Big block stop switch terminal

jadawg27 · 10-30-2010, 09:16 PM

I am trying to get my motor going before I install it I got it running but it wont shut off is there actually a stop switch terminal or is it just a ground on the motor? I wired it like page ten of the wiring in the stickie but I have a 6 pole ignition I didnt use #6

Should be a stop switch terminal and it grounds to negative, motor etc. Did you look at these? http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/gas-y...tml#post468377

Jadawg, chill. It's just the ground on the motor

Scared me to until I found it. I also had a problem with the starter grounding to the frame, double check that. Also, check that you have a ground to the key switch. Lawn mowers were metal internal ground, that won't happen with a plastic bodied GC. You should have an external ground position in a six terminal key switch if necessary.

Thats what I figured it was there is a tab sticking out that I ground it to but still wont shut off.

I dont have the switch grounded I will have to try that I have it running on a bench so how would I ground out the switch? Just wrap a wire around it? Yes roady thats where I got the diagram to wire it I used the one on page 10. Thanks Guys

The switch should be grounded to the engine. Run a wire from the terminal to any bare metal surface on the engine and it should stop. (just to test until you get it wired right.)

Are you talking about the # 3 terminal if so I already have that one grounded. But maybe I will try it in a different spot. Thanks

roady89 · 10-30-2010, 10:15 PM

there is a stop switch somewhere on the engine. (NOT the 3 terminal on the key switch) That needs to be grounded to kill the engine. Also, depending on the switch, #3 may not be the same as what they are showing in that diagram. It might be a power + or something else. Not all of them are the same.

I think your probably right about it not being the same it is a briggs ignition but its a different part # than they show in the diagram. Thanks again for the help

Get out a DVOM and map out the terminals on the switch or maybe google the P/N and you might find a diagram.
