Hi, new to the forum. Just picked up a used Cub Cadet 11A-MC056 959-468 in non running condition. It had a broken handle and hard to pull pull string. I believe the engine model number is 1p70FUA.
So far i have replaced the broken handle, replaced the fly wheel key (even though the original looked fine), adjusted the valves (intake at .006 and exhaust at .008). I think i did this correctly (Put my finger over the spark plug hole and rotated the engine until compression stroke, placed a plastic straw in the spark plug hole and continued to turn until the highest point to find TDC). The edge of the head makes this engine difficult to get a feeler gauge in.
I can get the mower started and it runs fine, but occasionally the string still yanks back very hard (feels like it's going to break some fingers!)
Any suggestions on what to do next? The blade does not have any chips or dents in it to indicate that the PO hit something. Should i remove the blade and inspect the adapter keyway? Or would this even make a difference? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
