leepster 12 #1 Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) I am working on my 416-h, don't know the exact year, I believe it is 1990. My P216 Onan serial # is D903671722. The tractor is not charging, so I followed a bunch of threads on this sight and when I test for voltage on the 2 wires coming from the stator with the engine running, I get no voltage at all. The one thing I haven't been able to find anywhere is how to change this thing. I am always nervous working on this cause it is difficult to find parts for and it is a vital piece of equipment for me. Does any one have a link or can tell me how to change the stator, or what are things to look for/not break when doing the job? Thanks guys. This is an awesome sight with a lot of great info. UPDATE: Never mind I am an idiot, didn't have my meter set to AC voltage to check the stator! Edited October 25, 2020 by leepster 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, did you have about 30 to 36 volts at high RPMs? Your rectifier/regulator needs to have a 12 volt DC supply to the B+ terminal to work. If you don't have that it could be a bad fuse or fuse holder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I do have power to the regulator, pulled the regulator out and it is still an Onan regulator, My neighbor used to own this tractor and said he had never replied it, so it lasted about 30 years.... not bad. Got a new one on the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
