20hp Briggs and Stratton and it's kicking my behind! New battery this spring and it's been fine until now. Checked the ac voltage coming out of the stator (one wire) and it was 27 volts. Should be good. Checked the DC voltage out of the regulator (one wire) and it was 7.4. Ordered a new aftermarket regulator and it was the same voltage. Assuming it was just a bad one I had them send another. Same voltage. Grrr! Added a new ground wire to the regulator with no change.
Ordered a new stator and installed. 33 volts AC coming out. 7.8 DC coming out of regulator. Tried the original regulator and the other new one and still just had 7.6 to 7.8 volts DC coming out of the regulator. Took the regulator off my D130 and installed it. Same 7.8 volts DC.
There's only one wire from the stator going to the regulator and it's unhooked to test. Plug it in and there's only one wire coming out of the regulator to test. Nothing else should effect it. Can't be the connectors because they all do the same thing. Don't seem possible but it is. Anyone have any ideas???
