Armadillo👍 0 #1 Posted 5 hours ago (edited) The 310-8 was bought with a push button start in place of key switch. Decided to install key switch. The 5 wire plug for the key switch doesn’t match the 103990 or the 103991 key switches available. Facing the 5 wire plug for the key switch, with the connection for the start wire at the top, the wire for the rectifier wire is on the lower left of the plug. The 1987/1988/early 1989 wiring diagram show the rectifier wire going to the 2nd row from the top start pin for the 103991 switch and not the bottom row like the 5 connector plug. The accessory pin on the 103991 key switch goes where the rectifier wire in the plug is. The kohler m wiring picture below is the existing wiring from the kohler m14 to the first connector. The picture leaves out the 5 wire plug for the key switch but it does show the rectifier going to the middle row per wire diagram. Pink wire hoes to voltmeter. What am I missing? Or How do I find a key switch that matches the plug? Clarifying questions welcome. Edited 3 hours ago by Armadillo👍 Identify pink wire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 12,391 #2 Posted 2 hours ago Calls for a 103991 switch so change the wires in the connector to match the Wheel Horse diagram. I will guess the accessory and rectifier wires are reversed so the rectifier wire is grounded when the switch is turned off. I do not know why they want it grounded other than to kill any stray voltage from getting to the magneto. Do you know how to remove and install the Packard terminals from a plastic connector? The Kohler diagrams show an optional diode in the Ground-to-Kill or magneto wire. Wheel Horse did not use that option so suspect reversing the 2 wires was their solution.
