with the new engine, older style clutches it should be far superior to what he had.

Shoot! was looking for real-world comparison.
Okay the red wire goes to fuel selonoid purple goes to plug in second pic wht goes into the blk box on left side of first pic. Does this make sense? How would you hook it up? I'm really having a brain fart on this one.....
the only important wires are the fuel solenoid, the stator, coils, starter, starter solenoid, and ground. the sensor on top of the block by the carb is not important ( I have never plugged my up at all and my 23 works great ). And you can actually remove the fuel solenoid completely and put a bolt in the carb to replace it,,,, or ground off a little bit of the fuel solenoid "Needle" (or remove the needle all together) and never wire up the fuel solenoid. I made my own harness for the kohler so my engine was a plug and play/quick disconnect ready. I got a 3-5 wire make-a-harness from Radio shack, both male and female connections for a couple of bucks.

Fred you are right about that last sentence, when you been around as long as some of us, you think you would learn your lesson, me, myself, and I have not. looks like you guys where having a blast in the swamp, Norm ,not to worry you got it licked now, hope to see you all again at busco
Norm from what i see there, my best guess from what I see is red is fuel solenoid (keyed on/off), purple is to regulator plug(black box that's actually aluminum under ) you can see the purple wire in the plug in the pic/ hot at all times, and white to keyed ground for ignition cut off.
Check the original plug feeding engine, probably just the always hot and keyed ground, just add a keyed on/off to feed the solenoid and you should be riding.
That sounds correct and seems to go along with the info I have gathered.
Everybody dies, but not everybody lives.
OKAY, I had my electrician buddy come to the shop. He fixed all my wiring so everything works right now(he eliminated the kill switch so it shuts off with the key now). Engine cranked right up and sounds great, once I adjusted everything I tested the trans slowly. Everything works perfectly BUT I tried to open it up it wouldn't speed up or rev up, mabe 10 mph max. I'm guessing my belt is too tight? I made a 5/8" spacer plate for the engine so when it gets a bit cooler tonight I'll take it out and see what happens... At least everything seemed to work great..
