Found a video that describes the process.

That was helpful. Thank you. Going to leave it in and see if it will run as is. Thanks again.

I have a 121s02-033-F1 engine off a Troy-Bilt pressure washer. Carb rebuild kit came with a replacement sleeve (not sure if that is what it's called) that houses the needle. Have no idea how to switch it out. Haven't seen anything like it before, can't find it in any diagrams, nor in any...

Well, as of yet, I have not had to recharge the battery. Last summer I couldn't go 2 weeks without the battery dying. Having said that, this weekend the mower probably won't start. We shall see. Thanks again for the help.

Agree. Making progress. At least now I know what's where and can assume that parts are in proper working condition. Glad I got it cleaned out under the flywheel if nothing else. Will start the testing process over at some point. For now, I'll keep charging the battery after each use. Will...

So I put the fuse in. Started right up. Put the shroud back on, fuse blows. Take the shroud off, change fuse, starts right up. Though maybe one of the bolts was grounding it out or something. Lay the shroud on while running, fuse blows. Figured out that where the carb is connecting to the...

Have no idea what 12/15 half wave amp means. Did try a 15A and it blew right away.

I appreciate people like you taking time to help out. I like learning about how things work. Just don't know enough to know how to troubleshoot nor have enough time under the hood, so to speak, to think to check oddball stuff like broken terminals. Appreciate guys-in-the-know being patient as...

I probably should have started there and checked to see if that was the only issue. As I said, easy for me to get in over my head. I like wrenching though and I know enough to get me in trouble. Any thoughts on the fuse? A point in a direction might help me in my research.

Bought a straight from China stator/rectifier/spark plug kit. Also bought a Kohler harness. Stator and flywheel were packed full of debris. Numbers seemed to be good after replacing everything. Won't believe it until the battery stays charged. However, after starting it a number of times...

This might be why I couldn't get any readings on my multimeter.

Thank you.

I'll give it a try in the key on position. If I have to start running wires, I'll have to rethink some things. The rectifier is terminal side down and the plug wire is very short. Hard to work in that space. Nice of the engineers to do it that way. Probably get back to it next weekend...

OK. Hooked everything back up. Placed red probe on center terminal (B+?) of the rectifier. Black probe on housing of rectifier. No voltage reading. Also tried red on terminal, black on N post of the battery. No reading. Red on P post, black on housing gives battery voltage, 12.7ish...

Part of me is tempted to just replace the wiring harness altogether. But I've learned that it's easy for me to get in over my head on things. Step at a time.
