I replaced key ignition switch which on my ISEKI G-174 had a starter switch which was activated by a key switch for the assessories as well...now I have a red and white wire hanging loose with 3 wires that the idiot lights were connected to that I can't remember where it was connected...on the wiring diagram it shows it to be connected to the #30 terminal of the all in one new Kubota key start switch...but when I connect this white with a red stripe wire...it acts as a ground or should I say it sparks.....this wire is connected to the voltage regulator and shown as IG...on the wiring diagram....I've checked with a volt meter and the alternator is shown as not charging....I think that maybe I burned out the diodes on the alternator or maybe burned out something on the regulator by messing around with this one red and white wire that I have no clue to where and how it was connected originaly....any help to this issue will be gratefully appreciated.....AL
