My LT 1045 (Kohler SV600 engine) was running fine when I almost ran it out of gas. I added gas but it started running with a miss so I changed the fuel filter. Got it running again and it ran fine (even at high rpm) -- miss was gone. Then I tried to use it the next day and it only turned over to a certain point and would stop (kind of like if the battery was dead). If I manually move the engine past this point (I think it is at the top of the compression stroke) it will turn over again but only to the same point. If I remove the spark plug, it turns over fine. It even started again once after I put the plug back in but, once I shut it off and put the shroud back on the flywheel, it went back to where it would only crank to the same point and then stop. I have a new battery in the mower (300CCA).
Cub Cadet LT1045 only cranks if plug is removed.

Replace & gap new OEM plugs for your engine. Check all ground cables by hand trying to move them starting with battery, making sure no corrosion & cables are tight & secure.
