Yup. I thought the same and wondered what is the cutoff voltage for overcharging that would kill a battery because the OP is thinking >15V is killing their battery. Those of us who have equalizer battery tenders can get to >15V when in cold temps. A battery that occasionally gets above 15V...

Found a decent vid to share for those of us who need visuals. (Too many words in this thread :) This guy is troubleshooting a no-charge not an overcharge but he's got an Intek with dual circuit. It's a nice walk through of how B&S setup the electrical system on these, and where to test.

Yea that's how I read the beginning of this thread. Mmhmm. Herr Otto was from the late 1800s if I remember right. Plenty of folks back then thought the Black Belching Beasts of ICE were a terrible idea. Like farmers with draft ox/horse. So to hate on electric just because it's new is silly...

Great! I hope my local Simplicity dealer has a yunkyard too :) Thx for updating.

My new-to-me 44" also didn't come with the baffles, so when I look at the deck at ground level, the blades "stick out" below the deck bottom edge. Checking pictures of used ones online, a lot of decks don't have the baffles but a few still do. My guess is an original owner or a dealer removed...

If oil swap doesn't work, the trans seal kit job isn't all that bad. I just did it on my K66. My Conquest would stop on tight turns -- it couldn't make the turns -- and I suspected the hydro pump in the trans was just getting starved. After the kit job, all is working again. The seal kit...

Hi, What are differences between Simplicity Prestige versus Conquest? I'm looking used and wanting to factor in price gap. Test drove a 2009 Prestige and was very impressed! Found a 2010 Conquest for about $1,000 less. Both come with snowblower but Prestige has a soft cab, weights, and...
