I have a Craftsman Eager 1 Electric start push mower with power front wheel drive. It has a B&S 6.5 hp. I bought a new battery, coil, spark plug, and air filter for it. Drained all of the gas out, cleaned the carb, and refilled it with new gas. I'm looking for the wiring diagram from the key to the starter to the coil. A diagram that would give me the readouts and what not.

any help on this matter would be great.

any advice on this lawn mower would be appreciated as well.

I was on this site awhile back but forgot my name and password, so I reregistered.

Thanks in advance.

What's the mower doing? I don't know of any diagram for it.

it's doing nothing. I can't pull start it and I can't electric start it. New battery and new coil. Maybe the starter is shot. need to know which wires go where, because I think the person I got it from rewired it.

Also which one is the kill switch wire? I've been reading posts about that. It may possibly be the problem.

The kill wire is the small black wire that plugs onto the coil. Have you checked for spark? The starter wouldn't keep it from starting with the pull rope, so I wouldn't worry about that yet.
