I have a 18 HP (M/N 422447 Type 1216 01 Code 90121132) Briggs & Stratton engine on a Grasshopper riding mower with a charging system issue. Note that this stator is the single-wire version. I had to replace the diode in the harness due to damage. Got one from a local B&S dealer that lasted a couple weeks. Went to another more reputable dealer for another...same result. They seem to rectify the AC voltage (~28 vAC) to ~14 vDC current for a short time and then the meter readings are jumping all over the place. I've had it with the diode system! Can someone tell me if I can put a regulator rectifier in the system in place of the diode? If so, what is the P/N for the regulator rectifier? FYI, I ordered from Amazon what I thought would be the correct unit but it is for a 2-wire stator, so I don't think I can make this work without burning something up!
