Default Charging question

My 100 was running fine when i had it at the fair and pulled with it, The other day i used it to cut the grass and i noticed it sounded like the engine was under a heavy load and didnt sound like it usually does. So i put it back in the garage and checked the oil and all the turning stuff like the clutch and PTO and s/g to make sure a bushing didnt seize its all free, that was saturday. Yesterday i went to start it and when i pushed the button the engine turned a little and stopped so i put a jump pack on it and it started right up but when you give it throttle it sounds like its under a load. I just put a new regulator on it and all the wiring is new and its been fine so far the only thing i have changed is i put a ammeter on it and wired it like the diagram says in the tech section. When its idling and the lights are on there pulsing and they never did that before. Thanks in advance for any help!

I would be looking at your S/G. Sounds like there is some strange things going on with it.

Does the S/G turn hard by hand?

I doubt it is the generator putting a load on it as the motor has the power to burn the belt or generator easily I just fried my generator because the rear bearing had a cap over the lube hole and wasn't letting oil in the only thing I noticed was the post melting does the case get abnormaly hot ? drive train all lubed up? good air flow out over the cooling fins ? ( muddaubers - mice in the blower) maybe you have a carb jet partially clogged hole in muffler ?

I think ive narrowed it down to the regulator, the running issue was my kids pulling on the choke cable to hard and getting it out of adjustment and the choke was 1/4 closed( there 2 and 3 ). I grounded the field terminal on the s/g and it drags the engine down and the lights get real bright so the s/g is working so that only leaves the regulator because all the wiring is new

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
