Default A lesson on condensers

So my plan today was to take the sprayer off the 1450 and put on my tiller. Went to start it up and the battery was dead. Charged it a lil and then boosted it. Wouldn't crank wortha darn. Let it charge more and tried again. It started and ran for about 3 seconds. It then proceeded to miss and run extremely rough until it died. I called a friend and he suggested a fuel problem. Checked out what little I know. Had fuel in the tank and fuel to the carb. I was suspicious about the coil because a buddy of mine had borrowed the coil 3 weeks ago to test one of his machines out. I called Sam and he directed me to the technical section where I found a wiring diagram on how that stuff is supposed to look. So.... ya, after about an hour of my time, i found that when he re-installed the coil, the condenser got hooked to the positive side. Switched the wire round and it runs great. This was a milestone for myself as I know very very little about engines. Thanks to OCC for existing! With out occ I would not have met people that have a wealth of knowledge and can guide one to the correct information!


Thanks again Sam!

It does make a difference if the engine is properly wired.

Great story and thanks for sharing. Glad you got it fixed. It's all in the details sometimes.

And it is usually the simplest things we often overlook.

I don’t want to take the credit for this one. As I told you last night Points type ignitions are not my area of expertise. That’s where others on this forum shine. Glad I at least didn’t give you bad advice.

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.
