1641 starting issues / AMP light
First, I have searched the sight and have fixed MANY problems in the past. Thanks to all those that have made that possible!
My 1641 starts fine when I first start it up to cut the grass. When I take a 15 minute break the thing will not start back up for at least an hour. It only turns over and over and over. Not starting until it cools down?!?!? Any suggestions on what is causing this?
Also, I noticed that the AMP light came on (started flickering on) when I turned the PTO on to cut the grass. It got dark and I turned the lights on and the motor bogged down and the AMP light was much brighter. My plan of action is to take a look at the voltage regulator (once I find it) and then see how much power is going to the regulator to see if the issue is the alternator. Any other suggestions? Oh yeah, 12.4 volts with the PTO off and with it on at the battery so it doesn't seem that the PTO is shorting out. Thanks, Fishengineer
