Greetings all, hope everyone is well.
Here's one for you brand-B fans.
EHP or HOPC Husqvarna rototiller.
Model: FT-900
Type: 960 830009-00
S/N: 021415M011628
Engine:
Chinese B&S
Model: 130G30
Type: 0056-F1
Code: 2014103068
Customer brought in aforementioned unit that wouldn't start. Initial diagnostic, no spark. Engine does not have low oil sensor or interlock, just the rocker switch by the throttle control. Remove cowl and disconnected stop wire from coil, good spark, checked switch, OK, reconnected wire, no spark. Notice a wire going up to under fuel tank so remove tank to explore. Dead end wire with bare end touching crankcase. Cut wire off at coil connector and remove from engine, problem fixed.
My question is; If the engine does not have the low oil sensor or the ¼ turn switch like Honda, why have a dead end wire going up under the fuel tank where it can short out? Any suggestions welcome. Thanks
