snowhound 103 #1 Posted January 13, 2011 Cleared about 18 inches of snow with the 88 416-8 with snow blower, first time using a blower. Did a great job had a real good time.. Did have one problem. After running for about 45 min. I shut down to move my truck and when I went to restart the battery was almost dead. I put the charger on for a half hour and got it started, the meter read 14v. with lights off and about 12 with lights on. I ran for about 15 min. and checked the meter again and it was reading 8v with lights on a 12 with lights off. The meter I'm talking about is the one on the dash. I don't undrstand why the output dropped. All readings were taken with throttle wide open. Ed (Snowhound) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boatman 3 #3 Posted January 13, 2011 :banghead: Snowhound, I would go through and ck all your battery connections as well as rectifier connections. Sounds like there might be a bad connection somewhere if it is ok part of time and not part of the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
