Does anyone know the length of the points rods? I keep running into a problem where my points wear enough that they no longer close but I can not get the adjustment back due to lack of room. The points still have meat on them so the only thing I can think of is the rod or cam is worn. Anyone have any other suggestions? This is on a K181 in a 86 if that makes any difference.

IF.....the Point Push Rod was to wear, then the point gap would get closer and eventually stay closed.

It's not the length, it is the points in between. ?
Are they Kohler points?

Some aftermarket points are not the same, the screw that the points wire attaches to hits the back side of the points making the only adjust so far.
first pic is aftermarket. Second is kohler.

10-16 is 1.500" to 1.600" and a 7-8 HP is 1.250" to 1.260".

They are aftermarket points from NAPA, I thought about the screw interfering but didn't take the time to play with it yet. I am going through a set of points ever six to eights months that seems excessive what do y'all think? It goes from hitting and running on the second revolution to no spark due to the points not closing. When I static time it to the correct gap they still move but do not close all the way. I noticed on the last set that in order to get the gap set correctly I have to move them past the notch that you are suppose to use a screw driver to set the gap with. Also when a tighten the plate to the block it twists just enough that the points don't close squarely. Any thoughts? I know pictures would be good but I am not at home this weekend. I can take some on Sunday if it will help anyone.

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.
