Default CC 1862 Ignition Module

I have a CC 1862 which I think the ignition module has gone bad. Would not start. Did not have any spark. I moved some wires around and it started and ran for a couple of days. Today, the same thing. I looked for a short somewhere, but found nothing, I tested the white kill wire coming from the ignition module to the ignition switch and, with the key on, it is not grounded, but still no spark.

Couple of questions:

Do I have to pull the engine to get to the ignition module or can I remove enough shrouds to get into it?

Is there any way to test the module once it is removed (or even before it is removed, would be better)?

Where is a good place to get a new module? Kohler M18S; Spec..24646, Serial # 2017319496

Thanks for any advice, suggestions, or recommendations.

Best way to get it off is to pull the motor and the tins. I think you could pull the fuel tank and take the rear shroud off, but honestly it's easier to pull the motor.

If you wiggled some wires and it ran, you likely have a short. Most likely place is behind the engine tins where it attaches to the Mag. That's the most common place for the short.

As far as where to buy, I suggest genuine Kohler, but Stens and Prime Line should also make them. I don't have an issue with those aftermarket parts, but the Kohler ones seem to last a long time. Buy wherever you want, dealer, ebay, Napa.... Your choice.

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.
