Well…. That wasn’t it. New Koehler voltage regulator for a pull start unit and it is still outputting 24v at full throttle. 48V ac across the two ac connectors. :/

Well. I think you nailed it (I hope). The previous part I tried was the battery ignition on! I just ordered the pull start version. We will see!

Good call. I confirmed that the wiring harness on the mower’s switch matched the harness associated with the manual start unit (as detailed in the manual)

Here is another piece of info that may help diagnose. The mower has an ignition key switch on the panel but it has been forced to on so it does not require a key. Curious if that may indicate that this mower was once an electric start model…. I’m just not sure if they all came with keys even if...

Voltages at the regulator were not taken with the clutch engaged.

Good through. The housing is metal in this case. I don’t think I have a ground issue but could be wrong. I’ll check again.

Clutch is brand new oem part. It is right at 3ohms resistance which seems to be right in spec according to the mfg.

So I got another new voltage reg off of amazon. Doing the same thing as the previous new regulator. It’s putting out 14v at full throttle then drops out at half throttle to 3v. Other odd thing is the clutch won’t engage even when t he regulator is putting out 14v. I put the original regulator...

Thx for the response. Helpful. I’ll look for the serial number on the motor. I believe the tag was damaged or missing but I’ll look again.

Thx for the response. Serial number is 9080045. there is no battery on the mower and no place for a battery. I have tried to look up pictures of similar units to see if some of them don’t have batteries and it seems like some do not. I also seem to remember that there is a different stator...

There is a cover missing where the starter would go (can see the flywheel) and the top cover was loose. Who know what this thing went through my before I got it. Is it possible to tell from the model number if it originally had an electric starter?

Swz52A-18KH is the model number. Thx for the reply!

Hey everyone. New here. I have a couple dumb new guy questions. - bought a used scag 52 swz with a kohler command pro 18. - what powers the electric clutch? There is no battery on the mower. Is that normal? - the clutch was not working when I got it. It failed the resistance check. I...
