My 2006 Turf Tiger 61" with Kawasaki 29HP has a charging/voltage problem.
When the battery is fully charged it reads 13v with key off. When the key is in the 'On" position, the reading drops to 12.53v. When started and running, the voltage drops to 12.38 and when the PTO is engaged, I can watch the voltage drop steadily from 12.28, .27, .26, 25, etc. Eventually the battery goes dead and needs to be jumped. This discharge process can take 1-2 hours of mowing.
I've recently replaced the starter, which was blowing fuses, and also replaced the voltage regulator.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
