Topic: briggs model 40 wiring question

[shadetreemechanic]

ok so today i picked up a 20hp model 40 briggs v twin my question is i want to use it on a mower frame from the early 70s and the motor has a plug that hooks up to all new mowers so how do i wire this thing to run? Ive never had to wire one from scratch does anyone have a diagram that i can use to make my motor work any help will be appreciated

Make it real easy.  Connect a wire to the coil to ground it to kill the engine.  Connect the starter through a solenoid to the battery and you are done. The rest is useless.

I am pretty sure the intek has a fuel solinoid on the bottom of the carb that needs power to run or the needle to be cut.

Thanks for the help but I'm thinking of putting the solenoid for the carb on a on/off flip switch and I got the rest figured out after talking to a guy who knows how to wire a mower engine.
