The symptoms you describe indicate a blown fuse or open connection between battery + and the ignition switch "B" terminal.

With ignition switch in the OFF position, check there is battery + voltage on both sides of the fuse and at the "B" terminal of the ignition switch.

Engine cranks but does not run.

The Kohler engine on with this model employs an impulse air driven mechanical fuel pump.

Perhaps the electrical connector you refer to is for the anti afterfire solenoid at the carburetor?

sounds like a bad short some where. from my experience i found that of i unplug the magneto and the pto clutch. it wont blow the fuse. plug one in at a time and when it blows that is your problem. could be several things but that is what i have found.

Your owners manual would be of great help. Check this site for one. https://www.manualslib.com/products/Cub-Cadet-7235-4222734.html

Likely the steering gear and pinion and/or bushings have worn down so far at a point that when you steer left to a point, it simply spins the pinion.

The mechanism is easy to see from underneath. Remove mower deck for easier access. Observe the movement of the pinion and gear as you turn the steering wheel. You likely find the teeth are all but gone.

You will likely need other steering related components, especially the two front steering ball joints and possibly shims for the pinion.

Most of these reset by themselves after 3 hrs especially after the first oil change. There's nothing wrong and there's no reset button to push. I hope this helps. Take care.

Belt tension is maintained by a spring. If it's loose, then likely something is not assembled properly or has broken.

Did you just recently install a new belt or some other repair?

Probably it dies because it either runs out of fuel or spark and considering the fuel system is new it would make sense to monitor the spark with a neon spark detector or similar.
