10hp kohler draining battery while running
i have 10 hp kohler engine (the engine was probably made in the mid
70's) that seems to drain the battery when the engine is running. i replaced the rectifier but am not sure if that has fixed the problem. any ideas? i orginally replaced the battery, but quickly found that was not the problem. -david |

check the following
1 is there AC voltage output from the stator into the recifier? if yes 2 double check you have DC voltage comming out of the rectidfier if yes 3check to see if their is a complete circuit from the rectifier to the battery all of these test you can do with a multimeter just find out where the power stops Hope that helps |

10hp kohler draining battery while running
About the only way to tell is to run it & see if the battery goes down. If
you had the right equipment you could put an ammeter in series with the battery & see if it is charging.

I would probably have a second-hand rectifier in stock at about £18 + VAT. Chester Hudson 07836 210363.
