Troubleshooting and repair of the charging circuit on a Briggs and Stratton Lawn tractor engine. Thanks to Snaproll94e for his video: • Briggs & Stratton Batt...
Far Out! thanks for Video, Im checking this stuff now on JD Briggs and Troybuilt that won't kick over. I also found a guy that said he found a voltage drop across his 20 amp fuse on the JD Zturn mower. The Voltage drop was significant, he claimed the fuse box was very cheaply made and replaced with a more decent one and fixed his battery drain problem. IM not surprised how cheaper manufacturing is creating up in everything from JD, Milwaukee tools, Dewalt, testers, metal, ladders, as China is buying all of these businesses and tweaking fabrication/manufacturing.
20 yrs ago when Briggs and Stratton were made in the USA this never happened. Now that everything is made in China and Mexico , nothing last's more than a couple of years. Thanks Briggs and Stratton for outsourcing your no good products !
Careful probing the two close pins..I shorted them and it will zap..I'm not sure if any damage it causes to the stator..where did you get those backprobe tips?
I seen that too, Looking by starter at plug, it flashed few times, I fig the wire (s) might be shafed (wore) Might recheck that area cause something is going on there, re play your video ur see, thanks for sharing your video and time.
Make sure your voltage regulator is grounded properly. Even if it's bolted directly to a metal ground there could be corrosion between the regulator and ground. No one seems to mention this in any of the videos. If you don't have a voltmeter to check for voltage drop just temporarily put a jumper wire from the regulator casting to the negative battery terminal and see if the charging voltage improves. If not, the regulator could be bad.
My toro wheel horse 8-25 was running now my battery want stay charge i dont know how old is battery i can use it for awhile then it dies i have to boast it with my truck then its start again help me out please
Thank you very much for your excellent video explanation. I followed your instructions on a kohler command 16 HP not charging and narrowed it down to no ground at the rectifier. Added a ground wire from battery to rectifier and system charging at 14.7 volts. 15minutes and 2 foot of wire to fix at ZERO cost.
Cut the lead off the old regulator and you will have wire and connectors to check stator voltage next time!!!
You have fixed my problem and I thank you very much 😊
Remember the days of the mechanical voltage regulator. Got out your jewelry file & cleaned the contacts, just like in the ignition points.

Just awesome that you take time to help out others this video will help me thank you

Good trouble shooting, thank you!!
the yellow connector from voltage regulator is sparking while your testing stator out put and dc disconnected interesting
I seen that too,

Might recheck that area
cause something is going on there, re play your video ur see,
thanks for sharing your video and time.
I see that too, but the only thing the regulator is hooked to, is the ground, by way of the mounting bolt. Where the heck could that be coming from?
You did a GREAT job explaining how the charging system works. I'm sure this will help a lot of people like myself. Thanks.
Mine is the opposite. Mine is overcharging 16 V.
Make sure your voltage regulator is grounded properly. Even if it's bolted directly to a metal ground there could be corrosion between the regulator and ground.

Excellent. Thanks. I only have one yellow wire so do I connect the neg probe to ground (or battery earth)?
Спасибо, не знал как подключается регулятор)
Thanks... explained well
Good job explaining the diagnosis sequence, very helpful.
A obvious way on some of the regulators when they go bad it puffs out the epoxy resin over the electronics . I see this many times
Thanks for very useful tips. !
Will it make one coil run and the other will kill it
Ll lmk 0 no ok no
Even the cat approves. Good video!
Good video!
Dear do you know why the regulator might be overheated and caught fire ?
Could be bad ground

Your battery needs changed
Could be battery, and alternator
Dang it no headlights!?
Howmigonna get home!?
How can I test the regulator?
I got a new regulator and I'll like know if is working properly.
Install on mower. Start mower. Check for 13-14 volts at battery.

Great news. I'm glad you got it fixed.
