Timberwolf problem again

[TREE-SURGEON-ESSEX]

Honda 24hp engine not charging battery think it could be the charge coil any one help ?.

 

Possible price for new charge coil under flywheel hard job or straight forward.

 

any help appreciated:001_smile:

if it's like mine, it could be the recitifer/regulater. On kohler engines its on the side of the engine. I believe this is more common than the stater being a problem.

Right after finding out the price for a new charge coil was £188 omfg, i actually learnt how to use my multimeter properly.

 

instead of dc switched to ac to test the charge coil and got 38.5v hmmm, so next the rectifier looked ok but the connector block looked dirty unclipped it and wiggled the wires to find one pop out very corroded.

 

so look at the pics below and see how i saved money £0.50 worth of iffy electrical skills and yes 14.7v charging the hassel i just saved by actually

looking properly

 

 

 

this is only a temp fix id like a new block anyone know where to get one or a new rectifier if its under £50?.

Glad you got it fixed up ok,electric connections are prone to salt spray & all manner of muck on chippers & trailers.

Thanks mate this cold weathers messed with my electrics all pointed to the rectifier which sits under the chassis splash zone so should have been obvious really but all done till next time lol
