Default Cub "O" keeps blowing coils
I found an "O", runs great, just got done pulling tree limbs around with it. It died and has no spark, but this is the 2nd coil it's been through. Keep in mind, it was redone approx 10 years ago and then sat 5 years and the P.O got it to run not too long before I bought it. Any suggestions?

Oh and stupid question, but how can you tell if a coil is totally done? I'm new to electrical

Possibly the coil is not bad and it is another component in the circuit causing a no spark condition.

Could be too much power out of the regulator.

That would be better if it wasn't the coil

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.
