Vanguard V-twin wiring help please

Well with over different 303777 out there it kinda hard to know if it has a carburetor solenoid (which most likely it does). With this in mind a three position five terminal key switch would the easiest way to wire this up. As you need to power the carb solenoid during start up and running but only need the ground out the ignition coil to stop.


The problem I don't know which OEM PN would be the Indak 4G463A switch which is the smallest profile switch.

I taught automotive and small engine repair for 30+ years, plus have worked on small engine for 50+ years, I think I know what I’m talking about. I assure you I would never put anything in my procedures which will intentionally harm anyone or equipment. I expected the reply you posted, because I knew you. Wanted someone to take your hand and do the work for you. Your limited understanding of electricity and attitude impedes your ability to accomplish this project. The moderators do not bar members for posting the truth and you are not the first to say I’m full of ——— and shouldn’t be allowed n this site, because they can’t get the exact information they want. Most of the time it is DIY guys who think they know enough about electricity to be dangerous. The experienced techs have enough work in their businesses, that they don’t have time to step by step lead you through a solution. Star and I have given you more than enough information to solve your problem, it’s up to you as to how you use it. As I say to my wife, “You are right again, I’ll be in the shop if you need me”. Bye, bye bye.

Hi Star Tech. Thanks for 'staying with me'.
I do understand that each wiring circuit will be specific to the particular model. Are the other details from the engine plate (Type & Code) any use?
From Youtube images it does not appear to have a carb solenoid and no other wires than those in my photo. Others, again on Youtube, have removed the original harness from a tractor or mower and wired a system exactly as I want to. Unfortunalely non of then are exactly the same as mine.
As far as a 'kill' swith goes, I have a toggle switch for the power (ignition) with a cover that has to be lifted to switch on and cuts the power when pushed back down. (very common).
FYI. In preparing the cables I can tell that the soolid red wire from the rectifier is a heavier cable than the red with black trace so most likely power and lighting.
This project is to power a machine, not a vehicle.. Already built and proven but bogged down with an 8hp so I need more power. When I've got this motor in it I'll post a video (if that's possible).
Thanks again.

As I say to my wife, “You are right again,.......... " So your wife was right about something?? and you acknowledged it ?

Yes, she says “don’t let dummies stop you from helping those who are willing to say I’m in over my head. They will assume that those trying to help are smarter than they are. Not questioning what they are told.”

Strange that you feel comfortable admitting and ask folk to make allowances, with a disclaimer, that you are "not a professional mechanic" even though you claim to have been an instructor and teaching a skill you were not qualified for, you will not forgive my admission in my first post saying; "Electrics have never been my favorite thing
