B&S 18hp ignition wiring codes
My ignition stopped working so I bought a new one. I removed the wires from the prongs, but misplaced the notes I took to put it back together. I've googled my *** off looking for help but cant seem to find something that applies to what I've got.
The ignition has five prongs, labeled B G L S M The wiring harness to the ignition has five wires with the colors, White, Blue, Red, Black and a double wire that looks purple or violet. Can anyone please solve this puzzle for me? thanks, |

B -- battery supply - fused 20 amps
G -- ground wire L -- load = lights - fuel pump - whatever electrical needs S -- starter solenoid wire M -- magneto kill wire |

Re: B&S 18hp ignition wiring codes
I appreciate the reply, but I still don't know what color wire gets plugged in to each of those five prongs. Same thing with the link Flintrock supplied. (I read the stickies before I posted)

Re: B&S 18hp ignition wiring codes
Without knowing what type machine or if it is original your going to have to trace it out with a multi meter. Voltage for supply and ground for ground. Only 3 wires left --- do not hook power to the magneto kill wire, it will burn out your coil. Look to see where your wiring goes.
This is only what mine is, I can't say it the same as yours. Black = ground = G Red = battery = B Blue = magneto kill = M White = starter solenoid trigger = S Purple = supply to lights and other electrical needs = L |

Re: B&S 18hp ignition wiring codes
You will have ro trace the wires back to their source then and go from there... I'll look at mine and see if that will help, but colors may be different on yours.

i'm not sure what to do now. The wiring harness splits in the engine compartment, some go to the back side of the engine, some go to the black box. I have no idea how to check to see which wires go where.... |

Re: B&S 18hp ignition wiring codes
Sorry I couldn't help. I guess you'll have to find your notes. Where the wires in a plastic connector that made them one unit to plug onto the switch like the one in the picture? If not you'll be able to buy one and fix those loose wires so you don't have this problem in the future. The wiring is different from different machines. You still haven't said what type golf cart it is.
