Glad you got it isolated and fixed. I have a 2072 too, well sort of anyway. Mine was reengined with a Kohler Command 18 hp so the wiring is different than yours. I have read that the 2072 is a bit notorius for hard starting in cold weather. I suspect the battery position at the rear may be a contributing factor to this. I replaced my cables with a lot of overkill #2 copper cable that my son can get at his work. We have it apart at the moment so haven't tried to start it lately to see if that huge cable helps with cold starting or not. We have been having all the cold weather lately just not the opportunity to test anything engine related.
