Ride on Mower electrics

[Michael Mackay-Blair]

Here is a good one for you.... Does anyone have a Cct Dia for a Bolens 13HLT
fitted with a Briggs and Straton 3800333 engine.

My dog a puppy Bordercollie/keplie cross decided the wiring would be a good
food source. I have rewired the obvious ones but still have some others that
make no sense. I can get the mower started but the only way to turn it off
is to open the choke and shut the throttle. It appears that the isolation
cct for the spark plug is not in cct. Any hints ( apart from shooting the
dog).

I am thinking of changing the dogs name to sparky ( I said it before anyone
else did)

TIA Michael

Kick him in the nuts and you're never quite sure whether he'll make a
bolt for the door or a race for your balls.

Magneto job? If so, the kill switch is normally a shorting switch across a
tap on the coil creating a "shorted turn" to kill the engine.

Battery job? Conventional Kettering ignition uses a series ignition switch
to remove battery power from the coil/points.
