Connector, Female (2 Contact) [5215504-S] for Kohler Lawn Equipment | eReplacement Parts
15 Amp Stator Kit Replaces: Kohler 237878-S, 5475509-S
Found the connector and stator in case I needs one. Cheap to ��

Ground out?

What would cause a plastic connector to melt? Grounded out? Also would a wire that is exposed would that make a connection melt?

[Norbert77]

Corrosion. When current goes through a bad connection and the connector develops a resistance it starts to get hot.

[curtisbyrne]

ok so would i have to replace the wire? the wire was left un taped for a while because i didnt notice it. and it was a little rusty and some wire sticking out of it?

[glen1971]

I'd replace all the bare wire, plus 3-6", depending if there was any heat damage making the insulation brittle and not flexible...

[ARGOJIM]

If these wires were toughing the hood support frame they could cause, a blown fuse, melted wire, a melted connector and some other things if contact was excessive.

[curtisbyrne]

Yes exactly Argo Jim,but yea I could just cut the wires back to where there is no rust and Soder them together! So all this wore corrosion would cause a connector to melt?

[curtisbyrne]

ground out

would a exposed wire cuase a connection to get hot and melt? the priginal post of this is gone i dont know where so any other posts about the melting connection put them here thanks!

fly wheel trouble

i was in this cold and beutiful morning to pull the fly wheel off and clean up stator and whatever. i took off that bulged out debris screen that you would rap the rope around(in that area). so got that off and found the bolt in the canter that holds the fly wheel. got the rachet and started pushing and as i done that the fly wheel moved with it. how am i supposed to get the nut off and suggestions?

Remove a spark plug and feed about 3 feet of soft cotton rope into the cylinder with the piston down. Roll engine until it stops and remove the nut. Roll engine back a bit and remove the rope.

[curtisbyrne]

ok but are there any other easyier ways to do this without doing that?

[jtb51b]

If thats too much trouble, your really not going to like pulling and reinstalling that flywheel.

So what msafi said, explain it in more detail how to do it( how would I know when piston is down)

I love it when I learn something new in the morning!

I would like to make sure its on the compression stroke before pushin the rope in, one can bend a pushrod or valve otherwise

Just sayin
