I have a bit of a crisis with my '48 Cub. I rewired my tractor so that it matched the wiring diagram in the operator's manual. Problem is it wouldn't start. So, I figured I'll jump the generator and run the coil directly off the battery to get it going. Now, when I disconnect the lead I jumped with, the engine dies. The only way to keep it running without the jump is to rev the engine all the way up, but it runs poorly and eventually dies. My generator isn't even putting out enough power at high speed to charge up the coil (to say nothing about charging the battery.) So here's the question: How can I troubleshoot the generator and voltage regulator? And how exactly does the voltage regulator work with the generator? This tractor was converted from magneto to distributor ignition some years ago. Plus, my wiring diagram shows the voltage regulator having 4 terminals. Well, mine has 3 terminals so I didn't even touch that wiring. If it worked before it should work again. Thanks for any help, Chris
