ANSWER: Hello Kirk:

>>Always Remove the Spark Plug Wire/s from the Spark Plug/s before Working on Any Small Engine unless the Plug/s must be Connected to the Coil/s for Diagnostic Reasons.
>>There are Several Different Types of Charging Coils/Stators on these Small Engines.
There is a Site that you can Use for Testing the Charging System and this Site should give you and Idea of where and How the Wires for your Specific Charging System is Connected.
>>For Testing the Electrical (Charging) System on Mowers you can Use this Site Addy; http://engines.myfaqcenter.com/Answer.aspx?p_faqid=3438 and Use the Link for AC Volts/DC Amps Meter Setting Chart. This is for Briggs Engines and Works Well for Kohler, Kawasaki, Tecumseh and Other Engine OEMs.

>>Also there may be a Voltage Regulator Required for the Stator to Charge Correctly.
>>Using the Chart, Let me know which Stator this Engine is Using for Charging and I can then Tell you How to Correctly Connect the Stator to the Units Electrical System.
>>Thanks.
