides on the cam wasn't moving at all when I rotated the engine. However the pin is very loose and easily moved.

pull the pin out with your fingers and check length.
it is either broken , or the lobe is worn off the cam, or the cam is broken and/or not rotating where the point rod sits. None of these are common problems.

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.
