Posted a while back about a possible dead battery. It wasn't dead. Charged it back up, hooked it up, polarized the generator, and started it up. Measured voltage across the battery. About 6.2 volts. The ammeter needle doesn't move at all. Increasing speed, decreasing speed, or shutting it off. So is my problem a voltage regulator, generator, or could it be the battery is at full charge so there is no charge going back to battery?
All connections, clean, bright, and tight.
Also, tested the circuit to make sure there wasn't a current draw after the tractor is stopped. Unhooked grounding strap, no current measured across battery circuit (measured from negative post hooked to started to grounding cable unhooked from positive terminal).
Thanks,
John
