yes the wiring harness does not match up. the 18 hp only has two wires going to the motor itself a red one and a black one.i take it the red one goes to the starter and the black one goes to the coil and i switched out the solenoid and ignition switch yesterday and still nothing.

Theres one wire to the starter, its the big round red one. There can be one wire to two wires going under the flywheel to the stator, for charging the battery and running the lights...., the other side theres a black wire from the coil, thats the kill wire.
