marreque 213 #53 Posted November 6, 2022 Happy Sunday It seems the ACR isn't working......any suggestions???? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,553 #54 Posted November 6, 2022 That's at or near the beginning of acr. Was it originally built with it? Why do you think it isn't working? Turning over hard/very slowly? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marreque 213 #55 Posted November 6, 2022 Very difficult to turn over, I actually have to help it by turning the crank by hand 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marreque 213 #56 Posted November 6, 2022 Is there anything that can be do to help it? I pulled the cam cover and I don't see any sign of a ACR. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has the starter generator been rebuilt? Are ALL the wiring connections in very good clean condition? In particular the battery cables.. Is the battery good and strong? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marreque 213 #58 Posted November 6, 2022 All new wires and cables, the starter/generator has not been touched. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,553 #59 Posted November 7, 2022 Might be time to address the S/G. Isavetractors YouTube channel has a very good rebuild tutorial on them. Any chance you have a spare S/G to swap in? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,280 #60 Posted November 7, 2022 Is the belt from the S/G to the engine a notched raw rubber edge belt, it not it will not deliver as much power to turn over the engine. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure about the belt, I'll take a look and replace it with a notched one. I'll assume the picture is the correct one from Napa or for reference purposes only?? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,280 #63 Posted November 7, 2022 Yes, that is the correct belt for 10 to 14 HP S?G Kohler engines. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marreque 213 #71 Posted November 27, 2022 Came up on a box of parts today. Had the factory throttle lever in it with the white knob and what I believe may be the Gen light... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is your generator light, large terminal goes to the starter button on the post that feeds the S/G "A" post , the other wire goes to the key switch post that goes to the ignition coil. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marreque 213 #74 Posted April 10, 2023 Update and a thanks for the help guys. Finally got some time to work on the 1054 today. Taking 953 nuts advice I purchased the correct s/g belt and also rebuilt the s/g. It cranks over much easier now and she fired right up. I took it for a ride for the first time since 96-97. Everything seems fine except full throttle is definitely not full throttle. Any help or ideas would be great as always!!! 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
