Re: Starter problem?

Ok--I removed the starter/gen and cleaned out the black dust and replaced the bushes AND bought a new battery. When I got everything back together and started it up and revved up the engine I noticed that there was battery acid coming out of the overflow vent (it is a maintenance free battery). So I got out my volt meter to check the charging voltage--it was close to 18 volts. I assume that 18 volts is too high and I need a new regulator????? Thoughts please! |

Starter problem?
Yes too high. Should be around 14.5 if I recall.
Check the grounds of the voltage regulator. I chased that problem around and around. I replaced three regulators. Turned out the ground for the regulator itself was not grounded good enough. I solved it by grounding the regulator directly to the battery. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Starter problem?
Mine does exactly the same thing. I’m thinking battery because after I charge it, it seems to work ‘better’ for a day or two but eventually goes back to delay. Mine has been this way for years. Battery is not that old.

Re: Starter problem?
Just checked battery voltage. 12.5 then down to 9.4 when engaging the starter.
