Does anyone have one they can, post or email me. My 1967 112 Rf isn't firing.
It's been partially apart for a while and I want to make sure everything is wired corectly. Coil, points, sparkplug, and the condensor are new. |

I found one on my computer. It's been so long sense I worked on it, I forgot I had a wiring diagram.
It's wired right but I need to pull the gas tank and check the dash end of the wiring. Not too hopeful, because I can see a mouse nest. |

I put a new Kohler coil on it, but they are bigger around the the Tec. coils. You have to use the original bracket and I can't get in the bolt that holds the condenser in.
I'm guessing my Tec coil is good. Tomorrow I will check for chewed wires. Stupid mice. ![]() I've added a shutoff valve and filter to the side of the engine also. It's a work tractor so safety is more important then being 100% original. Easy enough to change back anyway. I also use the John deere battery cover. Not shown in the pics below. Sorry I used my junk compact cam. |

I like the big Tecs, when they run right.
I'm not sure why John Deere went with Tecumseh for the 112s. Cub was using all Kohler engines. I wonder if that had anything to do with it. I pulled the battery box today and there wasn't any chewed wires. I bought a new multimeter so I can start testing the electrical system. You can see Mikeys nest in the pic below. |

Did you use a test light to make sure the coil had voltage? That hot coil wire goes to the safety switch show in your pic and to the ignition switch.

The pink wire on the positive side of the coil goes directly back to the ignition switch.
With the key on or trying to start it the wire reads 0 volts. The safety switch in the last pic is the mower deck safety. In the up position, you cant turn over the engine, in the down position you can. This is my first RF, so this is new to me. I'm not that good with tracing electrical problems. Is there anything else I should check, Or is it like I thought a bad ignition switch. Last edited by walter g; 09-08-2012 at 10:37 PM. |
