Is it possible to change the ignition switch to the magneto style & loose the relay and its related wiring??
-
I might have added this is not the original motor but it appears the original motor was magneto too per the wiring diagram. The switch is probably not original either then the way this wiring was hacked on. Note that the I term on the switch has two fuses running right from the battery. Switch will most definitely replaced with one we use on horses for magnetos. Right now the kill switch is a hacked on grounding toggle switch.

The kill relay is necessary because the ignition switch has an "I" terminal intended for battery style ignition. The M-Series have magneto ignition so the battery style of ignition switch is necessary to control the magneto ignition by the use of a relay. Wheel Horse/Toro also use this configuation. The relay illustration is poor. When the relay coil is energized the relay contacts are open. When the relay coil is not energized the ignition wire is grounded.

This may be better posted in other brands since I an working on a customer's Ariens GT-20. if so mods can move it. Magnum 20 in this one and a rat's mess of the wiring. Haven't really got into it yet but wiring diagrams show this relay in the magneto ground to kill circuit. It's not listed in the parts manual either with no part id number. . I have no idea what's it for but when I get into the re-wiring it's probably gonna go if it is there. Same with all the safety switches they been hacked up so bad. Should be just a common magneto ground to kill through the switch right? I will put this in other brands you guys may want more pics. Did I mention the wiring? It's really bad.

Nevah hoid of it! -
I'm sure he'd part with it EB but if he don't I might have one. My two deuces came with one but since they didn't have the guard ... useless.

Will Crank, But Will Not Start... 417A with a 17 HP Kohler Engine

I know you said you have a good strong spark, but it surely smells of an electrical problem. Could the spark plug wires be old and wet enough that they are shorting before the spark gets to the plugs? Remove the air cleaner and try cranking it in the dark while you look for fire in the plug wires. -
I get it. Last night I was discussing a pop noise that my new car radio makes when you turn the key on, with my sister, and she thought it might be the amp getting an inrush spike. I said I only had three wires hooked to it from the head unit, and my phone changed "three wires hooked" to "three wife's holes".

Darn autocorrect, sometimes it does what you want and others it does this. Anyways what's the right dipstick length

I have owned this tractor for 38 years and finally got back to finishing it up at the same time I did a refurb on one of the 420-LSE'S. Nice to be able to see it moving again instead of it under a tarp. I would like to at least possibly keep it to plow with it this Winter to bring back memories moving snow with it. It has had a lot of work done to it recently. I think it is time to pass it on to someone who has an interest in the old stuff. Many attachments,manuals and small parts and a band new HD clutch and pressure plate etc,etc. Great all around tractor and fun to work it.

I understand the appeal to full-flow, but bypass is safer.

I'm not very experienced with cosmetics, but I believe the average lipstick is around 2.5 to 3 inches in length.

What is the proper length for the lipstick on these? Mine is 7 inches and the fluid is just barely on the stick after putting 4 quarts of atf in

Trina and her momma moved and rebuilt the fire pit. 🔥 We're testing it out now. This also gives the benefit of making the back patio much larger.

Yep, it’s been off the road so long, we got a new (custom) plate coming. LILBAD works in a few different variants… All these were a little too inviting for trouble says Mrs. P.

Lost the license plate?

I have never seen those tie rod ends before. -
If you ground the F terminal and it starts over charging the regulator, or it's wiring, is at fault. Try running some very fine sand paper, or a dollar bill between all the contacts inside your regulator. Like @Handy Donsaid they are constantly opening and closing, which allows arcing, which allows carbon build-up. Carbon is not particularly conductive.

Fill it with Dex/Merc and run it!

Type A, Type F, and the generic Dex/Merc are all pretty interchangeable these days.
