Default Point saver; Question?


Getting ready to attach point saver thingie on my # 127- 12hp., Kohler.

Before doing this i'm somewhat puzzled at the BEST location as to mounting it? I'm wondering if any-one else has one where did you mount your's?


This is a NO-BRAINER to hooking up & mounting but i dont want to have to change locations.

Thanks in advance.

Nik,

how often did guys change your points that you need a point saver? My K321 I put a set of points in when I rebuilt it back in 84 or 85 . I use a 0 ohm Chevy coil with a strategically placed resistor. they are still in it today. My
K241 I have no idea when the points were changed. On our pullers the only reason we went away from points was how much timing changed through an RPM range.

When I bought my 108 it ran but the points were pitted really bad. I installed a pointsaver when i replaced the points. Also replaced the used coil with a Bosch Coil. Pointsaver replaces the condensor. What i really like about the pointsaver is it's incredibly easy to set the timing. When the points open, the light comes on.

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.
