jpmcleod 4 #1 Posted November 24, 2009 Can anyone provide me with a wiring diagram for a 312-8 with a 12hp Kohler Magnum. I have no clue as to where the purple and white wires from the stator goes. I know one is should be the hot wire and the other I think has to be a ground to kill the spark. I think. I do not want to burn up the modgule. Thanks.

wallfish 18,072 #2 Posted November 24, 2009 You can go here Toro Manual request page to download the 1985 - 2001 demystification guide. This will have all the electrical diagrams for those years. I don't know the year of your tractor so you can use your model# or this 1987 #31-12K801. It makes no difference since it will be the same document. Enter the model# and type NONE for the SN# and you should see the link to download the guide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Save Old Iron 1,571 #3 Posted November 26, 2009 The manual shows WHITE is the kill to the magneto. DO NOT CONNECT THIS TO A 12V SOURCE - IT WILL DAMAGE THE MAG ASSY. VIOLET appears to be the output of the rectifier / regulator assembly. Have a great holiday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chesbaycruiser 83 #4 Posted November 27, 2009 Hey JP....I've recently had to search out all this info for the 312-8 restoration I've got under way. I've put the documents on my website where you can download them. I've got the: Kohler M12 Owners Manual (493 KB) Kohler M12 Service Manual (5,211 KB) Kohler M12 Parts Manual (2,423 KB) They've been a big help for me....hope they do the same for you!
