Wheelhorse#1 1,712 #1 Posted December 23, 2024 I recently wired my C-101 for a older K301 generator start engine. Its currently running and running as it should except when I engage the lever for the PTO bell, it shuts the engine down The Original PTO interlock switch is still wired.The diagram I used didn't include a interlock switch. All other safety switches were deleted by the PO. Anyone have any ideas what may be the issue here ? Thanks Id like to keep the PTO wired in to prevent starting wile engaged .

pfrederi 17,959 #2 Posted December 23, 2024 Did you use a solenoid or did you use the heavy duty switch WH used on S/Gs? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,604 #3 Posted December 23, 2024 I believe when you delete the seat switch, you have to connect the wires together to simulate a operator sitting on the seat and closing the switch. See if the seat wires are still connected. If they are not the engine would shut down when engaging the PTO 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
