Lots of talent here, so I'll give this a try.

1978 Honda Hobbit PA50II
magneto ignition with points, coil with external condenser
Problem: no spark

If anyone wants to play along, I'll post all my diagnostic info on here.

Any takers?

If he has a problem with a 3 stoke sinusoidal encapsulation valve causing the bi-directional sleeve valve to convolute the electro magnetic field to reverse polarity he can try inversing the vari-valve accumulator ball valve to restore retro firing of the after burner causing the directional reversing of the power piston.
That should rectify the platinum ferro deposit transfer.

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.
