tommybro 1 #1 Posted August 8, 2013 Hi, I am having problems switching from a newer style k301 ( with a starter to the flywheel ) to an older style k301 ( with a starter generator ) the Kohler with the starter generator will do nothing but spark when you put on the key, you can hear and feel it through the spark plug. This tractor is a charger 12 the old motor had a major gouge in the cylander and the newer / older engine was free ! On the ignition switch I have: 2:00 Goes to starter 3:00 Battery 6:00 Empty 9:00 + side of coil 11:00 Empty On the starter generator from left to right 1: Empty 2: Battery 3: Goes to ground on starter Red wire from under box goes to starter bolt with wire from 2:00 ignition switch Coil +side 9:00 from ignition switch -side condensor and points Battery is grounded to the block on the extra hole on bottom of block sanded well for good contact. Please help this is driving me crazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SousaKerry 500 #2 Posted August 9, 2013 I would look up the wiring diagram from a 1257 or similar tractor from the 60's with the same motor setup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
