How To

Hello,

I'm in the process of placing an NOS 4hp Sensation engine into my 70's mower. The NOS engine has an engine brake, that I've by passed. How do I ground out the ignition to shut the mower off? I was hoping the throttle would bring engine speed down enough to do a controlled stall but she does not.

Any tips to shut the motor off without adding a ton of modern parts?? I suppose I could attempt the put the old carb. And throttlecplate from my seized 3.75 Briggs on her. I think the engine brake contains a grounding wire for the ignition. Is any body aware of any differences in a mid 90's 3.75 carb and a mid 80's 4hp??

Thanks in advance!

Joe

This is an easy fix! Behind the throttle bracket, above the gas tank theres a switch. I'll post a "how to".
