That came with either battery or magneto. If the distributor is rather shallow and the ignition wires cross the middle of the cylinder head, it is battery, if the ignition is long and the wires cross above the thermostat housing- it is magneto.

That is one of the great historic motors made, but carry lots of gas!

Where does 12 volt go for the ignition coil on 18 hp koler 2000 cadet go

I am unfamiliar with the model but ignition wiring is almost universal and on a negative earth system a supply from the ignition switch is connected to the positive (+) terminal of the coil, that in earlier times was marked Batt.
The other coil terminal is connected to the contact breaker or ignition amplifier or cdi as applicable...

The link below should provide a downloadable manual.

1967 buick riviera 430 dist firing order also vacuum diagram for engine and does dist wire go on pos side of coil?

F.O. is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. Rotor turns clockwise. Wire from coil to distributor is from negative side of coil. The positive side of coil is for hot wire originating from ignition switch. Always hot with key on.
For vacuum diagram, just google "1967 Buick Riviera 430 cu in, vacuum diagrams" . It is there.

I HAVE A 1978 EVENRUDE 35 HP NO FIRE TO THE PLUGS GREAT COMPRESSION???

evinrude 1978 -1979 have a capacity discharge ignition unit as the control for the spark system
it runs wires to an ignition coil
so I would be suspicious of that unit
check all connections for corrosion and bad connections
I typed in electrical schematics for 1978 evinrude out board engine and found a site --www.maxrules.com which in the list of schematics has 55hp 1977-1978
press on that and you get a schematics of the wiring diagram evinrude 1978-1979 55hp
now I am aware that you state that yours is 35 hp but if it has 2 cylinders then it is a fair bet that the wiring diagram will be the same
any way there are plenty of other sites that may be of benefit

HI .. Can you uys help me i need to put my led light but unfortunately i cant because of the magneto i need only 12v but my motorcyle produce higher than 12v it can destroy my led light i have this co

Your shogun does come equipped with a voltage regulator to protect your headlight, you shouldn't tap off the ignition circuit or directly off the alternator just for the reasons you listed, plus it can affect these systems unpredictably. Can you tap off the hot side of your horn before the switch, or taillight? If you tap off your headlight it would only work either in the high or low. Of course for the negative (-) side, grounding it any place on the frame is fine. Give these spots a try. Take care and enjoy your ride.

1968 evinrude starflite 100 hp no spark

Some of those had a battery ignition with a short cap and rotor, and some had a magneto which reached down into the bucket. Both had points and condenser like an old car. The cog belt location was critical. 2 teeth off and it would not fire. the key switch was wired diferently for each ignition system.

I have a 82 gs550l if i charge the battery and then ride it the battery wont stay charged and when the headlight is on it drains the battery even faster

You have either a rectifier or charging coil(magneto) issue. The rectifier changes the AC pulse from the magneto to 12V DC. If that checks out, you'll need to test the magneto. Either case you'll need to have a multimeter handy and access to the factory repair manual for the testing parameters and wiring diagrams. Good luck!

I have a Briggs & Stratton 18.5 HP Twin Cylinder engine that has no spark. How can I check the magneto? And, there is a wire that goes to the magneto. Should there be 12v to that wire? If I replace the...

It all depends on the model of engine. If it is a twin engine doesn't it have two magnetos.Very unusual for both to go bad It will depend on the type of ignition(points or solid state) The wire going to the magneto could be the kill switch (kills when grounded) Disconnect it and see if you get spark. IF so then it is in your safety/ignition circuit. If you replace magneto usually the gap is .008-.012
