Well after all this work the mower still runs 30 minutes gets hot and shuts off.
I will install new plugs and check for spark. What should the resistance be on the secondary of the ignitioin module between the two plug wires?
Can this be replaced and air gap set without pulling the engine?

thanks for all the help.

I have a M18 that would run for about 10-15 mins then shut off and would not restart until it was cool. The magneto was the culprit. A new OEM Kohler magneto fixed it. The engine should be pulled to properly replace it. Also, ensure the fuel system is venting.

That sucks! That would be pretty tough to pull the blower housing with the engine in the machine. I'd just pull it out and remove the shrouds and give it a good cleaning. Probably wouldn't hurt to pull the flywheel too and inspect and clean everything behind it too. I know, a lot of extra work but it really isn't that hard to pull the engines out of these things. There is a testing procedure for the mags and everything else in the manual found here. https://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/...ead.php?t=4648

short answer, yes,---- and you can down load it free if needed.

I'm betting you will find a wad of chit around the magneto coil, never saw one that didn't have an accumulation there.
Also, look behind the flywheel and you will see chit accumulated there in the stator windings also.
Check to see if the "Maggots" are still glued to the flywheel while blowing things clean with compressed air
Treat them good and they will last a long time!

Thanks the ser man is great. The un-noticed mouse nest behind my engine really caused alot of damage. I will be taking an ohm reading soon on the secondary of the magneto. It ran 30 min the other day got hot shut off and then the next day fired right up. I ha ve my 89 F-150 4x4 in the garage now so i will be a few days getting back to you all. Happy 4th and thanks so much for all your help.

Can you get to the magneto easily to clean?

Are your mags any good?

If you pull the engine out, all you need to do is remove the shroud....and if you're that far into it you may as well pull the flywheel. With the flywheel pulled you can clean and inspect the magnets and also do the oil seal for the crank.

I know, that's probably a lot more work but then you can forget about it once it's done.

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.
