Renrag 69 #1 Posted March 9, 2021 Long story started with adjusting carb, then starter mag shattered (repaired), then 2 voltage regs ( replaced), then ignition switch (complete rewire), then safety switch failure(bypassed), now I have no spark and stater is deformed melted(discontinued), plus ohms on coil are at max(460 some.long story short my horse died and no parts to be found around me as of yet. Any one have ideas on this carb adjustment I have scattered about Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it is a points engine now would be the perfect time to eliminate the points for good, Briggs a& Stratton part number 398811. Leave your points where they are and and just cut the wire that runs to them. Install this coil, there will no longer be a points issue to worry about ever. Next your charging stator. The stator is for charging the battery only. It will have nothing to do with spark. I do not know the part number for your stator without having the engine number and code. Given the above electrical issues, I'm wondering if your new ignition switch is correct or if you have some other miss wiring issues. If you at any time send positive voltage to the coil, it will kill the coil for good. The coil should have a ground sent to it to kill the engine and should not have continuity to anything while running. An incorrect switch or miss wiring could also explain some of your other electrical issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 43,741 #6 Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) If you accidently sent power to the ign coil while rewiring the switchand it's a magneto, you destroyed the coil. Cheap fix. Edited March 9, 2021 by squonk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renrag 69 #7 Posted March 10, 2021 The points have already been bypassed, I put the new ignition switch in before I found out it was for kolar k series(no ground), duh, but according to what I found online if coil has between 2-5 ohms it's good, idk if could have another issue with it, but ohms are like 4.63. the stater has a inline protector to keep from back feed, but that's wired to starter sil. (On battery side) only wire on ignition switch is the starter wire,( witch I have a push button to replace that) ground goes to a toggle that's only ground wire . It should run fine how it's wired from what I've read on it, unless there's something I'm missing. I've traced this from carb to coil and am stuck now with a melted stater and a coil in question. I've been waiting all winter to ride my horse, but it's lame lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It might be time to find a horse with a kohler, every blasted spare coil, ignition, and stuff I have is for some kohler and I've never had one. Wth 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renrag 69 #9 Posted March 13, 2021 I'm looking for another horse found a ad for a 1960 8h kohler 856 for $200 just up the rd, looks in good shape, it's a barn find Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
