Hello everyone I recently purchased a 51 8n and have been sorting out the various issues. One problem I've come across is the battery is not charging. I tested the generator by connecting it to the battery and it motors fine. Checked the wiring and cleaned terminals and still no luck, so I purchased a new voltage regulator. Upon installing the new regulator and polarizing it, I started the tractor. Initially output on the amp gauge jumped up to +15 amps then settled down to +10, then suddenly the gauge read -10 amps I revved the tractor and it came back up to plus 5 then slowly dropped to 0 and now is back to the same reading the old regulator was, slightly negative due to the ignition system draw. Any ideas on what could be causing this? I am stumped.
Thanks for all your help! :?
