Evening Gentlemen just traded a S/S Snow Blower for a supposed C 81 which had "starting issues". It was getting dark (PO works till 4:00PM) so first thing I did was hook my jump box to it and attempt to crank her over.... she did turn, had some compression and coughed weakly but did not start....... since the tractor overall condition was good I took the trade.... It has been painted over so there are no readable tags on the tractor and engine..... it was pitch black when I got her home but I found something right away that peaked my height of confusion .... the battery was mounted backwards the positive was going to ground and the negative to the one side of the solenoid...... how the heck did the engine crank???? was it rotating backwards???? The only thing else I had time to do was jump the solenoid, she cranked no spark jumped the coil to 12v and the removed plug had good spark...... so to be continued tomorrow with a wiring diagram Assume the first thing to do is connect the positive side of the battery to the left side of the solenoid and the negative to a good ground and proceed while running the wiring diagram.... one other thing did the make C 81 three (3) speeds???? as it does not have a hi > low lever (slot is there)...... Thanks
