The Tuul Crib 7,332 #1 Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) What does this relay do? I’m just curious I’ve been running through the manuals in the files in the wiring diagrams. Can anyone tell me? Its on my 312-8 Edited May 25, 2019 by The Tool Crib Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adsm08 1,431 #3 Posted May 25, 2019 It uses a low current circuit to switch a high current circuit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1977 6,214 #4 Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) I don't think anyone answered your question. I'm sure you know what a relay is. On the 312 it is connected to the low oil switch on the Kohler. Mine wasn't connected to anything when I got. I always check the oil be fore starting, unless I forget. I have never bothered to see if the low oil switch works. I found the answer in the electrical layout for the 312. Edited May 28, 2019 by Lee1977 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,491 #5 Posted May 28, 2019 For anyone that plans to remove the low oil switch to give it the 500 hour service recommended read up on how to remove the switch without damaging it. They are no longer available. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tuul Crib 7,332 #8 Posted May 28, 2019 I have one terminal on that relay that has no wire and l have a couple of wires that need a place to go. I found the wiring diagram on the manual section and now figured out where they go. I picked up this 312 for 100 bucks. The PO was suppose to be a small engine guy and was going to scrap it because it wouldn’t run. It doesn’t smoke . Win!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
