After changing to new coil system on a Scag kohler 27 hp engine due to coil failure, my Scag Wildcat dies when turning right only. Any ideas

Kill wire has a bare spot and is grounding out when you turn that direction

Thanks so much for your quick response. I appreciate the help and I am not a technician. Can you give me an idea what kill wire you are referring to? Is it the wire going to the microswitch on the right control arm?

The wire that connects to the ignition modules on the engine. But the problem could also be a bare wire some place on the mower that is rubbing when you turn right that is part of the ignition kill circuit.
