I have an 18 hp briggs intek plus single cylinder, and I want to install it on my hustler mower. The problem that I have is that my motor only has red & black wires from the stator and tan & black wires from the carb. solenoid, the mower had a Honda motor and it had a yellow wire, brown wire,blue & purple wire, tan & red wire. I do know that the blue & purple attaches to the red wire from the stator, but am confused about where to attach the others to get the mower to operate properly. I understand that the red wire has a diode built into it for charging the battery and the black is for aux. ckts. I do not know where to tie the black wire into the circuitry, as well as the wires from the carb. solenoid. Any help with this would be much appreciated. THANKS :confused2:

The briggs engine that I am replacing the Honda with is an 18 hp intek plus. The model #31h777, serial #030109ZD, type # 0202E1. The Honda was missing when I got the mower. I contacted a distributor and he ran the numbers and told me that the previous engine was a Honda.

On a ZTR, I don't recommend replacing a V twin with a single cylinder for several reasons. Increase in vibration, possible loss of needed torque and what will be needed to complete the repower to make it reliable and functional are some reasons in my opinion. Over the years I have seen some compromised repowers that have rendered the entire machine useless scrap with the initial idea of saving some money.

True, also it sounds like your engine doesn't have the capacity to run an electric pto, which is a costly upgrade as well.
Here is the manual for your mower, my pdf reader can't open it, see if you can, and throw up the wiring schematic here.
