Default Cub cadet 1450
Hello, i have a 1450 cub thats been acting up on me.
I can run it for about an hour n then it quits, it would run after awhile then do the same thing,
I put in a new coil, wire, and relocated the coil under dash, it fired righ up and i used it to backblade my driveway for about an hour or so and it was running great, then it quit, just like i turned off the key. So i waited a couple hours and tried to start it again and nothing. I pulled the plug, check for spark, nothing. So i opened up the points, cleaned them up, rolled over and i have spark at points but still nothing at the plug.even tried a different plug wire. I noticed that when i turn the key on, the coil gets really hot to the touch and its not even running, i thought the old coil was getting hot from running it so thats why i changed it. It pretty much did the same thing as the old coil but now i lost spark at the plug.
Any ideas? I checked n doublechecked all wires.

Put a 12V test light on the points side of your coil and spin the engine over. What does the test light do?

If the coil is getting that hot I'd suspect it's junk.

The brand is standard uc12, from auto parts store

That's an automotive coil without an internal resistor. You need a coil with an internal resistor of 3.8 to 4.2 ohms. Go to NAPA and get an IC64 coil or get the proper Kohler replacement.

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.
