prd,

Thanks for letting me know about that shielded white wire, I'll disconnect it from the key switch tomorrow.

Surely there must be a wire that the Magneto on the Key Switch connects to. Finding that wire is a problem.

I've used Red wire for power and black for ground based on the terminal lettering.

The black wire on the Honda Solenoid is married up with a white wire going to the Key Switch (Ignition). The black wire with white stripe from the Honda solenoid is earthed under the can.

I'll silicon the top part of the solenoid sometime tomorrow/. I'll have to use the right type of silicon.

How does one start the mower electrically if there is no magneto wire to use?

Manually starting .i.e. pulling the rope is not always ideal. I run out of puff after 5 pulls of the rope.

Cheers. Bondy
