Is your generator a combination stater/generator or is it a regular generator? If it is a single purpose generator only, I would convert to an alternator. It will maintain the battery better than a generator and will normally recharge the battery quickly following cranking. Once the output drops off, the load to the engine is lessened. Trust me, a Cub engine needs all the relief it can get. An additional assistance to getting the maximum power yield from the underpowered engine is to check the level of the mower deck. The optimum situation is to lower the mower deck to the desired cutting height and then place a carpenter's level oriented front to back on the deck and the bubble should be about half a bubble off level with the front of the deck being the lower part. Conditions of level or the front being higher than the rear results in the blades having to do greater work due to recutting what the leading edge already cut. On some decks, the existing adjustments will not permit the deck being angled as described without modification. It is worthwhile to make the correction even if you have to get the work done by a shop. I had discontinued using my Cub until I came by this remedy. Best of luck.
