I would like to put a 23hp Kohler command in my C-85 how electronically could I wire it up to run off a key?

So I’d like to put this, 

 

 

in this…

As far as I know the only thing it needs electronically to run the engine separately, is a key switch that at least by part number is the same as the Magnum’s. What else do I need electronically to be able to run it in my C-85? I assume I’d need a small rectifier like the Magnum’s as well, possibly a solenoid. At least this time I have a good idea what it needs but I’m completely new to the Commands. Thanks!

Here ya go, all of your other wiring including safety switches will work just fine.

The solenoid is mounted on your starter and the voltage regulator / rectifier is the same as any magnum, it is probably already mounted near the flywheel fan.

That C-85 looks very familiar Justin. Engine looks nice in there. Good luck

@JCM Thanks, I figured you might recognize it 😁.

Ok, I’ll give it a look. Once I saw the parts start coming back as also magnum parts I thought this might not be a C-141 level repower.
