Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): kill switch, briggs and stratton, hp briggs
QuestionI Was wondering how to make a kill switch for the motor on my riding mower, the motor is a 8 HP Briggs and Stratton 190707-6003-01. i want to make a switch on the dash that i will have to flip on before i start it and have to flip it close to turn off the mower instead of flooding out the mower or depriving the motor of gas.
AnswerOn the coil will be a black wire attached to a spade clip. You can install a switch to this clip so that when the switch is closed, a circuit to ground is created. This will shut the engine off. Just run a wire from the clip to the switch and then from the switch to ground.
