Kohler suffered fatal internal damage, so I bought a good-running Briggs to replace it. Bolts right in but the wiring is confusing. Here are the particulars:
Donor: Sears 917272352
Briggs 15.5HP OHV 31C707 Type 0230E Code 030509ZE 31449
Recipient: Sears 917256544
Kohler Command CV15S 15HP OHV dead
Wires:
Briggs: Red and Orange - on back of engine
Grey - to carb (changes to blue in chassis loom)
Black - to ignition on top of engine
Kohler: Red - carb
Yellow - ?
White - ?
Black - ?
In a chassis connector the Kohler changes to Blue, Orange, Red and Black.
So I guessed and ran blue to blue, orange to orange, and tried connecting the other two. No starter, no joy. How should my wires be connected?
Do I need to transplant the solenoid as well?
Thanks, Tom
