I put the cub to work yesterday pushin snow and ran into trouble with it running bad. Ended up replacing the wire from the points to coil, coil to condenser and the end on the positive coil wire and it was back to normal. Brought it back home to do my driveway and couldn't get it to start. It has always cranked hard. Seems like fast timing to me but I did some reading and found it has a compression relief. So I gt the cover pulled off the side and found the springs weren't holding the weights in like they were supposed to. Put them back on and it cranks over like it should and fires right up. I guess it was running so good the belt decided to come apart. Oh well that's an easy fix. In glad I got everything else fixed.
Also I have almost acquired everything I need to get the mower deck operational. I'll put up some pics when I get to work on that.
