The fact that it has a spark when the batt terminal is connected, and not when it is disconnected indicates that the Voltage relay cutout points are likely to be welded closed from either sticking from old age --Probable-- or from an incorrectly installed battery then started. Either can cause sticking. I would pull the cover off of it and see if the heavy set of contacts in it are closed. They should not be. Gently seperate them and use a finger nail file to dress them smooth, Then use a folded dollar bill to wipe them clean while pushing them together. If when you test the spark on the terminals it no longer does it with the batt terminal attached to the reg. start it and see if it works. if then sparks when shut off. (not good) I would replace the regulator. (american Made only) best of luck, Jim
Well, well.....guess what I found. There was 2 wires twisted together behind the dash and I noticed that the key switch was not hooked up at all. I assumed those wires to go to the switch since no other wires were unhooked. I put on new terminal ends, hooked up the switch, and low and behold the spark is gone!!! The Cub Cadet has the original style key switch and didn't come with a key. I didn't think about it not coming with a key and therefore they left it wired together. I have several copies of original keys, so by hooking it back up it is functional now.
I poured some gas in the tank and fired over on the starter for several turns, choked it, fired it over again, and it started right up. It runs excellent, with the exception of just quitting randomly after being ran for around 5-10 minutes. When it dies, it starts right back up. It revs up and down perfectly and idles perfectly. I'm not too concerned at this point. The coil felt warm, but not hot. I'm sure that is normal. I also took my multimeter and put the leads on the battery posts with it running. It read 12.45 volts, so I guess that is a good sign that the generator is charging.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
