i am working on a friends craftsman mower with a 19 horse briggs twin on it, i am not sure of the mower model . but it doesnt have the electric pto. the
battery will not stay charged. it was dead when he brought the mower to me, i charged it and fired up the mower, at idle it is show about 12.7 volts at the
battery with my voltmeter. this number doesnt change when i speed up the engine, if i let it sit and run, the voltage seems to slowly go down.does this sound
like a stator problem ? and does this engine have a rectifier ? also what is a good way to diagnose a charging problem ?
thanks
thanks
