Re: yardbug charging system
the rest of the engine code is 0105-3A question?? what is a SWMBO and how can I pinch a pin from it? Also I looked closely at this engine and there are only 2 red wires. One is from the solenoid to the battery and one is from the solenoid to the starter,there is no thick red wire near the plug

If you are married you will know who I am talking about.
The alternator has 1 or 2 wires connecting it to the mower.
So you can remove the engine there is generally a plug ( electrical type not sparking type ) and it is usually lutking around behind the starter motor.
If you have a single wire alternator ( 3 amp ) it will have a round plug about 1.5" long that sits close to the wire so you can not poke a probe down the bum of the plug to get a reading, hence the pin of the sewing kind.
Some mowers will also have a second round plug with the kill wire for th magneto in it if you turn it off with the key.
The aalternator wire is usually red and the magneto wire is usually black.
