hello Bud, I have an 1886, a backhoe(ht23), an ht23 and an ht18. I have just Frankensteined my ht 18 and the wiring diagrams in the kohler/bolens manuals are contradicting themselves. I have the 30 amp setup with the 4 wire stator (red, red, blk, blk) and the syncro 30 amp regulator. I am not sure how to wire the reds. one diag says ground one red wire, one diag says wire it to b+. do you have this setup on any of your models? do you have any idea how to wire this? I would hate to let the smoke out of the stator or the regulator. A pic of the wiring would be nice on the reg/rectifier(syncro).
