@@sclawns5257 Your very welcome Scott. I love the speed feed head a lot, so much easier. I probably at the time would have a Echo, but when my dad passed he left me with the Stihl. This was a old video from my old channel that I had 1100 subscribers. I would say this video is from 2019.
I havent had one with the built in solenoid. should be same in that there would be a heavy guage wire connection from the battery and a trigger wire connection from the switch.
I’ve never use the diode on the circuit I don’t know if the stock harness had one or if there is a diode built into the voltage regulator but I’ve done it like that on many machines just taking the red wire from the voltage regulator straight to the battery and I’ve never had a problem I’ve done it for years
are those carb solenoids designed in a factory wiring to run off the stator once the engine is started? or do they always get 12v from the battery till the key is turned off? ive wired mowers and always run 12v to them on their own toggle but wasnt sure how they may be factory
Factory they are held high to open on regulated 12v from battery. At stator you would have a sign wave and would not work but after regulator it would but that’s same as battery because that’s the charge wire that runs to the positive post anyway
I'm trying to straight wire my starter switch. I have two mowers that I have to jumpstart from the solenoid. How do I just run a hot wire to the switch?
I probably better not get into exactly because I haven’t used a standard switch for a long time. Mine is just a system where I have a battery isolator switch I kick on and then I have a push button but anyway you can transfer 12 V to the coil lead on the solenoid will do it. If that’s less dramatic, then jumping straight across the solenoid, cause you’re dealing with lower amperage is when you’re pulling it in with the magnet of the solenoid and letting the switching be internal to the solenoid.
On the Briggs commercial turf series I believe it is the red wire from the voltage regulator and I run it straight to the positive terminal of the battery
i cannot recommend eliminating a safety feature but i have owned mowers in the past that were harness deleted that I ran for thousands of hours and many years. I grew up on mowers that never had these safety features as they did not exist at that time so it is not a new experience to me. In all things a person has to have their wits about them and accept personal responsibility to enjoy the benefeits of freedom.
SO, on this mower you DON'T have ANY safety switches in the circuit? Does your engine have a Oil level / pressure switch at the filter? How is that wired?
@@sclawns5257 hey man I got the inspiration to do a motor swap on my mower and got a Briggs engine. Everything is wired up and it cranks but will only start with starting fluid. I check the fuel pump and fuel solenoid and both are good. Is it possible I got a bad carb on a brand new engine or is there something I’m missing?
I'm not good at wiring so this will be a good video for me. This was very interesting and helpful. I learn a lot from you Scott. Great video bud.
Thanks. How do you like your new speed feed head? If you just get an Echo you wouldn’t have to do that

Hello good morning interesting thanks for sharing 👍💕
thanks
Wow great vid , I always appreciate these mechanics vid as I’m not good at that stuff
i can do better explanation when i do a step by step on next mower i build
@@sclawns5257 honestly almost everything of mine go to the shop to get repaired 😂
Keep safe bro...new friend here
Thanks for coming
So my solinoid is made onto my starter how would this work? Would I run a battery wire to the starter and the main power supply?
I havent had one with the built in solenoid. should be same in that there would be a heavy guage wire connection from the battery and a trigger wire connection from the switch.
@@sclawns5257 thanks for the tips
Man I like this stuff, but I really have no clue!
How are you keeping voltage from the battery backfeeding to the regulator while running without a diode to block battery from backfeeding?
I’ve never use the diode on the circuit I don’t know if the stock harness had one or if there is a diode built into the voltage regulator but I’ve done it like that on many machines just taking the red wire from the voltage regulator straight to the battery and I’ve never had a problem I’ve done it for years
The regulator should be a clipper circuit probably a bridge rectifier in there should be diodes built into the regulator itself

How do I connect the center lead to make my battery charge ?
On the Briggs commercial turf series I believe it is the red wire from the voltage regulator and I run it straight to the positive terminal of the battery
@@sclawns5257 what does the diode switch wire connect to ?
W0w nice thank for idea
Thanks and welcome
Would you cut an entire yard with this mower. My harness is destroyed and discontinued and I'm thinking of doing this. Much simpler.
i cannot recommend eliminating a safety feature but i have owned mowers in the past that were harness deleted that I ran for thousands of hours and many years.

@@sclawns5257 I feel you bro. Thats exactly what I wanted. Any suggestions on what gage wire to use?
SO, on this mower you DON'T have ANY safety switches in the circuit? Does your engine have a Oil level / pressure switch at the filter? How is that wired?
No there is no switches other than starter relay. These mowers never had oil level pressure switches at the filter
Do you have a link to this motor?
They are no longer available.

Why would you want to have excessive amounts of wiring. And a clutch don't pull more amps when it's under load.
