I shutoff my tractor the other day and noticed the battery boiling. I checked the output at the battery and it reads around 18v. I changed the regulator and the generator would not come on, didn't produce any voltage. Put on the old one, same type and they are both only a month old, and get the same 18 volt output. I took the generator, which is also a month old to Autozone, watched him check it and the machine said it was good. Put it back on tractor and get 18 volts. I ran an external wire to the p and f from regulator to generator, just in case I had a wiring issue. No luck.
Now when I pull the battery terminal off, the tractor shuts down. Also, if I disconnect the battery lead on the "batt" terminal on the generator, the "batt" terminal measures 35 volts.
The voltage does not go up or down with the throttle, it goes from 12 volts to 18 in about 20 seconds.
I plan on taking the regulator and generator to Autozone tomorrow and having them check them together. Other than that I am lost.
Any help would be appreciated.
