Default 682 ignition switch problem

My 682 ran fine when parked ( where have I heard that before? ) Now when I try to start it it dies as soon as I let go of the key, could the ignition contact be bad? I turn the key to start and it starts and dies when the key is at run.
Thanks for any help.

Replace the Ignition Switch (725-3021).

Common to have corroded/burnt terminals/plug at the rear of the battery/ignition switch. Remove connector, inspect for defects, clean and reinstall. See if it works. If not, replace the switch with a correct switch made for point style ignitions.

Yes it was corrosion at the ignition switch, I cleaned the contacts and she started and ran fine. Thanks for the help. I'm surprised it corroded since it's stored under roof.

That is a design flaw with these Cubs. There is a great deal of current going through those small terminals. The least bit of corrosion begins and then resistance, and with that comes heat, then melted connectors, then open circuit.

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.
