Cub Cadet 1200 spark issues
Hi people,
I need some help with my cub. Has been running pretty flawless. Went to start this morning to no avail. Pulled plug and has a little gas on it so getting gas. Tried to turn it over with plug out but connected. Seems like no spark with starter engaged trying to start it but when I release ignition some spark shows up till engine stops spinning. Can someone help me try and diagnose this ? Thanks.

I would suggest checking your Battery Cable connections. Both cables, both ends, to make sure they are clean, bright, and tight.
Next have your Battery "Load Tested" to see if it is up to par.

Have to apologize. I missed the part where you say spark only appears with key released in run mode and not in crank mode... generally when this happens either the key switch itself is bad or you have a poor connection at keyswitch. As Roland said. Check terminals then check connections at key switch.

Update to my issues.
So I cleaned the battery terminals , and the points. Charged the battery cause I forgot to shut key off yesterday. Pulled plug reconnected to wire and turned over. Lots more spark. Put plug back in and tried to start, it started but only low idle for a while then quit. Dropped bowl on bottom of carb to check float, looked good. Backed out adjustment screws on carb, cleaned and put back all the way in then backed off about 2 turns. Seems like getting gas, spark looks ok although every once in a while looks sparse . Last time I used it on Saturday it seemed like it was running out of gas ( but actually was ok ) pulled it into garage and accidentally turned off ignition at full throttle causing it to backfire before stopping . Not sure where to go from here, any other help would be appreciated and thank you to the few guys that already replied. Joe

I would run a wire from the battery to the coil directly and see how it runs with it that way.
DO NOT leave it this way, for testing only.

In other words you would be hot wiring the coil so you have battery power directly to the + side of the coil.
This test would eliminate various other components/switches that could be malfunctioning. If it runs, you would need to remove the wire to stop the engine. Also FWIW: When the key is left on, bad things can happen, besides the battery discharging. If the ignition points happen to be together, a coil can be ruined/burned up, also the points can be burned/overheated.

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.
