Hi, Sorry for such a amature question, but I have a JDB that does not seem to charge. It runs fine once I start it. How do I troubleshoot a generator vs regulator problem?

thanks for your help

Tony,
Don't ever worry about asking a question. Most of us here are novices. I was just getting ready to ask the same question, but wanted to wait till I had time to work on the tractor. You saved me the trouble. By the way, for future reference, there are a lot of knowlegeable people here, and the one that reaponded to you is one of the best!
Good luck, and keep the questions coming!

Tony, first make sure you have battery voltage at the BAT terminal on the regulator, if OK then start tractor & run at fast idle, then using a jumper wire ground the "F" post of the generator (smaller of the 2 posts) to a GOOD CLEAN spot on the frame or generator, if it charges at this time your problem is either the regulator, bad ground of the regulator or generator, or bad wires between the generator & regulator. If it still doesn't charge remove the fan belt & the wire from the "F" post on the generator then jump the BAT terminal to the GEN or ARM terminal on the regulator, at this time the generator should start to motor, then with the generator motoring re-connect the wire to the "F" post on the generator & see if the generator slows down (it should), if it doesn't, jump the "F" post of the generator to the frame ground & see if it slows down then. If the generator motors & slows down with the "F: post grounded the generator is probably good & your problem is more than likely in the regulator or wires between the regulator & generator, if it doesn't motor or slow down your problem is likely in the generator. If any question or for further tests post back.
