Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): B&S 4224 electrical, electric components, electrical system


Question
Hello, i have acquired a pump with a B%26S 4224 18HP engine on it. However the electric components that facilitate the electric start are detached. I cant find any type of diagram for the electrical system. I did take a 12V ATV battery and try to start it by just using one side off the battery to the block. It does run, i was able to wrap a string and get it pull started but i would really like the electrical system to function.

Thanks,

Andrew Heilmann
