Ok if it’s wiring on the engine you need to look up the model number of the engine. If it’s wiring to the engine then use the model number of the mower. If it’s not turning over at all. The there could be multiple reasons. Battery, solenoid, ignition switch, or any of the multiple safety switches.The murray riding mower I have will not all even crank. In the wiring system from the wiring harness to the alternator wire the connecting wire has 3 wires and one of those wires is black which would indicate that might be a ground but I'm unsure of where it goes. Any help is greatly appreciated. Murray riding lawn mower model #309029X92C
The stator only puts out AC and it’s not for Lighting. The stator puts out AC that goes to a regulator that charges it to DC to charge your battery.Hmmm, Ever thought about downloading the schematic? I could post it but I won't.
And that dang black lead from the stator is the AC output for lighting which this mower does not have so of course it is not connected. Someone with a poppy seed brain should been able figured that out by now but that might over tax it.
Oh well back to the dark side [just data collecting] and making parts while watching all the stupid relies to various posts. Just getting sore sides from laughing so much. Most here are just so called mechanics or just part replacers. And they are too scared to actually look up the equipment before replying. This is why I quit helping this forum. I am not going hold their hands and do the work for them without getting paid for it.
I see you've gotten a ton of replies. Let me ask a question then make a suggestion that has usually pointed me to the problem.The murray riding mower I have will not all even crank.

briggs & stratton 12.5 HP model # 285707-0113-01 Murray riding mower model # 309029X92CPlease post engine model number and code. We can look at schematic and walk you through appropriate testing procedures.
Put your multimeter on continuity, looks like a little speaker symbol. Touch probes together and listen for meter to make beeping sound.
Next, put red probe on metal surface of solenoid and black probe on negative (black) terminal of battery. Let us know if the meter beeps. This will let you know if you have proper ground.
Next, change volt meter to voltage VDC, same as you used to obtain battery voltage of 12.6 you posted earlier.
Disconnect wire from spade on solenoid, place red probe in female end of wire. Place black probe on battery ground. Turn key to start, ensure all safety mechanisms are met. Ie .....parking brake on, seat down, pto off etc.
Provide voltage reading sir.
it tried to crank but stopped. and now nothing even happening.I see you've gotten a ton of replies. Let me ask a question then make a suggestion that has usually pointed me to the problem.
Question: Did it ever crank?
Suggestion: What happened just before it stopped? Did you do something?
Check main fuse first, (if good) then perform other testing mentioned in previous posts. We need to know if power is getting past safety devices and on to the solenoid.it tried to crank but stopped. and now nothing even happening.
