Honda GX620

[Robert_S]

Hi guys

 

ive got the GX620 honda engine in a camon chipper and it has stopped charging the battery i purchased a new battery ( thinking it was goosed) but only lasted a day and dead.

Does anyone know what charges the battery on these engines as there does not seem to be a alternator/dynamo system.

 

Thanks in advance for any replies.

not sure but looks from the pictures on google that it may charge from the fly wheel

its prob got a built in charger inside the electronic ign system inside the flywheel

Before you spend money the engine check the charging circuit for continuity. It can be something as simple as a blown bulb.

Check all fuses and connections.

 

make sure the terminals aint corroded etc.

 

there bomb proof so i woulf have thought the above more then a broken charging unit.

I have the same chipper,just looked through the parts diagram but could,nt find anything.Try calling Tracmaster on 0870 224 0369,they are very helpfull.

as the earlier post if the battery light is not working the unit will not charge it relies on resistance to charge same as a car system

I just had to remove my engine all fine till today could not start low battery i have connected the wires wrong i just guessed all started every thing worked but today three days later no start its the 670 engine any one have any ideas or pics of there wires please.

The regulator / rectifier is just below the ign switch if the engine has the ign switch attached to it. Photo is of TW125 with the same engine. The unit corrodes badly on the back and the terminals break. The unit is of poor quality new and only just provides enough power to charge the battery. Honda part number H31710-ZJ1-812. Call if you need any more help.

Hi mate,

 

I have a different one its alot bigger and bolted to the underside of the chipper.

 

It starts fine just tried it with battery charged from home. And its been fine for years just when i changed the engine out i put it back 90% correct i think i mixed the charge wire up i could really do with a pic of where the wires from the engine connect up if you have one.
