Starting fresh with solutions: It either has a Cutout relay and a Light switch controlled charge rate, or if it was purchased without lights, it might have a cutout relay with a field resistor. It could also have a Voltage regulator with possibly four wires on it (or three) and no light switch control of charge rate. If the needle is not moving it is (more than likely) not charging. If it is not it will not "hold a charge" because it isn't getting any (electricity from the gen). Slow charge the battery until it is fully charged. That might help, the starter. The starter can spin W/O engaging if the battery is low. Next, Not running, with battery installed (positive ground) and all wires connected, use a good jumper wire to jump between the Bat terminal and the Gen terminal on the cutout relay (or regulator). This should make a nice spark, but not harmful. Next start it up and run it at 3/4 throttle. Look at the amp gauge. if charging it is fixed! If not leave it running as above, and jump the Field (F) terminal on the Gen to ground. This should have a small spark and the gen should charge. If it does, the VR is either not grounded well, or the Charge control (light switch) L or H position is not functioning. The link will make it work! JimN

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
