UPDATE 2 stroke ignition
I now have spark. It all comes down to where the blade on the black wires in the photo below are attached to the points.
When I got the Honda it wasn't running. The previous owner had tried to get it running without success and sold it to me. I replaced the points with new and connected the blade the way I found it. This was incorrect. More details to follow in the next post.

Prior to today, I had connected the blade on the black wires between the fiber washer and the points stationary base. In this configuration, the points would make/break continuity when the points open and closed. This was how I thought the points should work. Today I placed the blade on the black wires between the bolt head and the metal washer. Now the resistance between the black stator wire and the green stator wire changes from 0.3 ohms to 2.1 ohms as the points open and close. There is never a point when continuity is lost. Just the fluctuation is resistance as the points open and close. Well, I hope this explanation is clear. In any event, I now have spark.

You are not the first to be bit in the arse by putting a terminal under an insulated stud.
So glad you continued to test and not gave up or started a needless conversion. Much luck as you continue on your project.

I would like to add,
we ALL learned things , that is what is so good about the internet, and forums like this. We all have ideas, and here, nobody should feel theirs is insignificant. the only "dumb" question is the one that is not asked. When we quit learning, we have drawn our last breath.

This has been entertaining, keep us posted on how it runs when you get it running.

When he moved the wire end to between the nut and metal washer, the power could then flow to the insulated movable point through the bolt and then the points can work as intended. I've seen it before many times over the years as I grew up with points. In later years ( mid 1950's) GM addressed that problem and simplified their breaker points, by doing away with the bolt by using the tension from the spring strip on the movable point, to attach the wire end. It was/is pretty much foolproof, less expensive to manufacture and much less assembly/replacement time

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.
