I have a toro zero turn walk behind mower 36inch, but unfortunately my engine has died (piston ring failure I guess). And because the engine is already pretty old I bought a new engine:
- Old engine: Kohler command pro cv13 with recoil start
- New engine: Loncin LC1P96F with electrical start
I couldn't find an engine with a manual recoil starter, so I had to install one with an electrical starter.
The engine could be installed mechanically, so next step is to do the electrical installation.
I purchased a battery (Varta AGM 12Ah), engine switch, starter relay, battery cables, but I struggle with the installation.
I added the manual of the engine, check attachment, the electrical wires are on the last page, there is a 6-pins connector with 4 wires:
- wire1: Carburator fuel solenoid valve
- wire2: stopping engine
- wire3&4: DC+
The engine switch I bought has 5 connectors: B, M, S, L & G
- stop position: G & M are connected
- run position: B & L are connected
- start position: B & S are connected
Can this engine switch be used?
How do I have to connect?
- wire2 engine (stopping engine) to engineSwitch M
- engineSwitch G to battery (negative)
- engineSwitch B to battery (positive)
- engineSwitch S to starterRelay
- Battery cables from battery(positive) to StarterRelay to Starter
- Battery cable from battery (negative) to frame
- wire3 engine (DC+) to engineSwitch L
How do I connect wire1 engine (Carburator fuel solenoid valve)? I guess this should be on 12V when the engineSwitch is in run and start position, but I don't have this option on my engineSwitch?
Is the female 6-pins connector on the engine universal? Any idea where I could purchase the male counterpart? Otherwise I will remove the connector.
Should I add fuses to any circuit?
I would really appreciate some help, because I can't find it out on my own.
