C-105 ammeter bounce

I dot think the rectifier is hooked up right. The lead from the amp meter to the rectifier should be the center one. The stater behind the flywheel makes a AC signal output and the rectifier changes it from AC to DC and only uses the positive side of the signal. With what I see on the video, the wires on the rectifier must be crossed or there is a bad ground for the rectifier.

The ammeter has bounced about since we first started it. the only thing which looked dodgy was the rectifier was badly corroded and was pushing the resin out. nothing else had been touched on the wiring and it all looked original. i then found one segment of the stator was burnt out. this was repaired with epoxy and the correct guage wire and appears to be ok. thought repairing that and replacing the rectifier would cure it and the wiring loom is brand new too. only thing i havent tried is swapping the ammeter which i might try tommorow, unless its too cold!

Thanks for that JamesBe1.

Tested that and pretty certain its the guage. Got voltmeter on order now anyway. Cheers, Ian.

      The stator and flywheel on this engine are different than others I have worked on so far. The stator is smaller in diameter and has a wire that runs out to a part that looks like an ignition coil but has no plug wire. I am wondering what it is and how do I wire it?
       
      I'm not 100% positive that I put it back in the same spot it came but I think I did. I gapped it at .020" from the bump that sticks out on the flywheel, it is magnetized.

      My wheelhorse 314-8 won't charge the battery while its running, it used to but now it doesnt. The wiring is stock as it came from factory. Runs good, just have to jump/charge It every time

      Hi, I  have a 1998 , toro /wh 520 xi. Has a Kohler 20 HP,  445 hours, recently, the battery light comes up  on the dash,while mowing after a hour of mowing, battery is completely drained, and will not start tractor without a jump start. 
      1) i replaced old batt with new battery
      2)cleaned connections
      3) same issue,with dis charging, with new battery install

      voltage check  at battery not running = 13.36v
      voltage check with engine running  half throttle = 12.1   and the longer the eng runs the lower the volts drop,light on dash comes on, and if i mow,battery is dead in 1 hour. 

      Any ideas what i can check or do? Thanks jim

      Hey all I'm a new member in SLC.  I ran my 416-8 tractor in a parade, and had a power inverter hooked to the battery to power a smoke machine.  It worked at first but quit working part way through.  Now the battery doesn't charge.  it runs just fine because I have it hooked to a battery tender in-between uses.  But I want to fix it. Would you start with the inverter, regulator or somewhere else,  and how would you test these?  I do have a volt meter.   Any suggestions on where to start are appreciated. 
       
      Thanks,
