Briggs & Straton stator

[clovergamecock]

I have a 22hp OHV B&S engine on my 2005 Husqvarna lawn tractor. The battery stopped charging but it is a good battery and holds a charge when charged. I tested the volts on each side of the 2 wires coming out of the stator. I got a reading on the AC but barely anything on the DC. Does this indicate a badd stator? I pulled the flywheel and cleaned the stator contacts and am about to put it back together and try again. Is there a way to bench test a stator? If it is not the stator what else could it be? I can cut my whole yard as long as I charge the battery first so the coil packs are fine.

Ideas??
Thanks
Wade

To further assist you on your issues, could you please post the model number info for the engine, as well as the colors of the wires and the plug, or a picture of the stator plug.

The ignition modules don't use battery power to operate. the only thing that should be using power would be the fuel solenoid, and an electric clutch if your mower has one.

If you have an electric PTO clutch for the deck, it has a dual system in it.
Put a volt meter on the battery and record voltage, start unit and see if voltage increases. If it does unit is charging.
If you have an electric PTO clutch, you may be running off of the battery if there is no output for the PTO clutch from the system. As Randyt said, need more info on unit
