I installed a 30 hp briggs motor in a dixie chopper, can anyone tell me how to wire the engine, there is a red, black, and gray wire, from the mower I have a white that went to the coils, and a red wire that went to the fuel, I'm not getting fire to the plugs
From motor red wire has a jumper, hooked it to gray wire for fuel, it kick open when key is turned on.
Red wire from mower is hot when key is on, I hooked it to red wire on motor
I have left is white wire that went to coils on mower.
And black wire from motor

Can anyone tell me what the wires coming out of my new 30 hp motor is for,
There is a plug it has a red wire that is also a jumper, a gray wire, and a black wire
The mower had a white wire that went to the coils, and a red wire that went to fuel, I have a jumper to gray wire from red jumper wire, red wire from mower to red wire on motor.
What I have left is a black wire on motor, and white wire from mower, I know the white wire went to coils

Hi,
I would say that you have a different charging system on the replacement engine(I assume that is what it is.) It would be most helpful to have the engine and equipment inf(numbers) to ascertain a correct answer.
Peace,
