I’ve taken the carbs off the 2 engines to clean, also found a K141 but. That wouldn’t start either so i removed the carb to find a stuck inlet valve also found the carbs knacked. . I then went and sat indoors with a cuppa and made some gaskets,

I was just about to have you box it up and send it here so I could get it apart .

That bit is Nigel, but it was still not charging. So I decided to have a look at the stator. Took off the engine cover etc. Undoing the screws holding the screen on, strange noises emanated from behind the flywheel. No need to guess what was making them. Removing the fly wheel revealed a sorry stator and magnets in a right state. If you'll pardon the pun. Bit of a mess and no wonder it wasn't charging. All is not lost though. A Raider 10 engine I rebuilt a while ago, has donated it's flywheel and stator. Tomorrow I'll reassemble things and hopefully all will be well.

Nice set of hole punches, Chris. Dinning table got lots of little ringed grooves in it now?

Thank you. Those dimensions are spot on. I will give Bearing Boys a ring on Monday. AS

I actually have to work for a living. 7 days a week and about 70 + hours. Just got home and still have a couple hours of quotes, emails, paperwork and phone calls. I pop in here to keep an eye on you guys in between calls and emails.

Suggest that you disconnect the red wire from the solenoid terminal that points toward the rear of the tractor. Make sure that it doesn’t touch earth just in case it’s live - it shouldn’t be. Set the multimeter to volts and ensuring that the ignition switch is off with the key removed, check for a reading - there should not be. Turn the key to On , there should still be no reading. Turn the key to Start and there should be battery voltage. Release the key and the voltage should disappear . Go between On and Start several times and make sure that the voltage always disappears when the key is released. If all the above are ok it is probably ok to assume that all is well. However if voltage does not disappear when the key is released I would suspect the ignition switch or a wiring fault. Remove the earth cable from the battery and then all cables from the solenoid. Set the meter to Continuity and check between the two heavy terminals there should be no continuity. If there is it is possible that there is a mechanical fault within the solenoid but your substitution should have already eliminated that.

Thought that green K91 looked familiar !

Recently bought this unique and rare O&R tool. Beacon Star lapidary saw used for cutting rocks or stone out in the field. It's been gone through and cleaned.
