Default Kohler engine problem
I am trying to help my uncle work on his JD 212. ( I know... off brand, but I can't convert him. LOL) anyhow, his 212 which has a kohler 12 horse engine was idleing well. He throttled it up and it ran a few seconds then backfired. It shutoff when it did that. He tried to restart it and it wouldn't run. A half hour later it started and will idle all day long, but when you throttle it up, if seems to flood out and backfire. The carb was rebuilt a year ago and worked great. He took it off and had it checked and it is fine. What else should we look for? It seems to have lots of spark. Thanks, Jason

Throw a different coil on there if you have a spare and see if that does it. Coils can work even when they go bad until they get hot. Let it cool and it restarts. Possibly condenser too but my first guess would be coil.

Default condenser
Sounds like a bad condenser to me.
I have seen cars do the same thing, back when they still had points and condensers. I've seen one run without a condenser at all, idled fine just wouldn't rev up.

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.
