Default 129 Hard Starting
Hey guys I am looking for some help/advice as to why my 129 might be starting "hard". It turns over fine but intermittently it will suddenly stop turning over all at once with a "bang" almost as if something is catching? When I get it started it runs excellent I just don't know what's going on with the starting issue. Any help is appreciated.

I would put in a new Autolite 216 spark plug, file/sand the points or put in a new set,set the timing,pull off the cylinder head,clean and de-carbon,put on a new Kohler head gasket and torque it 3 times.Also,check the spark plug wire where it goes into the coil to see if it is corroded. Use a wire that is actually a stranded wire,not graphite.I believe all these things will help it start and run better.

From what you describe it sounds like your acr isn't working like it should. I don't know enough about it to give you any info. Others with more experience will help you.

automatic compression release. its on the cam shaft and it opens the exhaust valve slightly while your starting the engine so it can roll over easier, if its not functioning properly, it can make starting the engine a real pain.

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.
