Not sure what you mean. How do I do this


Well the starter has a big red lead on the side so the + goes on it.
Then the = gets put on a good earth close to the starter and the oil drain plug is a really good place.
It should flash when the = wire is connected and then the starter will turn if it is in functional condition.

that wire looking thing may be part of the deck height adjustment. look at the parts list pictures and check. I have seen similar below the black round dial that adjust the deck don't know if the 185 has the black control dial for cutting height.
