Let me just start off with, I haven't worked on many B&S motors, mostly Tecumseh or clones.
Picked up a Heald Hauler with an electric start B&S 11hp. The wiring was all fubar, key switch was gone, horn button in it's place, wires to handlebar kill and start switch cut, etc. I was told the motor ran and then just quit, no spark.
Check the spark plug wire.
There was another wire coming from the points that went to the back of the throttle control that was disconnected.
Also the trigger wire to the coil was just twisted and hanging free.
And lastly the wire from the alternator had been cut, no diode, no regulator.
I found a pdf of B&S alternators that shows mine with either a regulated or tri-circuit set-up. Not sure how to post a pdf file or I would show you.
So to end this long post my questions are,
Does anybody know what that second wire from the points is for?
Does anybody know or used one of those alternator set-ups?
Any info would be appreciated, thx
