Testing charging system
 

So I want to make sure the charging system is working properly on my 101 I bought how do I test the generator and the voltage regulator when I got it the battery was dead and they said it won't hold a charge so I put a new one in but want to make sure all is working correctly

Check the voltage on the battery, it should be somewhere around 12v. Then check the battery with the tractor at full throttle, it should be around 13.5v.

What if it's 13 but jumping between 13.4 and 13.6

Looks good...........

I would consider that good enough for the girl I go with.:biggrin2:

whats the next step if you are not getting that voltage, what do you test to determine gen/starter or regulator?

Here is the test for S/G..... http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...hp?p=18#post18

Thanks that's super helpful. I didn't know that existed! Now I just have to run my tractor long enough for my gauge to read not charging and do the test!

Thanks
 

Thanks Roland for posting this. I have searched for this but was unable to find it.
