cub lowboy no start

[mdm1]

Got back to it I think I got taken by a condenser again. Does have a clean carb though. I have parts for my AC and I thought they would work. No luck. The condenser was to big and the points totally different. Grandpa L you have the part numbers listed on your wall. Would you mind posting them and where you are getting your parts? Or any one else that has a good supplier. Thought the spark was good enough but maybe not. Should know not to assume anything. Thanks again. Mike

found what I need

First I apologize that it took s long to get back to this. Just busy. I feel you should reply so everyone that has given suggestions know I didn't forget the help. Put an ignition tune up kit in it today, had really good spark, fully charged good battery but still no start. I didn't smell any gas. Put it all back together and will deal with it in the spring. Again thanks for the suggestions I am grateful. Mike

I know this is an older post but here is what happened. Got back to my Dad's tractor. He only needs it to mow so no big rush here in WI. Put a new carb on its and it is running fine now. Not sure what is wrong with the old carb but it is now running. Thanks for all and any ideas.

Interested in selling the old carb?

I think for now I'm going to hang on to it. Thanks

I've always believed you should let people that have helped or given suggestions know things worked out. They deserve that.

Glad you got it fixed up. Not on a cub, but I've been down that same road. Those new china ones on ebay seem to work out pretty well.

A condenser that is going bad can produce
enough spark to fool you, but not enough
to make a tractor run. We have chased
'carb issues ' for hours. Someone on this
site suggested a condenser, quick swap and
it fired right up

Good napa part numbers on my shop wall.

Is the condenser part number is I h 200?

@Indiana George that’s what I read on GL’a wall. NAPA says it fits a Super H
NAPA IH200 condenses
The YT list for a similar replacement condenser shows a much larger list which I would agree, one condenser fits basically all IH 4 cylinders from 62 back to 39, excluding some magnetos.

Glad you got it running and without going into really deep complicated scenarios. Always best to eliminate quick and easy first, and save timing for second round.
