Default still confused

I have an oem switch part# IH-60736-C3 installed which i believe is the correct part? Also as best I can tell all is wired correctly.

Now i am back to the issue of when i turn the key to the start position the starter/gen turns as it should and then when I let key back to the run position the starter/gen still runs constantly.....Any thoughts?

Also found that the carb now leaks fuel....likely stuck float or bad bowl gasket...should be an easy fix!

The Ignition Switch is correct for the 129. (A) The Ignition Switch is defective, (B) not wired correctly, or (C) a wiring harness issue (shorted wires).

Fair chance your starter constantly turning engine over without running is leading you to believe you have a fuel leak from carburetor.....in other words, flooding!

Default Still frustrated

Checked over wiring as best as possible without tearing things completely apart....all looks good. Checked all 4 wires on voltage regulator all are connected to correct terminals. Would a bad ground somewhere cause the starter to run continuously in the run position? Otherwise I'm out of ideas....I have an oem voltage regulator from my spare 129 which ran fine before I borrowed it.

The wire harness for the 129 should have a 3 pin connector for the ignition switch so there SHOULD be no way to connect it improperly.

Default Clarification

Clarifcation i have an oem v/r installed and wired correctly. Would an incorrectly wired starter generator cause it to turn continuously with the ignition in the run position?

129Richard,,,,What do you mean EXACTLY when you say " when I turn the key to the run position,the starter/generator runs constantly" ?.
Is the engine running when you return the key to the "run" position?
Of course the starter/generator is still turning whenever the engine is running,because it is turned by the belt so it can "generate".
It is not like a starter on a car or a lawnmower that stops turning when you turn the key to the "run" position. It turns all the time when the engine is running to "generate". That is why it is called a starter/generator.

I bought a new (wrong) voltage regulator once that caused the starter to run as soon as I hooked up the battery (with key in the off position IIRC). Turns out it was for a International Farmall 100 tractor (which DOES NOT use a starter/generator) and not an International Harvester Cub Cadet 100 garden tractor.

The engine just turns over with the switch in run position after trying to start. When I did get it started as soon as I returned the switch to run position the engine shuts off? Hope this makes sense.

It's a wiring issue
Only hot wire in the run position should be to the coil.
Think about it.
Time to break out some test equipment.

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.
