So if you buy the kits that say pre 2011 models you just have to get the other coil?

Yea what’s the deal? Isn’t timing supposed to be off if you try using one of these kits on a motor newer than 2011? I’ve read the flywheel keyway is not the same resulting in timing being 20° off? Did you get around this somehow or is this engine older than 2011?

The kit that you bought is designed for a pre-2011 GX390, that's why you had so much trouble. Your video helped me out: I had bought the same kit for my 2016 generator GX390, so I'm going back with an early model coil like you did here. ONE PROBLEM: you show to direct wire your replacement coil to your low-oil switch. You need to put a low-oil module between the switch and the coil. It prevents a on-and-off-again situation when the oil is a bit low.

The yellow wire goes to the low oil cut-off , that you do not have installed. Where your black wire that comes from the low oil cut-off , you unplug it and that is where the split pig-tail goes . One side hooks back up to the low oil cut-off and the other to the coil wire.

Tucker, there are companies that sell used billboard covers or tarps. Some of these will last 2 years, while others will last up to about 10 years and are made of heavy duty vinyl. Both are UV protected. If you get a metal frame, you can buy a tarp to cover it, buy a grommet tool, and you can have a nice shelter over your trailer. There are hardware kits that you can buy that use 1-1/2" EMT conduit, and they are made to last. You could look into that as well.

The wire with the diode comes from the charging coil underneath the flywheel. It should be producing 12-14 vdc while the engine is running. It must have that diode inline to produce DC output. Measure it to be sure. It is the charging wire that should connect to the positive side of the battery to trickle charge the battery while running. I have a Honda OEM drawing of the starter and charging circuit if you want me to send it to you.
@Woodyvision0420
Жыл бұрын
Yes the wire with the diode goes to the charging coil. However, that power goes into the box and back out on the red wire to the starter. That red wire is a 2 way street, providing power to the box at start up and charging to the battery after the engine is running.

Check your gap on your magneto after you swapped out the flywheel. Gap should be size of business card. Check spark plug. Drain your gas and put new in. Check your air filter. And lastly pull your carburetor off and clean it out if nothing else works.
