Picked up a lawn edger last week for $5 and because it was so cheap, thought it worth the gamble.
But before I start repairs to the frame and fit new wheels I want to get the engine to run.
It is a Red Briggs and Stratton 3.5 hp unit.
Is it OK to run a wire from the electronic ignition unit, through a momentary switch and to ground to stop the unit.
The old setup on the motor has been butchered and it appears to have gone through what looks to be a diode. Anyway with this all removed the engine has spark, but you need to choke it or pull the ignition lead off to get it to stop.
Cheers
