Thanks for your response, appreciated. I know that the DC cable can be connected to key switch ( R for regulator) to charge battery once it is turned on and while engine is running but can it be connected straight to positive terminal on battery instead ? Also does the rectifier normally have a...

Hello, I have a two wire Briggs and Stratton rectifier as shown in photo that converts AC power from the alternator to dc to charge battery while the engine is running. The 11.5 hp Briggs and Stratton engine has one wire coming from the alternator. Can someone tell me please which wire ( yellow...

That's funny ! Thanks

Hello, I have been putting a lawn tractor together for my small son. I have a 12v 85ah battery that was originally used on a golf buggy, I realise that the ah is overkill but is there any reason that I can't use it on this? The engine is a 11.5 hp Briggs and Stratton and the battery starter...

Thanks John

Thank you John, does a silencer like the one you mention ( Honda 125 cc) have a muffler system inside it that "quietens" the exhaust as it goes through. I remember my dad had an old Yamaha c90 that as you say was realy quiet. I guess the fact that there is nothing inside the one I have, but...

Hello, I have been working on an old ride on lawnmower and " converting" it into a small tractor for my son. All is done but I am wanting to buy a muffler or silencer for it as it is fairly loud. The engine is a Briggs and Stratton 11.5hp and I have set up a 1 1/2" pipe system from it that I...

Hi John, Yes I know they do cost a lot. I was hoping to use something like the Honda 90 system. Any reason that this wouldn't work. I notice the Honda 90 is about 9 hp. Thanks

Briggs and stratton 11.5 hp OHV vertical shaft. Thanks

Thanks again John. You're not going to start charging for your advice are you?

Hello, I need to fit a muffler/silencer system to a ride on mower that I am converting into a mini tractor for my young son. We live in the country but surrounded by houses and therefore would like it to be as quiet as possible. I have looked at various muffler/silencers similar to the attached...

Cheers John. I may have a question or two about exhaust system over the next couple of days. Would be great to get some more info if not too much trouble

Thanks John, it looks like it is is only a one wire setup from what the seller told me. Can you let me know what this wire is connected to? I am assuming, maybe wrongly to the positive on the battery? Thanks

Hi John, Thanks for your response. The wire connects to a metal male "prong" using a female connector as shown with red arrow in photo of another similar coil here. I was given the impression that the other end is connected to the I on the key switch. If correct does that mean that this I...

Hi as per heading I would like to know where this wire on my Briggs and Stratton engine goes. I am attaching a photo of the engine and the wire in question( pointed with red arrow) The green arrow shows where it is connected to the ignition coil using a female/male connector. I think it is the...

Many thanks everyone

Hello, I have inherited a Honda GVC 530 16 hp overhead cam engine that I want to fit to my ride on lawnmower. The original Briggs and Stratton had given up the ghost. It fits fine but I have a few questions about it please. There are two flexible pipes at the front as per attached photo. They...

Thank you also John, I may have other questions in the future I hope you will both be happy to give me further advice. Cheers J

Thanks Harry, you have pretty well confirmed what I thought but I really appreciate your advice/input. Cheers

Hello, I'm fitting a new engine into a ride on mower, it used to be Briggs and Stratton and this one is a Honda gcv 530. It fits fine but the piece in the photo gets in the way of the steering rod. I am assuming that it is the oil drain with a bolt at the end to remove for doing this. If it were...
