Great job on the replacement motor.  It looks like a brand new machine.    Check out this link for Briggs & Stratton Numerical Designation System.  My interpretation is that the last 2 in 12B412 indicates rewind starter only without electric start or alternator. With these options it would be a 4.   If you need the headlight you might be able to retrofit an alternator winding or worst case put in a small 12V rechargeable battery - 5 amp hours would run one a couple hours.  Maybe that wire is a deadman control to cut the motor.  

Not sure about most ages here but a few seem MUCH more immature than 22.     -Bob

Other option

I use and like the led models. Long battery life. Reasonably bright.

But maybe we all mis-understand. This is a Snapper with original engine and  original headlight?  So the headlight or headlight wire has a short causing the engine to stall when you hook up the headlight wire to the headlight?
