Having problems. Starter switch does not engage starter motor, nor moves amperage guage when clicked on. Engine turns over when key is in on position, and crossing cellanoid with battery, remains running for a very short while with high reves, when hot wire remmoved. Sounds like starter/generator issues? Seem to be getting good spark. Rebuilt carb, but need settings for top and side needle valves. Currently 1 1/2 each. Just bought it. It was running good up to November the owner says.Any help you guys can give would really be appreciated. Thanks.

Hey guys! Just joined the forum, just bought a 60's model Cub Cadet 124, 12hp. Getting good spark. Points are ok. Starter key does move amperage guage when first clicked on, nor engage starter motor. Engine will start by hot wiring solenoid over to battery, when hot wire is disconnected, engine will run rough for a few minutes, then cut out. I rebuilt carb, and need correct settings for top and side screws. Been reading about break or seat bypass switch. Does this model have either? What is the correct way to start this baby? I think the tractor will serve my gang mower well.
