13.5 hp wiring for battery charge

[ba_50]

We couldn't find a wiring diagram so here goes. Need to make sure it is charging. There is a lose red wire coming from up. Around the flywheel and one unknown plug. How is the wiring setup for a low oil alarm? Thanks.

Looks like someone has already hacking at the wiring. IPL says it has a dual circuit alternator stator so it will first need to be restored to the normal wiring then the red lead with the diode would be connected via one of three ways to recharge the battery.

1. via the ignition switch
2. via the starter solenoid
3. 0r via direct wire to the battery.

That looks like wires coming from the charging stator. That model has 3 different stators but, that looks like the Dual Circuit stator. It has DC volts going to the battery to charge it and has AC volts going to the headlights. They are notorious for over charging the battery though, that's why someone has disconnected the red wire, going to the battery....to try to keep from overcharging it.

If overcharging is a problem it is easy to add a voltage regulator but of course many users are too cheap to add one. The meters in the last diagrams are just for current and voltage tests.

So are you saying a wire with a diode needs to go from the red wire to the battery?

Who knows what has been chopped up and rewired, even under the engine shroud, so use a OHM meter to test the output of the wires coming down out of the shroud and use the chart StarTech posted in #5 to know what wires goes where.

It has never been rewired. Not sure how that happened. Only one red wire.

There is a black and red wire coming from the stator. If it was cut on purpose because of overcharging, does that mean it should be charging without them connected?

The stator wiring has been hacked. No diode so the red was connected it quickly burn out the stator; along with frying other parts and wiring too. The dual stator wiring harness needs replacing before you even try to reconnect the system.

I have one of these dual circuit stators at the shop, i'll be back at the shop Monday and I'll look at it and see what color wires are where.
