If your Cub Cadet Tractor's engine won't start, try these solutions: 1. Ensure the PTO/Blade Engage knob is disengaged (OFF). 2. Engage the parking brake. 3. Position the drive control levers fully outward in neutral. 4. Check and connect the spark plug wires. 5. Put the throttle lever in the fast position. 6. Activate the choke. 7. Fill the fuel tank with fresh gas. 8. Clean any blockage in the fuel line and replace the fuel filter. 9. Inspect, clean, adjust, or replace the spark plug(s). 10. If flooded, crank the engine with the throttle in the FAST position.
