The generator on our John Deere 630 is getting to be a pain in the you know what. I can't figure it out and the generator shop can't figure it out. What it is is this: When the generator is running, it will charge, but as soon as you stop the motor, it will start drawing power off the battery and try to spin like an electric motor. However, if you unhook the battery and rehook it, it will reset itself, only to do the same thing when you restart the generator. We've tried two different regulators, and its done the same thing with both of them. Have we not done something right, or is there something wrong. Please help, and thank you for any replies.

If the gen shop can't figure it out.. ask them to fire the 13yr old that is running the place or find a new shop.. no rocket science to see that your generator is trying to moto cause the cutout wasn't poping open...

You could wire in a diode to prevent feedback. Are You sure you have the right polality regulator? Is is set up for positive or negetive ground? It is ovious that the cutout is sticking shut.

You could be running a positive regulator on a negative generator or vice versa. Causing the points to stick.
