Cee245 856 #1 Posted June 11 My 314h won't shut down with the key switch. I've checked the wiring and there is no noticeable damage. I know of the dark blue wire from switch to regulator... I am not good with electrical, but i usually get it eventually. Before I look too far... Would a switch from a 97 416h (onan)work on this 93 314h (kohler) I was hoping to test if the switch on the 314 is bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 12,296 #2 Posted June 11 No. 416-8 uses battery ignition switch 103990 314-H uses magneto ignition switch 116338 The switch function can be checked. Click on the switch. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 66,862 #3 Posted June 11 Check to be sure the key switch on the 314H has a good ground. The switch is seeking a ground in the off position to stop the magneto from producing ignition spark. 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cee245 856 #4 Posted June 12 (edited) Thanks for the quick responses! I meant to respond earlier. I am looking forward to it, but I i gotta make the time cuz I dont really like choking it out to shut it down. I'll update as I go through the wiring, but I did briefly go through all wiring/grounds i could see. Specifically the dark blue one, for grounding purposes. I'm planning on eliminating some more length of the wiring related to the little idiot lights as I take out the battery tray, etc to see wiring and eliminating pinch points. I dont want to eliminate any safety switches! I haven't taken time to really look into it yet with my teenage kids always taking up my wife's and mybtime and wheel horse $. 🙃 I do have an exact model/year (93 73401), (part donor/maybe future project/high hr but does run 314h) unfortunately, that one has an obvious corroded rusty bad terminal on the switch,vbut it actually "ran last year " 😄 (po has a push button installed) @gwest_ca you rule! I actually thought that they both had the same part number, then I realized I clicked on the same link twice 😅 Thanks for keeping me straight!

Cee245 856 #5 Posted 3 hours ago Update: I've fixed one pinch point where a wire was slightly exposed. It was right behind the dash plate. Ive noticed that you really have to pay attention exactly where to put the harness before screwing down the dash plate so as to not crush any wires. I still need to go back through the wiring again, but it works as it should now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
