i am workin on a Super M at the moment and the tractor had a 6 volt set up but it wasn't enough to turn the starter to my liking, so i converted it to 12 volt, i had done one like this earlier this year and it works great, but when i got to this one i can start it and it starts great, but as soon as i let off of the starter button, it quits, it run great when i hold the starter button down, but once i release that it quits, the tractor cracks right off right away but liek i said once i release the starter button it will die, i'd appreciate any info on the wiring set up, or any solutions you all might have, thanks

Chris

Chris check the backside of your starter switch. I bet the accessory wire is on the wrong post.

It sounds like you are losing the 12 volt feed to the ignition coil when you release the start switch. Did you check over your wiring? Put a voltmeter across the 12 volt side of the coil, then start it and watch the meter while you release the start switch. If that theory holds up the meter would show zero volts when you let go of the switch. Trace the the wiring back from the coil. It should go to switched side of the run/stop switch. Don't put it on the battery side or you won't be able to shut it off. Good Luck!
