Are you saying check the dc volts at the purple wire when the engine is not running, and the key switch is in the on position?

33.5 on the white wires

I don't know where to find the stator or the regulator. Is the regulator a silver cylinder on the left side of the engine that the positive battery cable attaches too?

Voltage regulator bad possibly?

Did not leave the key on. I did jump it and it ran fine but did not charge the battery.

2005 Dixie Chopper Silver Eagle with Koehler motor. I bought a brand new battery and started right up and mowed. Next time I ran it battery was dead. I hooked the battery to a charger and the charger clicks on and off like there is a short. Any ideas what the problem is?
