maxtorman1234 Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 Does anybody know where i can get a wiring diagram for a Briggs 11hp engine? I just purchased it for $50 but it has no wiring on it. Also, on the carbeurator, there is a an open hole and i dont know what goes there. Can anyone help me out? Thanks
rjgoth Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 I will answer your second question first. The hole on the back of your carb -- there is a metal disk that is supposed to fit in there it is just a tight friction fit. You should be able to get that from your briggs parts store. The small wire from the coil attached to the condenser. You can put a switch on this wire to shut the engine on and off. Ryan
thedaddycat Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 That metal disc is called a Welch Plug and comes in the carb rebuild kit.... There, I fixed the spelling.... Mrs. Graham, my second grade teacher would be so upset for me missing that one.... LOL
maxtorman1234 Posted October 23, 2003 Author Posted October 23, 2003 Thanks, The engine has a magneto, and it has a charging coil but i dont know how to hook it up to charge.
rjgoth Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 If you can get the engine number first six digits, and the next four digits then take this number to the briggs website and look for the link for engine manuals. They may have a wiring diagram there. I hope that helps. Ryan
UCD Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 Graham It might help if we knew what tractor you were putting this engine in. Ihen I might be able to post an electrical diagram for that tractor if it came with a Briggs engine.
rjgoth Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 Yep... a Welch plug.... I have no idea why they call it that but I checked my briggs parts manual and its a "Welch Plug" Part No. 690627.
maxtorman1234 Posted October 23, 2003 Author Posted October 23, 2003 UCD, im trying to put the engine either in my 310 or my 712S. I would rather have it in the 310. Thanks
maxtorman1234 Posted October 23, 2003 Author Posted October 23, 2003 I just looked at the engine. I cannot see any numbers at all. Where would they be located? THanks again
rjgoth Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 If you look at the engine from the angle that your posted pic is taken from it will be on the right side on the shroud. This will be basically on the side of the engine opposite of the carb. Ryan
fuzy Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 Basically to make it charge (if yours is an unregulated charging system) all you need is a diode (there is a briggs number for one, but I would need to look it up) and connect it to the battery side of your solenoid. If it happens to be a regulated then you will need a regulator instead of the diode.
maxtorman1234 Posted October 24, 2003 Author Posted October 24, 2003 How do i find out if its regluated or not? It has a magneto and there is no other wiring on the engine other than 2 wires coming from the coil. Also, Should the starter have a plastic starting gear? It just dosen't look very practical to be plastic. THanks
maxtorman1234 Posted October 24, 2003 Author Posted October 24, 2003 I just looked the engine over. there are absolutely no numbers at all. What should i do about the wiring diagram? Thanks
fuzy Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 max, Usually the numbers were stamped into the flywheel cover, but someone could have changed it. In terms of the wiring, first we need to get our terminology between us straight. The magneto or ignition coil is the small 2 legged coil outside the flywheel that has the spark plug lead on it. It should also have a small wire going to the points. (assuming this unit has them) For the charging system the windings are called the stator ring. They are located under the flywheel. What does the connector that attaches to the stator look like? (color, shape, 1 or 2 wires, etc. Can you post a nice shot of it? Briggs color coded them to determine what style stator you might have. With this info I should be able to explain what to do with all of those wires.
maxtorman1234 Posted October 26, 2003 Author Posted October 26, 2003 The engine has a magneto for sure.Im pretty sure it has points also, there are two small wires (wrapped together) going underneath the flywheel and one smaller one. THe stator has two wires, one is red and another is yellow. [img]/club2/attach/maxtorman1234/briggs.jpg[/img]
