Howdy
I have an old tractor that has been repowered with a Tecumseh HM100 10HP with Electric start. As it stands the charging system is not hooked up at all and the motor is just hooked straight to the start button/battery. No key switch or solenoid, just a direct 12v tractor starter button. There is a plug coming off the side of the engine with a red and green wire. Im getting 30V AC when I connect the multi-meter to it. 1.2V DC. so I'm assuming it has the stator and capability to charge. What am I going to need to be able to get a charging system to the battery and be able to run lights accessories etc. When I pull the pull start cover off it the wires are coming off what appears to be a rectifier (little thin rectangular block with 2 spade connections on it)...so Im confused by the AC reading. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
