Well today I tried to rewire the beast.
I shouldn't have. it worked.
Now it doesn't.
After rewiring it I tried (and thought I figured out how to) hook the wires up to the ignition switch.
First round. lots of smoke from a black wire coming off it, hope I didn't damage the switch.
ok. that didn't work, must be hooked up wrong.
Tried changing the wires around after checking online again.
hooked it up.. no smoke.. good, turned switch, POP. nothing. Blew the fuze. damn, don't have another. get one tomorrow.. for now we will direct wire it. (yes I can be dumb)
Tried it again, lots of noise, pop, smoke. and a little fire under the metal cap of the engine.
Shit.
I guess it was wired wrong still. (wnd with no fuze to protect it, surge went right to something else.)
got mad, gave up. worry about it another day.
Me and Ricki also tried bending the pulley underneath into place, but
its bent all to hell now, and it will just have to do where it is, had
to grind some metal off cuz we had managed to push the pulley into the
support, Oh well, we will see how that works too. haha.
NEXT DAY!
rewired the beast back to the way it was, when it worked, got it to turn over.
and over.
and over.
and over.
and over.
:(
its dead, it will turn from the starter but not fire.
after a full day of figuring it out. My megneto was the victim in the fire. So tomorrow I will go and get a new megneto. its too late now.
After searching the net for a gooooooood long time. I finally found a easy to understand wiring of an ignition for this type of engine with a 4 post ignition switch. I already burned the Megneto, so no fires are gonna start, so why could I hurt. (Got lucky this time)
It Works!!!
Well the ignition switch anyways.
It doesn't burn or fry as it sits, and when I turn to start, it whirrs away like its suppose to, and stop when I let go of the key, if I ever get it to start again, it will hopefully also turn off when I move the key to off. haha.
Also today I put the mower deck back together after its bearing job. Good Job Rick. only problem I had with that was the main pulley was assembled and the pulleys don't fit through the hole assembled, so I had to pound that back apart, and put it in the hole that way, the other pulleys fit nice though. Just gotta sharpen the blades now before I put them back on.
Also put the belts back on the deck, that was a little puzzle, even with a diagram.
I am missing a pulley! dammit. I don't see any lying around so I wonder if steve still has it. Oh well. not a worry, they aren't expensive, I don't think. haha. famous last words, Might as well pick one of them up too while I am getting my Megneto. I keep thinking of the guy from Xmen when I say that. haha.
I have a problem with Megneto, Call the XMEN! heehee.
Checked online, Megnetos seem to be about 30 bucks. lets hope this is true. :D
Wish me luck again.
