Allen - We're not even sure what Bill J got his other soleniod off of, might be from a car, truck, or larger tractor. Depending on what style of coil Kohler chose to fit, there may have been some engines in other brands of garden tractors that started with 12V to the points/coil and ran on 6V.
It was surprising how much simpler the wiring was on the 70 I refurbished compared to my 72 that's only three years newer. The Original, 70/100 all used the "Shotgun switch", the heavy push bottom made to handle high amps, no soleniod. Everthing newer, 71,102/122/123 and on used a soleniod with just a key switch.
