Working on a Garden Tractor charging system. I am indoors and can only try and run the engine with the doors open. Weather is preventing this right now. When I did get to start this it would only run for a few seconds before shutting down. I noted no + movement on the AMP meter when it did briefly run. I suspect the fuel solenoid not getting power from the regulator. I have several other machines that just use a single in-line diode for battery charging, prompting me to speculate on what the internal configuration of this regulator may be. It is a three terminal unit. The two outside terminals are connected to 28VAC stator, the center terminal Is B+ and the case is ground. I am thinking it may house a bridge rectifier in this configuration. Is there any way to confirm this without de-potting?
PS, I have checked the wire for connectivity back to the battery and it is good, and I have a new regulator on order.
