A jumper wire is required for this test.<br />

Make sure key switch is OFF before connecting<br />

jumper wire.<br />

NOTE: Mark or identify the charging indicator wire<br />

in the output harness before disconnecting<br />

the harness from the connector.<br />

CAUTION: If the jumper wire contacts the charging<br />

output wire during the test while the key switch<br />

is ON, the wiring harness could be damaged.<br />

1. Disconnect output harness (3) at WHITE connector<br />

(4), Fig. 44.<br />

2. Attach one end of jumper wire (5) to a good<br />

ground.<br />

3. Attach other end of jumper wire (6) to charge<br />

indicator terminal in harness connector, Fig. 44.<br />

a. Turn key switch to ON position (1).<br />

b. If bulb (2) LIGHTS, charge indicator wiring<br />

system is OK. Replace regulator/rectifier.<br />

c. If bulb DOES NOT LIGHT, replace bulb.<br />

d. If new bulb does not light, the problem is an<br />

OPEN CIRCUIT (broken wire) in the<br />

charging indicator circuit. Refer to typical<br />

wiring diagram.<br />

• SYMPTOM: Charge Indicator Light Stays ON –<br />

Engine Running.<br />

NOTE: Indicator light will remain ON if battery voltage<br />

is below 12 volts.<br />

4. Check indicator light wiring.<br />

a. If wiring is grounded, light will remain ON<br />

when engine is running.<br />

b. If wiring is OK, replace regulator/rectifier.<br />

<br />

Testing Engine Wiring Harness<br />

The engine wiring harness consists of a ground wire<br />

(1) with a diode (4) for each armature (5) and a separate<br />

wire (2) for the carburetor solenoid, Fig. 45. The<br />

engine wiring harness is connected to the wiring harness<br />

provided by the equipment manufacturer. A<br />

raised rib on the polarized connector (3) indicates the<br />

ground side.<br />

See engine wiring harness diagram on the next<br />

page.<br />

<br />

Digital Multimeter #19464 is used for these tests.<br />

In the Diode Test position, the meter will display the<br />

forward voltage drop across the diode(s). If the<br />

voltage drop is less than 0.7 volts, the meter will<br />

BEEP once and display the voltage drop. A<br />

continuous tone indicates CONTINUITY (shorted<br />

diode). An INCOMPLETE CIRCUIT (open diode)<br />

will be displayed as OL.<br />

1. Insert RED test lead into V receptacle in meter.<br />

2. Insert BLACK test lead into COM receptacle in<br />

meter.<br />

3. Rotate selector to +))))) (DIODE TEST) position.<br />

4. Insert RED test lead clip into connector (1)<br />

(BLACK wire), Fig. 46. Leave attached for<br />

remainder of test.<br />

5. Touch BLACK test lead probe to terminal (2).<br />

a. If meter BEEPS once, diode is OK.<br />

b. If meter makes a CONTINUOUS TONE,<br />

diode is shorted. Replace ground harness.<br />

c. If meter displays OL, diode is open. Replace<br />

ground harness.<br />

6. Repeat test for terminal (3). Results must be the<br />

same.<br />
