Hi
First time on this site. I hope that I can obtain information in rectifying ignition problems. I had bought a john deere 214 garden tractor. It was 2nd hand. Six years ago the engine quit. I was surprised that this engine lasted for 30 years. I cannot say anything bad about the Kohler products. Unfortunately I could not find another 12 hp kohler engine. To make the long story short I replaced with a Briggs v16 engine. This tractor is being used for snow plowing. When I installed this engine I re-hooked the same ignition system from the Kohler engine. Never had any problems until now. The problem is that when switching the engine off the engine keeps running. I can't stop the engine. I suspect it is a grounding problem. I have spent the last 2 hours viewing a hundred diagrams to locate where the ground wire should be. It should be simple but I am just lost for words. It would appreciated that some can help me out.
