Charge the battery to 12.75 volts, then check to see if it is charging. System will not charge a flat uncharged battery.
Bad boy revolt not charging

Shouldn’t the higher rpm show a higher voltage output from regulator to battery?

Regularors need the battery to excite them to start charging. 8v should be enough. It does sound like a bad regulator
I have 8.5v across the battery. 10V from the regulator to ground with the engine running WOT. The stator is 32VAC. Any other ideas? It seems the battery is slowly discharging. It started at 9.5v and continues to decline with the motor running.
Also, the ground is good measuring the same voltage from the ground screw to the positive on the battery as it does across the battery.
Update - I put a charged battery in place and everything is not operating perfectly. It seems the regulator needs 12V to produce the continued 12V+ charge. Measuring across the battery at WOT now reads 13.5V+. Thanks for all the help.
So it seems we have an issue again. After two days of starting and running strong, I had to jump the battery to get the mower running this morning. While mowing, it just died and I cannot get it restarted. Nothing works. There is no power at all. Am I looking at a bad starter switch issue?Another satisfied customer. Glad to heat she is running again.
