Picking Her Up later

Well I kind of had a big tobockle with my 127. I bought it and brought to someone who fixed some other things for me who has done a great job. My 127 did not run when I got it because the wiring was shot. He said to bring it so he could jump it and make sure the trans and everything was good before I sunk any money into it. So he called and said it ran great but the harness was shot. So while I was waiting to finish my shed, since I had no room, I decided to just let him change the harness and do a full fluid change and tune up.

Well harness was installed and the problems began. First it was starting in the run position and not turning the S/G off, then it was starting in the start position and when you let go of the key, it would shut off……. He did later admit to me that he was not the best at wiring, (as the VR was wired incorrect at first) Well here is where I am at Now.

Ok, this is the issue and I have had Much great advice from everyone here !! Thanks to MattG, Darkminion, GCBailey, T-MO, and ACecil just to name a few !!!!

Replaced Parts:
Wire Harness from Porch Electric
Coil
Points
Condenser
(Ignition Switch) used from parts tractor
Starter Solenoid (Used from parts tractor)

So, first it was starting in the start position and when you let the key go to the run position it turned off. Checked at the coil, when in run position, there was not 12v at the coil, hence why it turned off. When I let it run for a few seconds in the start position, the battery was charging correctly and was also showing correct on the dash gauge, and had 12v at the coil.

After some advice, I had him change the ignition switch with the correct one and now the Tractor is starting in the run position…….Grrrrrrrr

I also had him try the other starter solenoid and doing the same thing.

Well it starts, it charges, it turns off, just not correctly. I am thinking there is a crossed wire maybe? Maybe a bad VR ??? Starter Generator??

I am defiantly upset at all of this, but hopefully I can find something out of order in there and get it working.

Thanks again everyone !!!!

no need to thank me, I just do what Matt, and Jeff and everyone tell me... :biggrin2.gif:

But you are right, this is a great site and I've learned a ton of stuff and no one has ever left me feeling like "you idiot, go google it...." or anything like that.

I hear gc. I just hope I can figure out what is going on on this thing. I need a good 2 hours to chech and test everything out.

This sounds like you've got a couple wires in the wrong places. I would use your multimeter to verify that the correct wires go to the correct places before doing anything else. Next I'd be looking for a stuck contact in the V/R or something like that. Also, are you 100% sure you have the correct ignition switch?

The switch that was in it was wrong. I bought a parts tractor that had the correct switch in it and darkminion tested it for me said it was ok. I am looked at the vr and all looked ok. It does charge right when it is running. I do have another vr at home that looks good too. I am going to retrace all the wording again since my confidence level in the guy who did it is no longer there.
