I am trying to get the electric systems on these 2 tractors upgraded so the charging systems work and they start better when it is cold & damp outside. Cleaning connections solved most of the problems and some different amperes gages helped indicate charging and hopefully keeping the battery's charged so they start when cold.
On the (U-302 Regular) the amp gage hardly moves to the negative side when cranking and the (U-302 Super) the amp gage shows a Pretty solid Negative 30 amps when cranking the engine. Could this mean the starter solenoid is bad or something else? I haven't cleaned the connections on the starter yet but both tractors start fine. Also the (U-302 Super) has a Resistor in the line going to the coil. I think the coil has a notation on it that it needs no resistor. I don't have a Manual just for the (Super U-302) but the Manual for the (Regular U-302) doesn't have a Resistor listed the parts list. Could that cause the extra high Amp draw and starting hard?
Also I need an manifold and some Manifold gaskets. I was wondering why the mufflers did not muffle until I seen the condition of the Manifold. Who has manifolds for U-302?
