I think I have it I am trying to get the ignition timed right I think I have it at least I hope . I am rolling the motor over and when the points break they make my digital ohm meter go to open line . I have 301 with the head off and I think I made sence of everything when exhaust valve opens when air fuel charge enter and when compression and combustion go

Did you line up the timing marks when you reassembled it?

If I knew what I was doing I would my be on here confusing the heck out of us . what I was trying to figure out is the compression stroke and making sure that I was breaking the points at the right time so that I have fire so it will run . My ohm meter is digital so it is either measuring resistance or o.l. Open line what I hope is that as I was turning the crank it was measuring resistance and when it hit the sp mark it broke the points which my ohm meter goes to o.p. . Is that right ?

Default Timing
Got to say that I read one of Jonathan's (JMECH), about timing so Just out of curiosity, I followed the procedure to time my 1450 and that thing starts so freaking easy now.

X2 that's how I did it on my 1200. It fired right up after I overhauled it and has ever since! Did the same to the 1211 and dang they both are easy to start an run great!

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.
