Default series 3000 fires on one cylinder

I have a 3235 with a Command 25 Kohler engine. After changing plugs and treating the gas, I verified that I only had spark on the left cylinder. I wanted to examine and probably replace the ignition coil, but after looking at the location by the ring gear that I believe I have to access, it looks like I have to pull the engine? I will have to turn that over to a shop that is set up for that if necessary, but can someone tell me if this is true? Thanks for any help.

First, welcome to OCC....

Before I would run to a Repair Shop, I would look at the plugs (new ones do come bad out of the box on occasion) and/or the Plug Wire.

Thanks R Bedell. I tried both plugs on the left plug wire and both fired. I don't know how to verify the right plug wire. After downloading the .pdf for the 3235 so I can see the exploded view, I can't see how I can get at the coil (ignition module) without taking the engine out. But, then again I haven't had really any experience with the ignition before. Had to attach a shot of getting real stuck by the pond with the old 8N

Here is what they look like. You will need to pull the engine to get to them as far as I know. Do you have a volt/ohm meter to do a few tests before you go that far?

Oh, that is a true garden tractor you have so you can post up with the big boys in the GT section.

You're probably sol but you can download the manual here if you don't have it. It has a few tests that you can do to test the module. Good luck.

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.
