BN not charging


[ Expand ] [ View Replies ] [ Add a Reply ] [ Return to Forum ]

Posted by BobOHIO on June 25, 2006 at 06:37:46 from (66.153.35.200):

I have been reading archives for days and trying to figure out the charging system problem. My BN has a magneto and lights with a 6 volt pos ground. Am using the 4 post VR. When it runs shows slight discharge. Turn on lights and discharges to almost 15. Lights don't change with throttle change for dim or brightness. Voltage across battery shows 6 with tractor running 3/4 throttle.

This is what I did:
1. Belt is nice and snug
2. Grounds cleaned with sandpaper. Jumper wire to ground made no difference. Ohm meter between VR and Gen and frame reads 0.
3. Wiring is all new and according to John's instructions. I am confident that it is correct.
4. Gen 3rd brush is already set 3 bars from the other one.
5. Ground F terminal on gen while running and no charge.
6. With F term grounded ran jumper from A to Bat and it DID CHARGE to almost 15 on the meter.
7. Remove VR cap and tried to adjust spring to hold set of points closed (made spring tighter) with no change.
8. Layed screwdriver across the coil and points and it DID Charge again.
9. Bought a new VR from tractor supply. Connect battery and polarized it and still no charge

I even read about the guys who said there system didn't charge until running it for awhile then worked. Let it run for awhile with no change. One note: the VR I bought had been opened and I think returned. Could it be bad? Or am I missing something?

I am super frustrated. Please help. Thanks

Today's Featured Article - The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash. This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F. Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac. ... [Read Article]
