I bought a new B+ S, 17.5 engine to replace my 18 HP blown engine on my Murrey rider. The installation went fine but when I plug the harness in it wont start. Need to leave it unplugged to run it, but it wont rev up nor can you idle it down and I think it has something to do with the electrical. There are 4 wires that come off the plug from the new engine BLACK<GREY<ORANGE AND RED The four colors from the plug that goes to the mower are GRAY< YELLOW, WHITE AND RED can somebody help. The Gray and Black wire that come off the mower go to the carb, but I dont know what the purpose is ??? but think that might be part of my problem. Thanks

Is it possible for you to post pictures of all three plugs, new engine, old engine, and tractor? It would help us help you.

You will need some knowage about wireing. The last new B&S I installed in a John Deere I have to add a relay and a starter solenoid. Like said before maybe some pictures ?
