Got a cub a while back, motor loose, didn't have time to fool with it until this past weekend. Got it in the barn. Very little compression. Pulled the head, cleaned it up good, adjusted valves, poured some penetrating oil on the valves and let it sit an hour. No leak by. Head back on. Would not run, it would cough and puff smoke,but wouldn't catch and run. Trouble shooting led us to believe that the magneto wasn't hot enough. Put a distributor on and it fired right up!! Tinkered with it and got it running pretty good. Would fire up really quick and sounds great. Changed some fluids yesterday on it. Then fired it up and drove it around for 5-6 minutes. All good. Got it back in the barn and now it will not run. As long as starter is engaged the motor runs, throttle works, revs up and down. Let off starter and tractor dies???? What??? Let it cool off for several hours, no difference. Tried another coil no difference ( in case the old one got too hot) Also found a crack oozing water out of the block.....grrrrr. Any easy fix? Parts tractor? Poor thing was so greasy and caked with grime we couldn't see the crack. Also seeps oil out from a poorly done weld behind lower radiator hose. As little water pressure as a cub has,I wonder if JB weld or a good epoxy would seal this?

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
