    Original no spark issue

    I recently bought a cub cadet original. It’s in rough shape but it’s all there with a snow plow and 3 point hitch. Pretty good deal for $150! Been trying to get it running doing the usual stuff, fresh gas cleaning the carb fixing wiring issues. I’ve got it cranking over but I’m getting no spark...

    I thought that was the case but I double checked that after I got off work a little while ago and it did crank without the regulator ground connected. Did some digging last night and found a kit containing the points, condenser and a new coil all made in America supposedly so I’m waiting for...

    so does that mean I need to find a regulator with a ground on it and would that be part of my other problems?
  7. W

    cub cadet 72

    so the ground up by the regulator is just to ground the regulator itself?

    ive been over that diagram more times than i can count lol and there is a ground wire shown in that diagram going from the battery to the regulator

    cub cadet 72

    yes but there was a ground wire in the harness that went to the original regulator and the engine wouldnt crank over unless it was grounded

    they are not as of yet i was trying to get the ignition and charging system straight before i wired them up

    cub cadet 72

    i ended up having to ground it elsewhere and i did put lights on it
  13. W

    cub cadet 72

    the old one also had ground and no tab for lights since the tractor did not come with them the new one does not have a tab for ground

    cub cadet 72

    the people i dealt with for the gen rebuild were great and knew their stuff. and i did put a new regulator on it and have had nothing but problems ever since
  17. W

    cub cadet 72

    no i do not i couldnt get a read on it im starting to suspect i have a regulator problem
  18. W

    cub cadet 72

    how would i test the ohms? ive always had horrible luck when it comes to electric ignition systems lol. when i had the gen rebuilt i had them replace the stock coils in it to 30 amp to get more juice out of it. could that have anything to do with it?

    cub cadet 72

    Well I spoke too soon. After running for a while she started running bad acting like the points were out of adjustment I shut it down and after letting it cool off I checked the points and the plastic on the points had melted causing them not to spark. Any suggestions?

    Had some success with this 72. Had to track down a solenoid for it. After that she’s running and charging great
