    Briggs and Stratton throttle adjustment

    I have a briggs and stratton 13.5 hp engine (XR model). I removed the throttle control cable and would like to control the throttle with the lever mounted on the engine. Every time I try and move the lever to full throttle, the lever returns to low throttle. Is it the springs attached that it...

    Charging System Problem.

    I still wonder about that voltage regulator working correctly though, for when I turn on the cooling fan and the voltage drops to 11.8 volts and I shut it off, the voltage appears to remain around the 11.8 to 12 volt range, but when I turn on the lights, my voltage goes back up to the 13 to 13.5...

    Charging System Problem.

    I have been thinking the same thing as well. However, all was working fine until just recently. I believe the cooling fan is what is affecting the load. When I run the the engine (full throttle) I have the 13.5 volts. When I turn on the cooling fan, voltage drops to about 11.8 volts. When I turn...

    Charging System Problem.

    I ran a test wire from the B+ terminal of the voltage regulator to the positive post of the battery. On the multimeter, I was reading 13.5 volts. I assume the regulator is working to be getting that reading, when I was just getting 12.4 to 12.5 before. I want to suspect my problem is in the...

    Charging System Problem.

    And yes, the 13-14 volts I am reading is fron the B+ wire coming out of the voltage regulator. Thanks StarTech!

    And yes, the 13-14 dc volts I am reading is from the B+ wire coming out of the voltage regulator. Thanks.

    Charging System Problem.

    Thanks Ilengine for the response. I'll try your recommendations. I've been reading some of your replies to folks having similar charging issues and you have provided me valuable information on testing the charging system. You mentioned in one of your replies about an ammeter in the circuit that...

    Charging System Problem.

    I have an issue with my Rato 670cc engine charging my battery. Its a new battery, but will not hold a charge. At full throttle, when I test the wire plug from the voltage regulator, it shows 13 to 14 volts. When I test the wire plug to the battery it shows 12.1 volts. When I connect the two plug...
