Own a Scotts 25/54 that has had a charging light problem for years and finally bit the dust. History; for yrs the discharge light would come on for a while then not. Sometimes it'd stay on the entire time I cut grass but never had a dead battery problem. I'd replaced the regulator but changed nothing. Last yr the light stayed on all of the time but in cutting 2.5 acres it never presented a problem. This yr if you run it at length then shut it off the battery is dead. I recently parted out a mower that I used for a back up that finally blew the 25hp Kohler and kept the stator and regulator. Meaning I know by the amp gauge and the way it ran it was charging. Lights would dim at idle then brighten with the rpm increase. I put the donor stator/regulator on my Scotts and here's where I'm at. The oil and discharge lights used to light when you turned the key on but now oddly the discharge light doesn't. When I start it and even when I increase the rpm's the discharge light stays off. As soon as I engage the pto the discharge light comes on. Turn it off the light goes out AND for some reason my headlights don't work now. Battery is pretty new, terminals are clean, 15amp fuse is good. I checked voltage output at the stator terminals and one side (two white wires, middle purple = battery) shows up to 30 amps depending on rpm's, the other white wire shows nothing. Is this normal? I also replaced the donor regulator with my original but nothing changed. When I had the flywheel off I checked and all magnets are in place. I've read where some encountered a problem because the regulator mounts to plastic thus not grounded so they added a ground wire. I did this too grounding to the battery but it made no difference. I'm pulling hair here and the grass is growing! What am I missing??? :cry:
