Hello
So ive read alot on here but am a new member but im 27 my name is Ian and im bringing back to life a 1968 cub cadet 125 that only ever blew snow its whole life I got from original owner so I found a mule drive and deck on craigslist new blades new oil pan. Anyways down to one final issue starting it has started fine but rather slow to fire it has a new spark plug and new battery but the starter will spin faster with it hooked up to the battery charger and fires immediately its not the battery I think im either getting too much resistance from my coil which reads around 3.0 or my starter needs to be rebuilt just wondering if you can help me find the solution faster?
Thanks

Connections are all good I thought it might be my points so I looked and they were a little burnt so i cleaned them up and got my gap back to .2 hopefully it fixes the issue. Your opinion if the problem continues?

Try using the static timing method outlined in the tech section. Once I saw that I quit gapping points.
Put a new set of points in and try the static method. As far as the starting better hooked to the charger, either your battery isn't big enough or your starter is pulling too many amps, or the connections aren't as good as you think. Sometimes corrosion is hidden inside the cable.

Thanks Terry maybe just repacing the wires for battery to starter generator wouldn't be a bad idea. And I did mean to type .02 gap my apologies I will update if any solution makes a superior noticeable difference.
Thanks for your replies

Trust us the "S" mark in there just darn hard to see sometimes.'
it should appear pretty close to the opening of the points, it helps to have a bright concentrated light. once found, a white paint marker to highlight it helps.

Thanks George I got it figured out and it was actually right on and at full spread it was .020 now next issue I think it could be my coil now I had a battery tender on it and my key was on but my coil was super hot to the touch is this normal? Also my resistance on my coil with key off is 2.0 ohms does this tell you guys anything? So close to having this cub right back to 1968

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.
