This is a Toro ZTR with a Kohler commander engine
I've had various issues with it recently from the Repairing a Beater thread.
This time it stopped charging the battery but got back to work after an overnight charge.
I had time for a look at it this morning and trying to check the volt regulator /. Rectifier I have no volts showing across any 2 of the 3 connections. Also infinity if I measure Ohms from any of the connections to the mower frame.
I believed that told me the rectifier was toast, so I have ordered a replacement. But the mower was to be used this morning so off it went with the freshly charged battery.
Ran till lunch no concerns, but when the operator stopped for lunch it would not restart.
Engine spins well but their seems to be no spark, also it has melted a hole in the back of the rectifier connection.
Hopefully when I get the new rectifier it will,solve the no spark problem. Or it's back to checking the coils again.
Thoughts?
