TROUBLESHOOTING AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: FE350, PEDAL-START ENGINE
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The electrical system on the FE350 pedal-start vehicle is 12 volts DC with negative ground to frame. It con-
sists of ten circuits that are easily identified:
• Starter Circuit
• Generator Circuit
• Engine Ignition Circuit
• Engine Kill Circuit
• Reverse Buzzer Circuit
• Low Oil Warning Circuit
• Lockout Cam Circuit
• Fuel Gauge and Sending Unit Circuit
• Hour Meter Circuit
• Lighting Circuit
A pedal-start vehicle uses the ignition key to activate both the electrical system and starting circuit. Advancing
the accelerator pedal starts the engine and provides forward or backward travel, depending on the position of
the Forward/Reverse handle. See Section 13 – FE350 and FE400 Engines.
Recognizing and understanding the function of each of these circuits will help to quickly isolate the source of
an electrical problem. Use the troubleshooting flow charts in the Circuit Testing section to find the proper test
procedure to correct the electrical problem. See Circuit Testing on page 11b-16.
For a complete wiring diagram, see pages 11b-8 and 11b-9.
