RED-Z06 2,221 #1 Posted January 9 I know theres 3 terminals, one is 12v battery feed, one is Field coil to the generator...and it grounds to the mount...with the 3rd terminal being an accessory feed. My regulator has the 3 terminals, unmarked...the only terminal with a wire on it appears to bridge across the bottom to the ground. Then theres a 4th terminal under the reg with a wire, i dont know what it does. The 4th terminal has me confused, and the terminal that seems to connect by a little wire covered pipe to ground.

pfrederi 17,743 #2 Posted January 9 Terminal on the bottom goes to the A terminal on the Genny. (It was a Kohler part number doesn't show on WH wire diagrams) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,743 #6 Posted January 9 Cranking power comes from the ignition switch directly to the Genny A terminal. When running the A terminal feeds electricity to the regulator and through it to the battery. The amount generated is controlled by the regulator varying the field ground. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So i still need to add a Battery wire off the center terminal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,853 #8 Posted January 9 Not to get it to start. Center term is charge to the battery. If you take a set of jumper cables and connect from a battery to ground and A with no regulator the starter will spin. Wont charge but will spin. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Huh...then the shop that wired my 702 in 2003 did it wrong and that's likely why it never charged, they had a wire from F to F on gen, and 12v to Bat on Reg only. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gotcha, ill make a Bat wire in the morning and get the new points/cond/coil on...then see if itll run. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 17,023 #17 Posted January 10 There are also point contacts inside of the regulator. They don't seem to oxidize as fast as ignition points do for some reason but I've needed to clean some for the regulator to work. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
