First post white smoke
I recently acquired a cc 125 and have addressed a few problems it had and had it running great. Today I washed it off with the pressure washer and let I sit for 20 min or so idling before I parked it. I then parked it and shut it off then had to move it again after starting it a huge cloud of white smoke came out from under it and it sputtered and died. I checked the oil for gas, changed it, checked the air filter then tried to restart it. Nothing. I tried spraying quick start in the carb and still couldn't get it. It turns over fine it seems like it's not getting a spark though. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Pressure washers do that. You have a wet coil inside the spark plug wire connection OR wet points. I suspect both. Take the points cover off and you wlll see condensation from the pressure washer. Take the spark plug wore off the coil, look inside , and you will probably see moisture. Take WD-40 and spray both AFTER taking a rag to the moisture. Mop up the remaining WD-40, and you should be good to go.

 Just to mention another option to the great advice that others have already provided....You may also want to dry off and sand the frame and wire connection of your ground wire to make sure that you have a really good ground connection.Cub Cadet 123

I have had this problem with my 149.
I dried the points and it ran. Check your point cover to make sure there is a gasket between the points cover and a groment on the wire going to the points.

Easiest way to check is in the dark, Look for spark jumping to ground around the coil, spark plug wire and spark plug. It will show up real well in the dark.

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.
