It has a 5 prong connection. I think it is pretty common, but there is a chance of getting the wrong one. Any suggestions where to get the correct one, new or used? Thanks, Roy [Reply]   [Send Email]

The 5 pin connector is widely used BUT how the switch is wired internally is not the same. If you get the wrong switch at the least, it will not work. At the worst it will not work and it will apply 12 volt to your magneto destroying the magneto. Your Allis is a Simplicity. They used at least two with differing internal connection.

One is for a Mag type of ignition and one is for a 12V coil type of Ignition.   [Reply]   [No Email]

I will try Napa tomorrow. I do dread asking them what the cost will be. I was told that my mower was built in an Allis Chalmers factory and is not a Simplicity. They did use a number of common parts though. Mine is a battery and coil ignition, no magneto. My 2 old switches do not have terminal identification.   [Reply]   [Send Email]
