I took the motor and wiring harness off of a poulan pro and put it on a dixon mower it starts and then dies after about 4 seconds. There is a white wire that has a male connector that is unplugged where does it go

We are going to need more info from you before we can offer suggests on how to proceed. Pictures of the harness, voltage regulator connections, starter connections, carburetor, etc. Remember we are not stand next to you to see what you have. Anything Info you can give us to paint us a better picture would help your cause.
