Hope this isn't too confusing. The key switch is a
generic 5 pole for lawn and garden equipment. DO
NOT* use an automotive switch. If you use the
Briggs version the terminals are different, most
shops stock the generic so I've used it here.
I've shown two starter solenoids, one a four pole and
one a three pole. These are also rather generic but
also refered to as Ford type. Either will work fine.
When wiring the unit just block out the version you
aren't using. The two poles at the end are for the
larger battery cable sized fittings, the one or two
towards the center are for smaller wires like the key switch.
The key switch terminals are usually slip fit but
I've seen screw type. The solenoid and starter motor
will be post and nut. The kill wire terminal at the
throttle bracket may have a post and nut, slip fit or spring loaded clamp.
You'll need to do a bit of homework with figuring
cable and wire lenght needed, terminal type
connectors and if you need to get a crimp tool for
the terminals. I'd advise getting the components
first so you'll know exactly what you'll need for
hardware before purchasing those items. If your dash
where you will mount the key switch is not grounded
to frame, find a key switch with a 6th terminal mark
"G" for ground so you can run a ground wire to frame.
Actually you could use the 6 terminal switch even if
you don't need the extra ground so if that's what's
available at the shop you go to, use it.

The "M" is for motor and is used to ground the
ignition to shut off the engine.
"A" is for accessories such as an electric clutch and
you're not going to be using this.
"R" is for regulator or charger and as of now this
won't be used.
"S" is for solenoid and will activate the starter
solenoid.
"B" is for battery and will always be hot, recieving
battery voltage from the in side of the starter
solenoid.
*If you use an automotive switch it can direct
battery voltage to the ignition coil and will destroy
the coil in an instant!
If you should have loosened the governor arm you will need to re-set it. If you haven't, don't. To set it loosen the 1/4" screw, rotate the bellcrank counterclockwise, the governor arm to the left, and the governor output shaft counterclockwise. Hold them all securely in that position and tighten the 1/4" screw. The screw needs to be tight but use caution not to overdo it, it doesn't have a nut backing it up, just a tin clamp and it will strip out easily if tightened too much.

SPRINT/CLASSIC CARB LINKAGE
The small spring is not used on earlier models. It was added in "97" as a governed idle.

Top link is throttle, bottom is choke. The choke slides into a slot in the control plate.
