Cub 100 Won't Start
I have been trying to get my great grandpa's Cub Cadet 100 running. It has been sitting in a shed for at least 10 years. I started by dropping a battery in and made sure it would turn over, which it did. I then cleaned the gas tank, sediment bowl and carb. I then attempted to start it, but it would not fire. No spark. I found out the ignition switch was the problem, so I just twisted the two wires from the ignition switch together. I then had spark, but the engine still would not fire. I tried dumping gas in the cylinder and also starter fluid. When I untwisted the two ignition switch wires, it fired and blew out the carb and air intake.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
