well i went and did it today. i got the rebuild kit in my carburateor and fired it up. seemed to run better but then caught fire. luckily i got it put out but i will be in the process of rewiring my whole ignition tommorow hopefully i didn't burn that up. so have a good chuckle on the rookie while i learn the intricate :sidelaugh wiring of a pk:crybaby: :banghead3 :duh:

Just dont do it again!

I will guess that the short was in your connections at the starter solinoid...(I just bought a lawn tractor and the seller had done just this.) These solinoids need to be checked with a ohm meter everytime before installing. You cant trust the wiring diagram to know what parts you are using. There are several type solinoids that all do the same thing. Difference is how the wires go on.

Okay if it was some other less rookie thing, then find out what...

thank you kindly for the wiring diagram. i did not have it will be a big help. as too what happened is my father bless his soul could not leave nothing alone. he had to add lights and horns, and whatever other gizmo he thought well one of those added wires got caught under the engine shroud and needless to say it was hot so nice short out. so now it's my turn to replace all my wiring thanks for the diagram
