Ya I know it ain't on a tractor, but I've got a Kohler 19 hp two cylinder engine mounted on a log splitter to run the pump. Question: A large hot wire comes from the starter/generator on the engine to one side of the solenoid. From the other side of the solenoid the big wire goes to the battery. I got this. The small wire from the solenoid goes to the key switch that activates the solenoid just like on an old M. Now, the motor has a voltage regulator with a wire coming from it and another wire coming from under the coil and these two come out together with a female plug on them. One would have to go to the switch to supply power to the coil, plugs, etc. correct? Now for the other wire from the regulator. would it be for a amp guage or something? Any opinions would help. Thanks in advance, Harley

Is the engine a KT-19? Below is a link to the Kohler service manual for that engine.

The wire from the voltage regulator goes to the battery, either directly, or through an ammeter.

Have you had the engine running? It will be set up either with battery ignition, or solid-state ignition.

With battery ignition, the other wire you mention gets fed battery voltage through the ignition switch.

However, if it is a newer engine (Magnum) with electronic ignition, the other wire is only to be connected to a "kill" switch that shorts it to ground to shut the engine down. Putting battery voltage on the "kill" wire on an electronic ignition engine will let all the smoke out of the coil/module, and the engine won't run anymore. So. it is important to know what model it is, and if it has battery ignition, or self-powered electronic ignition.

KT-19

Thanks a lot Bob, it"s a KT-19, but every time I go to your link it locks up my puter and I have to shut it off and start it again. Don"t know. As far as the electronic ignition goes, I"ll have to look at it tomorrow to make sure what it is. Thanks again, Harley

The Kohler manuals are in .pdf (Adobe Acrobat) format). Do you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your 'puter?

I do, but last night I went to the Kohler site and downloaded the owners manual and all 74 pages of the service manual and put them in a looseleaf notebook. Pretty interesting stuff. Thanks again, Harley
