Figure 11a-22 Charge Coil Test (At Voltage Regulator
TEST PROCEDURE 14 – VOLTAGE REGULATOR
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
NOTE: Keep the battery connected during this test procedure.
1. Turn the key switch OFF. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in NEUTRAL. Chock the wheels.
2. Ensure that the wires are connected correctly and are tight. If they are not, rewire or tighten as necessary.
3. Check the engine RPM setting to ensure that it is adjusted correctly. See Engine RPM Adjustment,
Section 13a, Page 13a-22.
4. With the battery in good condition and fully charged, run the engine for several minutes to bring the volt-
age regulator to operating temperature.
5. Set the multimeter for 20 VDC.
6. With the engine running at full-governed RPM, measure the battery voltage at the battery posts. If the
reading is between 14.0 and 15.0 volts, the regulator is good. If the reading is lower than 14.0 volts but
rising steadily, check the battery condition. See Test Procedure 1 – Battery on page 11a-9.
7. If the reading is less than 14.0 volts and not rising, check the charge coil. See Test Procedure 13 –
Charge Coil on page 11a-25. Also check for a loose connection at the voltage regulator 3-pin connector
and check the continuity of each wire in the voltage regulator 3-pin connector.
8. If the reading is more than 15.0 volts and continues to rise, replace voltage regulator. See Voltage Reg-
ulator Removal on page 12a-4.
TEST PROCEDURE 15 – IGNITION SPARK
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
NOTE: Keep the battery connected during this test procedure.
1. Turn the key switch OFF. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in NEUTRAL. Chock the wheels.
2. Remove the spark plug wire from one of the spark plugs.
3. Use an ignition spark gap test tool (Thexton 404 or equivalent) to check for correct spark.
