No charge-help please

[CC102PULLER]

The battery hasn't been charging on my 122. With my cover off the V/R, should I see a spark between the contact points like ignition points? If so, I'm not seeing anything out of either contacts. any input? Thanks

Check to see if your grounds are cleaned and tight. Also check to see if all electrical connections are tight and clean as well.

First check the S/G to see if it's making electricity or not, take the belt off of the S/G pulley, turn the key then short out the "F" terminal to ground with a jumper wire, the S/G should slow way down if it is making electricity.

If that proves to be good then run a jumper wire from the pos battery post to the "bat" terminal on the V/R if that doesn't make it charge then go here, http://www.cubcadetman.com/content/i...tor-&Itemid=53

No, they are not points like that. You should not see any spark.

Ok thanks guys. Now that I'm not looking for a spark I'll start with the s/g and move on from there. Thanks again!!

Would not the S/G slow way down and come to a complete stop if you remove the belt from the pulley while it is running.
And would it not , not be turning if you remove the belt from the pulley with the engine off?????

Lonny, the engine is not running. Just the S/G.Now it makes sense , right.? Have a good one. Chris

Hi Lonny,

Yeah, maybe that wasn't as clear as it could have been.

Take the belt off (with the engine not running) turn the key to the start position and hold it there (so the S/G spins, like if it was starting the engine).

Then short the "F" terminal on the S/G to ground. If the S/G is capable of making electricity, grounding it will cause it to slow down.

I hope that makes it a little more clear.

it was clear the first time. S/G did slow down when I touched the wire from f to ground. on to the next step...
