Hi, I'm new here from Ontario, Canada. I bought a early 70's White gt-1600. I believe it is the same machine as a mtd-960, gear drive. It would run if jump started when I got it. After getting a wiring diagram because every wire had been spliced i tried to change the ignition switch. I couldn't source the correct switch and I admit I didn't fully understand that the wire going to the engine ignition was for. For some reason I guessed the engine needed 12volts to power the ignition.
Long story short, I put 12 volts to the condenser from igniton terminal on a universal key switch. I noticed the magic electrical smoke when the key was put in the 'run' position. Can anyone tell me if i fried just the condenser or did I fry the coil as well.
Thanks
