Cranks and sparks but no run. 1811
Hey guys, this is my first post after i have been lurking for about a month now.
Recently acquired my fathers 1811 that he purchased new in 1990. some of my earliest memories are riding this thing around the lawn. he got a zero turn a few years back and it has been sitting for probably 2-3 years. got a new 18hp kohler a few years before it was retired to the shed Now that i have some grass of my own i offered to take the old 1811 hydro off his hands. when i got it back to my place i was having trouble getting it to crank. changed the solonoid and ignition switch only to find that it was the brake safety that was hitching up that 12v signal. Now i can get it to turn over no problem with the key. However nothing fires. it just cranks. i had changed the spark plugs so i tried the old ones. still nothing. cranked it with the plugs removed and arked them onto the frame, and they are sparking. after cranking the starter for probably longer than i should have gas started dripping out of the front mounted muffler. which i assume is just because its getting pumped through the engine sans combustion. Its possible that the engine is now flooded exacerbating my problem? i am curious if a simple blast of starting fluid in the right place would get it kicking or if there is anything to get that first fireball to emerge. if anyone has a pointer to help send me in the right direction i would really appreciate it. its spring and the grass is growing.

It takes four things to make combustion
(1) Fuel (2) Air (3) Spark (4) Compression YOU say you have fuel, spark, and air, so it might be you have less than the minimum compression to accomplish combustion.

Possibly a weak battery.

the battery is brand new and the gas is fresh premium no ethanol with fuel stabilizer.
you may be right about the carb. i noticed a little gas on it after i worked it over with the starter. I assume that is evidence of some improper function. i will look into rebuilding the carb. good advice!

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.
