    MF 175 Key Switch

    First off it is gas and I replaced the alt/gen by using the number on the old unit and converting it to a newer number. If I get the new part number can you tell me what I may have to do or is their a easy way to test measure somewhere I do have a digital multimeter

    MF 175 Ignition and Charging
