Why Cub Cadet Tractor engine fails to start?
If your Cub Cadet Tractor engine won't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the PTO/Blade Engage knob is disengaged (OFF). Next, verify that the parking brake is fully engaged. Check that the spark plug wires are securely connected to the spark plugs, and the throttle control lever is in the fast position. Also, the LPG tank may be empty, or the fuel may be stale, in which case you should replace the LPG tank. A blocked fuel line can also prevent starting, so clear any blockages. Faulty spark plugs should be cleaned, adjusted, or replaced. Finally, if the engine is flooded, crank it with the throttle in the FAST position.
