    1650 Cub w/ K341 Engine (Bad Compression)

    Thank you for your helpful reply. I made an error w/ my original post in that I replaced the solenoid, not the regulator. The hood support plate was missing. I was able to find one, but it cost $35. You bring up a good point about OEM parts. I bought the majority of them via C&S...

    Thanks. I'm weak on electrical troubleshooting. Will check that out when I get the Cub back next week.

    1650 Cub w/ K341 Engine (Bad Compression)

    Thanks for your understanding, insight and kind response to a novice Cub lover. I agree with what you suspect about the repair shop. I'd like to get it running because I know that once it does, regardless of its age, it will be of better quality than most new garden tractors. That aside, I'm a...

    1650 Cub w/ K341 Engine (Bad Compression)

    Wisconsin. They're a busy Cub dealer that's been in business for decades, so I suspect they know the ins 'n outs of taking a compression check. Ignition switch, PTO switch, wiring harness, regularor, battery, neutral safety switch, carburetor, battery and a host of non-operating parts that...

    1650 Cub w/ K341 Engine (Bad Compression)

    I bought a 1650 that started at the sale, but wouldn't start once I got it home. I tried part after part w/ no luck. Finally took it to a repair shop where I learned that the engine has very low compression. They've estimated $700-1000 for repair. I've already got $800 invested in the...

    1650 Starting Problems

    The clutch clicks w/ the key on when I flip the PTO switch. No clicks from the solenoid. I confirmed the wiring harness was correctly connected and confirmed the grounds. Shorted the two big terminals on the solenoid. It started, but ran rough as heck and I didn't have enough hands to hold...

    1650 Starting Problems

    Thanks. Bought the PTO switch from CC Specialties (vendor on this site) based on part number in Cub Parts diagram. Switch appears to be in good shape. Thanks for the feedback. You've given me some things to ponder/check!

    There's no safety switch connected. Will check into the PTO thing. Thanks!

    Tx. Used the diagram provided by the guy who made the wiring harness. Will double-check it, though!

    1650 Starting Problems

    I bought a 1650 w/ seller's words that "it needs some TLC". Turns out it's missing all kinds of parts and needs major surgery. He started it by touching a loose wire somewhere. Got it home & could not for the life of me figure out how to start it. As I looked into it, I found the wiring...
