Export threadI hunt in Jefferson Co., have family in Gibson. Not thrilled about the call in system. Going bow hunting this weekend.
I've got a feeling my charging system ain't working properly. I had to get a new multi-meter this evening and got home too late to mess with the mower.
I've got a new battery. The other day it measured about 12.5 v with mower off and the same running, full throttle. When I pulled PTO switch the clutch seemed to work fine several times.
Earlier today I cranked it, pulled PTO switch and the motor bogged. I was gonna check voltage again and that's when my Radio Shack meter took a dump. But I've seen somebody said if it's
not charging and battery is low the PTO will take all the power and kill motor. It should show 13 or 14 v when running, true? I'll check it in the morning. Might need some far away wisdom on troubleshooting
the charging system.
I checked it this mrng. I've got 12.3 v on battery, running is the same. I got about 29 v ac on the two yellows on voltage regulator and 12.3 v dc on the red wire. Is that either bad diode or stator? Pulling PTO switch still
kills motor. Thanks for the help.

Your rectifryer is either fried or has a bad ground.
The PTO puts a big load on the battery but the engine has a magneto which is battery independant.
However when the voltage drops below 9 to 10 Volts the carby solenoid cuts off the fuel.
