ok hi guys im new here. it looks like a great site! i have an old ariens rm 830a riding lawn mower. its in really great shape. the 8hp briggs died some time ago. i kinda set it aside for a long while. i got an 11hp briggs i decided to put on in its place. its all bolted up and looks like everything should work fine.

my problem is when i hook up the battery the wires to the starter get hot without me even doing anything. i disconnected it as i dodnt wanna burn it up. does anyone know whats going on here?

this is a great little rider and id love to get it going in time for fall so i can take it to do my dads yard for him. thanks guys, Mike

opps my mistake its the wire that connects to the coil that gets hot not the starter.

If it is getting hot then it must be drawing current if its drawing current then it sounds like it is going to earth?ut why? good question!
