B&S 14.5 HP engine connections

| Hello All!
I just purchased a Briggs 14.5 HP riding mower engine for a project that I'm building, a small powered crane. The problem is, the connection diagram in the manual for the engine is out of touch with reality. This is the information:
Manufacturer: Briggs & Stratton
Model: 280H07-0036-E1
Description: Intek Vertical Engine
The manual is not specific to this model, and it says to connect the red wire to the battery, and the white wire to the lights. I have two connectors, one red and black wires, and one grey and black. Can anyone tell me which wires go to what? I don't really need lights, just alternator output and mag kill switch.
thanks |

| Well the Red wire will go to a terminal that feeds to the positive post of the battery. That wire is probably part of a pair going to a duplex connector. The Red wire will be DC to charge the battery, the other wire will be AC which you will not need and just leave disconnected. The third wire should come from under the cooling shroud by its' self. That will be the "Kill Wire" to short out the ignition, shut off the engine. Walt Conner |

| Well, there is an example of "quad circuit alternator", whatever that is, that has a red and black connector, and it does say to run the black wire to a white wire and then to the lights. The confusing part is that it shows the other connector, with the gray and black wires, coming out of the shroud and then going back in, through a yellow connector. That's the part that I don't see. Is it possible that the gray wire is for the kill switch? |

You have the Dual circuit" alternator.
If you look in the IPL for that engine (available on the Briggs website), you;ll see the 0036 TYPE uses that version. Red is a DC 3 amp (nominal) battery charging lead.
Black is 14 VAC for lighting. (typically, 5 amps)
The DIODE to convert the AC to DC (RED wire) is in the White connector. |
