Getting the 1200 started!
If the engine is now running, but only for a short time, the fuel supply to the carburetor might be the problem. Have you checked your fuel tank? Did you remove the shutoff valve (these get blocked up) and clean the screen, check the fuel line and the gas cap? Cleaned the inside of the tank? Are you using fresh fuel???
Here is an idea for you to try...  Disconnect the fuel line from the carb and use a longer piece of line. Connect one end of the longer hose to a plastic squeeze bottle with a nipple on the end. A clear bottle works best...the kind you find at the dollar store. Put some gas in the bottle, hold it hose end down with your finger over the other hose end and bleed the air from the line before attaching it to the carb. Continue to hold the bottle, hose end down, higher than the engine and squeeze it while you start it. This will pressurize the fuel delivery to the carb to be sure it is getting fuel. You may need to have a helper while doing this... Hopefully the engine will run a little longer than it had been running before and identify if there is indeed a fuel delivery problem. Note: the engine won't run very long because the bottle is sealed. If this works, punch a hole in the bottom of the bottle to allow it to gravity feed the carb and try it again without squeezing. (You could also use a small funnel for this.) Remember to keep the hole in the end of the bottle upright to avoid a fuel spill! 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.
