In quote in red.

Got it done this evening by connecting the engine RED to tractor RED & ORANGE.
Orange is the lighting circuit. On the old engine, there was a separate AC output for that.
BLACK TO BLACK. Then connected the "L" terminal of the key switch to the fuel solenoid.
The fuel solenoid will have power in the Run & Start positions, but NOT when Off.
