Hi everyone my names Michael. I am from sunny Australia.
I have just picked up a couple of really cheap Rover ranchers and one has had a partially finished Techumeh conversion.
The mechanical side of it was basically bolt on but the wiring is doing my head in.
I hooked up a battery to the starter and it fired up but I was unable to turn it off.
The techumseh engine has only got 2 wires comming from the voltage stabilizer and neither of them kill the engine when the key is switched off or when they are grounded to the body.
I have a Rover manual and it indicates that there should be 3 wires (for a briggs) from the engine. 1 yellow to the lights, 1 red to charge the battery, and the third one escapes me.
The 2 wires coming from the techumseh are red and green.
The engine is a Tehumseh VH100.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I look forward to getting to know all of you and to be able to draw on the wealth of info on these pages.
Cheers guys.
ps. this thread would contain pictures but photobucket is doing maintenance or something..
