I have a 300 utility with approximately 100hours after a rebuild. I purchased it this summer following the rebuild. It has been converted to a 12 volt system.

The alternator belt is tight, and there is not any excessive noise. My theory is that it is only getting a trickle charge and that toward the end it does not get enough spark. I have fresh gas, and have changed the sediment bowl. Do I take it in for a tune up already, or take the battery to have it checked, or call my snowplow guy to kiss and make up after I told him he wasn't needed ? Thanks
