Possible charging coil under the flywheel issue, or with the retifier, there is a tool called a negative shunt, this will quickly tell you if there is any charge to the battary from the engine

On almost any engine you pull the flywheel and you will see the charging coil. Once out it can be tested by yourself or any competent electrician. Good luck. donnyb60

SOURCE: blowing fuses

try unplugging the pto, starting the mower and then engaging the blades. If it still blows a fuse the problem lies in the mowers wiring. If not the problem is the pto. Hope this helps

SOURCE: Mower Runs briefly then cuts out and wont restart.

These ride-ons have a cut out solinoid under the carby that when there is no power or the ign is cut it will drive a little pin into the main jet to prevent flooding, id say this is why your mower runs for 20 and stops...

There is a few reasons this could be occuring:

#1First I would be checking the battery see if its dropped a cell or has a dead cell, you can do this by load testing it with a load tester or removing it and taking it into a battery specialist. if this is the case the battery will not accept a charge from the charging circuit...

#2 Check your wiring with a multimeter from the armature under the flywheel all the way back to your battery (also these models may have a regulator/rectifier that can be tested they have test values and can be checked by your local small engine repaier)

#3 If all your wiring is ok then you will have a problem with your armature this is located under the flywheel on your engine it has two seperate windings one for the charging of your battery and the other powers your headlights / elec magnetic clutch, the one for the charging will be unservicable these can be diffucult to access and test and is probably best done at your local small engine repair shop...

Hope this helps you out

Kind Regards
Brad

Huskee 21.0 hp 46cut won't start. Battery is charged. Carburetor has been cleaned. Appreciate any suggestions?

i keep mine on a float charger or even 1 year later it fails
do not leave battery just sit or it sulphates bad.
you mean the starter motor is dead, and no carburetors do not stop dead stater motors.
head lamps must work first. shows the battery may be good
and the engine starter used 10x more current that lamps.

load test the battery ,see it is BAD. abused the fail every year.
abused. (lead/acid class all do that)
chargers lie to you , making you think one is smart, no they are not.
(unless I designed one)<grin. (a(built in smart load tester)
load testing is poof of the pudding. on car and anything on earth with batteries.

Does my 1979 johnson outboard charge the battery thru the powerpack?

Some models charged through a Magneto, but see if you can find the 1979 Year Manual. I have a 1979 engine myself in a 15Hp which is a Manual start(no battery) and I have a Sailhorse Johnson 8HP which has an electric port and is Manual start. I believe the 8HP would charge a battery as on a Sailboat the running lights needed power. The 8HP could power the lights directly.

Johnson offered options for electric start in lower HP units and options in charging systems to contain costs. You might get a better answer from someone by listing the HP of your motor. I was the original owner of the 15HP and remember the 9.9HP and others in the same Sales brochure. The Sales brochure may advertise more about the charging systems.

My husqvarna 42 inch cut rideing mower will only run with the choke on i have replaced the plugs fuel filter and the battery any ideas.

My guess would be that the crappy ethanol fuel we are forced to buy has clogged the jets in the carb. A good cleaning should fix you up.

I have fits with this fuel messing up my lawn equipment and my motorcycles.

Hot battery,will not turn engine every time,keep bumping key and will start turning engine seems like trying to start with too much compresion

If your unit has OHV engine you need to check the intake and exhaust valve gap. Call your local repair shop to get numbers and check this website out. Go to smalleng.com they have a video for just what you are looking for. Good Luck...
