Just out of curiosity what kind of volt meter are you using? Voltage that high at WOT would boil your battery.

Lew could very well be right on about the switch, especially if you aren't using a cub one or something heavy duty. You might have a good aftermarket switch, but not quite something that stands up to the vibration.

I too think your meter is wrong. A generator is not capable of putting out 20V. 17V is about their max. I've never seen a switch that made something "pulse". I highly, highly doubt is't a switch. May not have good ground and the regulator isn't charging right. That can cause a pulse..... But I also doubt it's just the ground for the light. |

Used my dad's GB multi-meter and got 14 at idle and 15.4 at WOT. Otherwise a new fuse so I'm going to replace it and take a note Emory cloth to the ground before I replace the switch but it's looking like that may be my weak link.

That's still too high. You don't want anything over 14.5 really....

The accuracy of the meter was questioned, how about checking it on a standard? Try it on your battery without the engine running and see what you get. Then try it on a couple more known good batteries. All the results should be pretty darn close. FWIW, I have a meter that stays at my house so I can check voltage of my generator output should we lose power. I have checked the readings in my house and wrote them on the back of the meter, then I make sure I am getting the same when the power goes out and I have to switch to generator.

Since I was getting too many volts to the battery and I noticed I was getting moisture/nasty corrosion around the positive pole (possibly boiling the battery) I decided to get just a new voltage regulator. I'm now getting 12.8 V at idle and about 14.2 V at WOT.
At idle my lights are fine now but when I throttle up, the lights started flashing again. I took the lead wire from the switch off the right light and touched it to the left light and the flashing in the left bulb stopped but the right one continued to flicker. The only thing that I can think of is that I just have a bad bulb in the right side? I've tightened all the connections and cleaned the ground, I even have the lights grounded with the voltage regulator on the same bolt. I don't think it is the switch if its just the one bulb but any takes on the situation are more then welcome. |

Swith the lights left to right and see if the flicker moves.

J-Mech - I didn't completely switch the lights around but I did switch the wires around and the one bulb still flickered |

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.
