Kohler makes about twenty different 18hp engine, which one do you have. Not all charging systems are the same. Without engine model numbers it is very difficult to answer. With them I might be able to get you a service manual.

Thank you so much,i will check the next time i get the chance could not get the other manual to down load.I put this 18Hp kohler on a toro z5000 zero turn with no lights, but it came off of a craftsman mower with lights,would that make a difference on whether it charged or not.
