    Interlock question

    As noted in my OP, I'm not interested in bypassing, I'm interested in knowing the internal circuitry of the bypass. I will purchase an interlock, but my curiosity leads me to want to understand how it works. As noted, it appears to me that the device cannot operate passively, so again, being...

    Interlock question

    So, if all the switches meet up in the module, then it's simply a wire, or other passive components, such as resistors, caps, etc. Please, someone show me a diagram of those wires and passive components - I would love to be schooled on how that can work. I'm not trying to be an @ss here - I...

    Interlock question

    Looking at the wiring diagram, I don't see how it's possible that the module is not powered. Otherwise, why a 'module' in the first place, it has to be active (ie, powered), not passive, or it would have no value at all. For example, no non-mechanical switch can be thrown without power, thus...

    Interlock question

    It's not DC as we think of it, nor AC. Everytime the magnet passes in front, it causes a magnetic field to form in the ignition coil primary. When the magnet passes, the field collapses causing current to flow in the primary. The primary current causes current to flow in the secondary (not...

    Interlock question

    Yes, verified all connections, including the terminal blocks. In addition, I also use wire piercing clamps to check all connections (and a touch of liquid sealant on the tiny hole left). The newer version is what I have on my mower. As stated earlier, I would much rather build a replacement...

    Interlock question

    Already verified all wiring and switches. Only thing left is the interlock. The unit starts and runs just fine, but only way to turn it off is via the key switch. The safeties are all non-functional. Likely this forum is the wrong place for electrical questions. Logic tells me that the...

    Interlock question

    No way that I can envision this working without the module. Sure, I can bypass the safety's, that's simple, but that's not what I'm trying to accomplish. I have a failed interlock - rather than buy one, I'd rather build one. I humbly invite anyone to show how rewiring this circuit can get...

    Interlock question

    I have just resurrected a Gravely 150 PRO - this is a recoil, not battery start engine. Can anyone tell me or give me a functional schematic of an interlock module for a non-battery powered engine. I understand that the interlock is powered from the ignition coil primary, but I've looked and...

    Gravely/Ariens Owner Check-In --- Read This First!

    New member here, just started repairing a saltwater damaged Gravely 150 PRO (988059). Rebuilt the 14HP Kawasaki, runs great. New rings, new piston, new carb. So far, it's a great mower, happy to have recovered it from certain junkyard death!
