Hello,
first post on this forum looking for some help , i have a zeroturn that i picked up for $65.00 in a trade deal well i traded a leather vest that i paid 65.00 for ,
now the mower was bought new a old fellow had it and it stopped running so it set for 4 yrs then i got it , i got the motor to start up and run just by by passin the solinoid . so the key switch was shot so i bought a new one , i thought they was all the same turns out the man son had rewired this thing before as the color wires did not match the wiring diagram i down loaded .
anyway i installed the new switch and it didnt start rightup so i crossed the solinoid and it started right up and was running fine then black smoke came out of the top before i could get the motor to shut off it fried both of the ground wires on the coils , the motor will run fine as long as i have both wires off , if i touch the end to the coil the motor will die , so did i destroy the coils and the altenator ?? the mower has 354 hrs on it .
my first thought was i was just going to rewire the mower with a toggle switches and a push button starter and by pass the the original harness mess
that it had on it , since i fried the coils i have rewired it with 3 toggle switches and a push button starter switch .
1 toggle for main power then a toggle for the PTO and a toggle for the kill switch .
Thanks for any replies
