Hello. I've owned this Cub Cadet 1320 Hydro for 7 or 8 years. It's an early 70's model, from what I can find out about it. It has always had this quirk that when warmed up and I try to restart the engine barely moves and seems to come up on compression and just stops dead. New battery last year and it still does this. The other day I was moving firewood with the Cub pulling my 10 yd wagon and when I tried to restart it acted up again. Usually after 3 or 4 tries it will turn over normally and start and run normal. But this time I kept trying until I took out the solenoid. Now have to start it with a screwdriver across the points until I get a chance to pick up a new solenoid.
I was told that my valves may need to be adjusted because the exhaust isn't opening enough or quick enough to release the compression. Also was told that the compression release could be worn. Didn't know it had a compression release. Any ideas on which direction to take this?
Thank you for any help...
