"Deere" John: Thanks for the intro letter. I like your idea of the horn and read the wire-up. Trouble is I don't have anyone here to fetch drinks for me. Some guys put big lounge chairs on their mowers, but somehow they can't recline in them and mow! lol Not from lack of trying I bet'cha. I'm retired, work on mowers when I want to but don't have a shop. Surfed in here looking for help on the cast iron Kohler's as I've got one with Gremlins from Hell lurking in it. Won't stay running for 3 minutes, cuts out and dies. I'm a mechanic , retired from SEARS and Suzuki, and done everything I can think of to solve this problem. It's on a log splitter and the former owner (who gave it to me, and he calls himself a FRIEND!!) had trouble out of it as well. So, now I'm stuck with it. I used to drive 28 miles one way to work on it for him till he got tired of it. Oh well. I'm thinking of putting a 11.5 Honda on it. WELCOME to the FORUM!
