:WRS: The regulator rectifier is for the charging circuit not the starting circuit. Will it start if you jump the new solenoid?

Welcome to Red Square  :)  Here is a link to the wiring diagram...this might help.  Sounds like something is not wired right.  Also, if you type "212-6" in the search box above, a lot of threads pop up for your horse.

I pulled the starter out and jumped the solenoid with the battery charger on an the the starter drive moves but amp gauge goes to wacky but if you put the gharger off nothing

:WRS:     The first step in solving any electrical problem is to clean and tighten  ALL  electrical connections including grounds; this will solve 90% of them. Also, take your battery in and have it load tested.

      1994 520 H.   Starter just clicks.
      1. Battery 12.6V, load test OK.,    New solenoid. Ground good. Key switch tested ok. Wiring diagram shows a 'kill' relay - I can't find it on the tractor. Checked the 3 relays under the battery box - they work. Neutral switch, PTP and seat switch work mechanically. 
      2. Not able to find article on this problem when searching. There must be dozens. How do I find them?
      3. Can I test the starter without taking it out?
      4. Is there a 'kill' relay? 
       
      thank you...

      Please Help-- I inherited this work horse from my father in-law after being passed down from his father.  I recently brought my wheel horse in for repairs and the service shop said they were unable to find the part; starter/solenoid.  I did not want to give up on this beast as even the repair shop said this is a well made machine and is better than anything built today. I eventually found the part but because the shop left the part uninstalled I was unable to see how the starter was wired.  Yesterday,  I installed the new starter/solenoid but when I connected the battery terminals the tractor wanted to start on its own.  I quickly disconnected the terminals and analyzed the electrical schematic map but I am baffled on the proper wiring.  I only have a positive (red) battery terminal wire, another red wire, black (ground) wire, and a blue wire with a slot connection.  I included pictures of the starter and the electrical schematic map.  Any help would be much appreciated!! I l would like to fix this on my own as this seems to be a simple wiring issue.  I can add pictures of the tractor itself, but at the moment its under a tarp in a shed at night. Thank you in advance, Matt

      Rebuilding a C160. everything worked prior to rebuild
      Engine was fairly high time so machined .020 over and rebuilt
      Finished rewiring and made sure all the circuits were in order
      Starter would spin the engine. Made new coil wire and installed new spark plug
      Starter won't turn the engine. Tried several times with and without spark plug Same results
      Starter was what I took off the tractor prior to rebuild but can't say it is orininal
      So.......Am I missing something or is a new starter going to be the answer?????
      Thoughts?  Ideas?
      All help/input appreciated
      BTW:  Don't know if it means anything but the gear does not retract when key is moved back to ON

      I recently acquired a Kohler K321PT. I want to put it on my Raider 10 but it has a recoil starter. My question is can I put an electric start on this motor and will it bolt up to my Raider 10 to replace the Tecumseh hh100
