25hp kohler engine not charging...

[swinny]

Nope. Need to remove both coils then just one bolt holding it onto the crank.

 

Will it be obvious if somethings wrong. Or is it new flywheel? Cheers

Unfortunately it will be very obvious. the magnets will be in pieces and the stator/alternator will be shredded.

Before taking it apart there is a small plug in component which can also stop it charging who h you should swap out first. I. A not remember what it's called but it has 3 wires going to it and when it's broken it won't charge, was a problem I had on my old chipper which had the same engine. I'll have a look a d try to get a picture of the same part on my stump grinder tomorrow

Thats the regulator/rectifier thing i mentioned earlier.

 

it converts the AC current from the alternator in the flywheel to DC and regulates the output.

 

You can test the output from the alternator on the wire that plugs into the regulator. If no output from alternator then take off the flywheel to check the magnets and windings.

 

If there is output from the alternator , but not from the regulator then replace the regulator.
