I’m going to check the resistance of stator as per manual but I think it is okay since it puts out 32 VAC. I will order a new regulator. As per the manual wiring diagram, I think I’m okay to wire directly back to the battery rather than key switch but may put a toggle switch in for an off...

Thanks for the manuals Rivets, I will see if they help. The thing is I have ripped all the old wiring out because of too many safety switches, relays etc. I’ve wired a push button switch to crank the engine and put toggle switches on fuel solenoid and coil ground. Thanks for your input...

This is the rectifier/regulator I removed. It was not the original.

The engine is an FH580V Kawasaki V-twin 19hp. It is on an old New Holland MZ19 zero mower.

Is the rectifier my problem? I measure 32v AC from stator and 18v DC from rectifier/regulator. I have wired directly back to battery with 20 amp in-line fuse that blows.
