Hello,
I posted this in small engine forum and had so many different things going on I couldn稚 exactly describe what the heck was happening. Craftsman 48" 24 HP started out by having to charge battery about every second mowing. Approx. 2 acres. Then one day the clutch just quit. I turned off the pto switch and I could run it a little while and then turn the pto back on and clutch would run 10-20 minutes and the clutch would quit. I pushed and pulled the pto switch so much it just broke. Got another and put it on, and great it worked fine, mowed all 2 acres. Next time I went to mow the clutch quit after 20 minutes. I checked the wires to the clutch and could not get 12 volts on the meter. I put my own 12 volt switch directly from battery to clutch. Mowed about 20 minutes, quit again. At this point I知 guessing stater/alternator. With a fully charged good battery it showed 12.65 volts. Cranked motor, full RPM and it read 17.12 volts. I thought this ruled out stater/alternator but now am thinking this was too high and shows it痴 bad because now I can not get it to show anything over 12.5 volts running or not. I知 thinking it痴 bad and want to replace it but I知 wondering why I couldn稚 get 12 volts at the clutch with good battery, not running. Yes I had weight on seat, pto pulled out, key on, brake locked. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
