Alternator IdentificationBriggs & Stratton engines are equipped with a number of different alternator systems to meet the requirements of equipment manufacturers. For example, a large lawn tractor with accessories may require a 16 amp regulated system, whereas a snow thrower with a single headlight requires an AC Only system. Knowing the type of alternator system an engine is equipped with is important, particularly when an engine is being replaced. Briggs & Stratton alternator systems are easily identified by the color of the stator output wire(s) and the connector.

Engine/Alternator Replacement InformationWith the exception of the AC Only alternator, all of the alternator systems referred to in this book have a battery as part of the electrical system. There are specialized applications that use an alternator without a battery. An example would be certain generators or welders that use alternator output to excite an electrical field. For the equipment to function, the alternator output must be very evenly matched to the equipment requirements. When replacing an engine in these applications, the alternator must be the same as the original. Replacing Briggs & Stratton Engines When replacing an older Briggs & Stratton engine on a piece ofequipment with a newer Briggs & Stratton engine, sometimes the newer engine has an alternator system different from the alternator system on the original engine. This means that the output connector on the replacement engine is not compatible with the original wiring harness on the piece of equipment. For example, the original engine may have been equipped with a Dual Circuit system and the replacement engine is equipped with a regulated system. We can integrate the two systems by making an adapter harness from readily available parts. Generally an unregulated DC system (DC Only, Dual Circuit) should not be used to replace a regulated system because alternator output may not be sufficient for equipment requirements. However, because the equipment requirements are usually much less on an unregulated DC system, a regulated system may be used as a replacement. The regulator/rectifier prevents the battery from being over charged. NOTE: The AC Only, DC Only, Dual Circuit, Tri-Circuit as well as the 5 and 10 amp regulated systems use flywheels with small alternator magnets. The 9 and 16 amp regulated systems use flywheels with the large alternator magnets. See figure below for magnet sizes.

Briggs & Stratton Engine Replacing Engine Of Another Manufacturer When replacing the engine of another manufacturer with a Briggs & Stratton engine, the equipment requirements must be known so that the replacement alternator system has the same output as the original system provided. Often the equipment wiring harness is not compatible with the Briggs & Stratton alternator output harness. To create a compatible system it may be necessary to modify the the equipment wiring harness. To do this a wiring diagram for the equipment is essential. The original keyswitch may also create a problem. Even though the keyswitch harness connectors appear to be identical, there are internal differences to keyswitches. Therefore it is necessary to have a diagram of the keyswitch showing the terminal positions and their func
