: : : : I have a Massey-Harris 30 that I restored over the past nine months.Put it all back together and it started and ran fine.After taking it for a spin the other day I parked in the driveway and shut it down.When I went to start it,nothing.
: : : : When pushing the starter I can hear a faint spark either by the battery or the switch.I took the battery to get tested and it was holding a 6 volt charge but had no cranking amps,replaced with a new one.
: : : : Put in a new starter switch,had the starter tested, the generator was rebuilt,all new wires in the control panel test ok,battery cables test good, ground ok.
: : : : When I put the fully charged battery in and hit the starter,still nothing.Put the charger on again and it's totally drained.
: : : : Can't figure why it was running good and now DOA.
: : : : Any thoughts would be appreciated!! : : : Alan, not familiar with your machine, but does it have a voltage regulator with points? Sounds like they are not opening when you are shutting down. That would drain the battery in an hour easily
: : The cut-out was tested and is ok : I found that my Ign switch had a "leak" in it. untill I replace it I disconect the Battery. Alan in Wash, battery was disconnected after every try. Keep the ideas coming, we'll hit it yet!!
