Wheel Horse charging wiring

Recommended Posts

Hey guys I need some help with my 79 wheel horse c-111.  I upgraded the engine to the 16hp vanguard. I am wiring everything up now and ran into a little silver metal box with the letters b s h on it.  The H goes to ground and one other wire goes to the shut off.  I need to know what this little box is.  

 

Thanks for any help.

Welcome to the forum.

Sure it is not a voltage regulator?

Lights are a little brighter today. The b s h sounded familiar but couldn't connect the dots.

That will be a kill relay. The B&S engines use a magneto ignition so no battery power is needed or wanted in the ignition wire. Wheel Horse at the time used a battery style of ignition switch plus a kill relay to control the ignition.

There were two different versions of the relay used.

Not real sure what it is.  I am starting to think it's something to do with the safety system.  All of the safety sensors wiring goes through it.  I have the new engine running and charging, so I think I am going to leave well enough alone.  Thanks for the reply.
