Topic: Help with wiring

[jmiracle83]

I was just given a stx 30 which has the kohler command 9 ohv , engine. I working on tring to wire for push button and toggle kill ( which is temporary) just to see if I can get it to run before starting my build. The problem is there are so many wires around engine I'm not sure which I need and the ones I dont. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

There should be a kill wire running to the coil.  I don't believe that engine has a smart spark ignition.  You should be able to ground the wire to the coil to shut it off.  That engine is the same displacement as a 12.5 Command but there is a stop screw in the carb to prevent the throttle from opening completely.  If you take that screw out you have a 12.5.

Thanks , it has a voltage regulator with 1 black wire and 2 white wires that run under the flywheel, and also theres a wire that runs to the bottom of the carb. Where do I hook the wires to get power.? It's has the silonoid on the starter not separate like most I've worked on.

Run hot wire from battery to one side of toggle, the other side of toggle to the small wire on the starter, suggest you use a push button for starting.

Got the starter button working and making starter engage just not getting power to fuel shutoff silonoid. and not sure where to run the wires for the stator under flywheel. Also can I bypass the wires going to the pto clutch?

I posted this maybe I could explain better, I need to get power to the red x, and need to know do I hook the blue x 's, to the push button or do I need a 3rd switch. Thanks again for input.
