As stated the wires coming off of regulator are getting way too hot and melting the Plug. I disconnected the plug and ran the engine and within seconds they were piping hot. I hooked up a known good battery and mowed the yard yesterday. When I woke up I went to move it and the battery was dead. I'm thinking its he key/switch after doing some research but wanted to know if anyone had a similar experience and or solution. Thanks in advance for the help. If I figure it out soon I'll post the solution. Thanks Bryan
 
Well you likely have a short somewhere, but you are going to put up some model numbers for any decent advice......
