mrc 724 #1 Posted October 12, 2021 hello all, a friend who is not a member has a raider. the electrical connector at the regulator melted. obviously he needs to figure out what caused it to melt. is there a source for new connectors? or if someone has a wiring harness from a raider i would be interested in purchasing it to help my friend. thank you mike in mass Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,478 #2 Posted October 12, 2021 The terminals are the female version of these. Click on the picture for more A Kohler catalog lists the plastic connector I believe but you will need to know the shape/terminal locations. Added the page to the above file in pdf so it is readable. The biggest reason for overheating is the terminals are too loose or they are corroded. Both cause resistance to current flow which = heat. Clean the corrosion off and apply dielectric silicone grease and it will not happen again. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here is a source for a whole new plug. https://www.ebay.com/itm/REGULATOR-REPAIR-PLUG-HARNNES-3-WIRE-Fits-JOHN-DEERE-TECUMSEH-KOHLER-ENGINES-15A-/272275736584?_ul=IL Not correct but some insolated spade connectors will work just as well.

953 nut 51,464 #4 Posted October 12, 2021 I think the Raider has a "L" shaped three terminal connector. If so you can use this pigtail. Just use the three wires you need and leave the others empty. https://www.ebay.com/itm/112603497038?hash=item1a37b1024e:g:b7wAAOSwYXVYzUCw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
