I mowed my sons grass Wed with the Lt160 and occasionally it would bog down and start missing. I could cut the blades off for a few seconds and reengage (manual PTO) them and keep mowing. Today I was mowing my grass and every time I turned the blades on it would start missing. I first thought it was fuel so I cleaned the bowl out and removed the rubber tip from the solenoid. No change. Then I decided it might be electrical so I unplugged the engine and chassis wiring harnesses. It was warped in 3 or 4 rounds of tape and one connector has apparently been hot and melted some of the connector. With the connector unplugged it ran fine and I mowed about 15 more minutes and plugged it back together, it never missed again. I don't want to keep using it like this until I figure out why the second terminal down got so hot. Near as I can tell the Top-white wire is coil ground, the second-white wire is AC to something, the third-black is DC and the bottom-brown is also AC. I need a LT160 wiring diagram to confirm before I start trying to repair/replace this connector. As of now it's running fine put back like it was except for the rubber tip on the backfire solenoid. I can't find this connector online anywhere, Should I just abandon it and splice in another connector?
