C-125 Ignition Wiring

[Paul Murphy 0]

I need some help from anyone. I am trying to get C-125 starting woes sorted

out for my father who is 88 years young. He had problems this spring so I brought it home to attempt to work on it. I have a wiring schem. downloaded from Toro but as most know they are B/W pdf files. Color helps me alot. I cant get the Koh. 12hp

to turn over unless I jump the solenoid. Put a new original switch, and solenoid on

but still no luck. When it does turn over,there is NO fire at the points(gapped to .018-.020) or naturally the s/plug. I am lost....

There are some pics of the current condtion, please note the bypassed seat interlock and clutch interlock wires.

Colors may not do you any good. WH never stuck to the same color coding consistently. I would suggest you trace your wiring by-hand and annotate your manual. Also, the following link may help you, or at least give you another copy.

If no one has said it already.

Nice to have you aboard. If you don't mind saying, where are you from?

I had a similar problem on my C-101. Turned out the wires connected thru the ammeter were loose. Once I fixed te connections all was well. Your problem may be elsewhere but I figured I'd tell you anyway. Good luck.

Thanks for all the help guys. Any hints when your working "blind" is a

great help. Did find a small hairline crack in the plastic or phenolic portion

of the breaker points.That can't be good.Looks like I need to start some detailed

wire tracing. BTW Mr. Bob, I'm located in a little place called Wedowee, Alabama.

In the shadows of Mt. Cheaha. Real rural, real quiet, real pretty, and really the

way I like it. Thanks for the "Welcome"

:D
