I have a Kohler 26hp twin, I put an electric fuel pump on it. The kill wire from the ignition switch came undone while putting fuel pump on. I don't know what it attaches to on the engine. Can someone help me? Thanks

You should look for a schematic of the model tractor that it is.

Thanks for answer. This old mower has had the belly taken off. I only use it to pull a wagon around on my 14 acres to do odd jobs. The electric motor that raised & lowered the belly caught fire about 7 years ago & burnt almost all the wires. I rewired it & have no color codes. The mower has 2800 hrs on it. Overhauled it two yrs ago. Runs fairly well. You brobably don't believe the hrs on it. Several guys on the forum didn't believe it either. I had a video made with it running & showed the hour meter, think it was around 2500 back then. The kill wire has to go some place on the engine electrical system, I just don't know where. I have been using it & to kill it I close the fuel line off & wait till it dies. Thanks for any help

You should be able to find a model number for your tractor usually located on tag on the bottom of the seat. Then you should be able to find a wiring diagram.

Had to replace the wiring because of fire so all the wires are yellow & red. I used what I had. The kill wire from the kill connection on ignition switch has to connect some where to kill the engine. Some one should know this.

What is the white wire (witch it does not have) coming out of the engine attached to what?

We need to know what kind of engine you have. Can you at least take a quick pic of it?
Do you have a S.A.M. module on it?

Normally the kill wire would go to a terminal on the keyswitch. But we would need to know what keyswitch you have to tell you which one.

I know where the kill terminal is on the switch, need to know where wire goes on the engine.

The key switch is not the problem, its where the kill wire that comes off the key switch go to.

This eng. is 12yrs old, I have done a lot of things to it in all these yrs. Any normal person would have thrown it away long ago but I ain't normal don't you see.

the white wire coming out of the engine is the kill wire for the magnetos

SV735-0018

This parts list says that you have a S.A.M. unit.

Page 38-39.

Sorry, this one. Page 37...

So the kill wire from ignition switch goes to the magnetos, this is all I needed all along. Thank you very much.
