Electrical System - Gasoline Vehicles, Continued:
GENERAL INFORMATION
The electrical system on the DS Gasoline is a 12 volt DC negative ground to frame system. The electrical
system consists of seven readily-identifiable circuits. They are:
• Starter Circuit
• Generator Circuit
• Engine Ignition Circuit
• Engine Kill Circuit
• Reverse Buzzer Circuit
• Low Oil Warning Circuit
• Neutral Lock-out Circuit
Recognizing and understanding the function of each of these circuits will help to quickly isolate the source of
an electrical problem.

THE STARTER CIRCUIT (FIGURE 12-3, PAGE 12-4)
• BEFORE REMOVAL AND DISASSEMBLY, CLEAN THE ENGINE. ANY DIRT ENTERING THE
ENGINE, CARBURETOR, OR OTHER PARTS WILL WORK AS AN ABRASIVE AND SHORTEN
THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE. FOR THE SAME REASON, BEFORE INSTALLING A NEW PART,
CLEAN OFF ANY DUST OR METAL FILINGS.
FIGURE 12-1
• THE STARTER CIRCUIT IS COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT OF THE IGNITION CIRCUIT. THE BAT-
TERY DOES NOT SUPPLY POWER FOR IGNITION. THE BATTERY SUPPLIES POWER TO THE
STARTER WHICH IN TURN STARTS THE ENGINE COMPONENTS ROTATING. ONCE THE
ENGINE IS RUNNING, THE IGNITION CIRCUIT SUPPLIES POWER TO THE SPARK PLUG (SEE
ENGINE IGNITION CIRCUIT, PAGE 12-4).
