Key Switch letter id
1 Attachment(s)
Hey Guys,
I'm re-wiring a garden tractor and need help with the letters on the back of my new key switch. The garden tractor is equipped with a starter generator, solenoid, voltage regulator and a Solid State Ignition. Please help! I included a picture to help. |
What model of Cub Cadet are you working on...?? :Huh:

Key Switch Letter ID
Well its not exactly a Cub- it's a 1967 Sears Surburban with 10 HP Tecumseh engine.

this is just a guess.
g= ground b=battery s=start m=magneto l=lights |

The switch... I assume G is Ground, B is Battery, S is Starter (or solenoid), M is Magneto (or motor) and L is Lights. Three position switch...off, on and start. To kill the ASS-U-ME theory with a meter or test light, verify that : At off, only B is hot. At on, B, M and L should be hot. Continuity is established between B to M and B to L. S is Dead. At start position, B, M and S should be hot. Verify continuity between B and M, and B and S. L is dead. |
Been my experience the "M" (magneto ) terminal is grounded in the "off" position
( magneto kill wire) so that would be another configuration/variance. :bigthink: |

Magneto is grounded to kill Magneto in off position. if it was connected to battery in off position, it would be powered. |
