Default 1650 points help
I've been trying to read and learn how to do this. Are the points supposed to close all the way and touch together. And when they are open they should be .020. Is that correct?

Also how do I adjust them farther apart? At the moment they only open to .015.

.015 to 0.20 is a good starting point

Start at .015-.020 and then do the final point setting to set the timing per the manual.

To adjust, just loosen the screw a little that secures the points to the block and then put the screwdriver in the provided slots on the points. Twist the screwdriver to open/close the gap.

Ok, so I used the static timing method with a test light and it really helped running at WOT. I've got the RPM's up to 3250 from 2840 just with that. Now it will not run at lowest throttle setting. It runs good wot, but when lowering throttle it gets rough, and will die if I go below 1/4 of the way up. Any suggestions?

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.
