My 2005 Classic has it under the seat. That spot is filled by the filter on a hydro. The 314-H I no longer have. I was a bit hesitant because of the long fuel line run on my 76 Reborn B-80 but it works great. The Dino C-121

I've read & been told that most older jeep and ford 3 terminal solenoids work. I'm not prone to using light weight modern stuff so I use a very heavy duty Cole Hersee industrial type solenoid. A little more money .... but worth it.
-
That's interesting. I never knew that having a solenoid was an OE idea.
-
I am NOT a fan of that. Wheelhorse originally used all one color to save money on the build. I understand that. And I thoroughly disagree with the idea. Just adding one color would have added minimal cost and made future diagnostics and repairs much easier. In the world of 12 volt negative ground, red is hot, black is ground. ...to start with. Then other hot colors for other circuits can be added. I use a section of 7 conductor trailer wire to begin making my harnesses.

Got any originals to rebuild? Starters, IMHO, are like carburetors. Aftermarket ones will not be used here unless absolute last resort.

I wonder if anyone has tried to stiff one beside the motion cam control cage? Looks tight but sure would be out of the way.

@Bill D How does the Onan crank with that style pump. The hard to start after setting is only thing I have against the pump I have now it runs good just hard to start after setting for a few days. I put a one-way fuel valve on it at the tank, and it helped a bunch but still cranks over longer than I would like after setting. This is where I had planned on putting it but would like to run that rock shaft I got from you also.
-
Yep me too.
-
Yep if your not going to have a ammeter. Double check what solenoid you have. Hate to see you let any magic smoke out.
-
Pretty sure my solenoid is operated by +12VDC. No biggie. Just looked wrong. I learned something new! So can I run the wire from the middle tab (GEN) directly back to the positive side of the battery? The pic below is a Kohler manual. Just has a meter in series between the center tab and positive terminal.
-
I'll take it. Do you want paid now or at the show?
-
That is correct KP. The starter button grounds out the solenoid operating it. The the other end of the solenoid coil is internally connected to 12v positive large post. You do have to have the 12v from the battery on the correct large post. I forget if they are labeled or not. If not one way to tell is read through the small post to one of the large posts. You should see the resistance of the coil on one of the large posts. That's the large post that gets connected to the battery. Should be open on the other large post. I have no idea why went this route. It's been said this same solenoid was used on some truck sno plow set ups.
-
Already did that and tested my grounds. Yep. I'm a proponent of ground jumpers. But... this 701 wiring diagram has some issues. The starter switch for one, goes from ground to the starter tab on the solenoid. Ground start? Also I do not have a working amp meter. Both of the ones I had set aside are open. Can I take my wire from the "GEN" middle tab directly to the positive on the battery?
-
Mine already looks like that because every wire except the 6 gauge positive battery cables are black
-
If it has the correct engine for '60 it would be a K91. Only real difference between a K90 and a K91 is the governor setting. 3600 RPMs for a K90 - 4000Rpms for a K91.

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
WHX?? replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
These were really cheap ones too. Two for like $80. I was plowing a furrow for planting more asparagus roots for this one. Second pic is a Wild Game camera at the end of the field. -
I have fuel and spark with a new battery. The starter is a no go. I took it apart and it was pretty cracked and broken. I'm considering looking for a recoil. I also bought a used ignition that I've confirmed works.
-
A friend has an old wheel horse that is supposedly a 1960 model with a 4 hp kohler. K90? The tags are missing so assuming it's 1960, what spark plug should he run in that kohler?

Pan stand was out for paint. This is the only place on a 520 for it.
-
I must say I don't even have any play in my steering wheel. I'm very happy with this. But just like the 400 series I had. I'm back on the hook for wheel horses. My wife is like hmm savings account hasn't gotten any bigger. And I'm over here thinking welp it's not any smaller. We doing good baby
-
This actually sounds perfect. Thanks!! I’ll be in touch !

Hooked up the plow blade with the solid link and did some cleanup of the old pool area. Was just getting the hang of it when I stopped to add gas - BOOM! Damned aftermarket starter took a crap on me
