| Did you check the output from the stator before you threw parts at it? It appears that machine has a Briggs Vanguard? Typical alternator outputs would be either 28 or 40 volts AC MINIMUM. (don't know which system you have)
Regulator disconnected and HIGH engine speed. Hopefully a bad stator didn't "fry" your new VR. |

| I did not do any testing.so how do I test stator |

| I checked ac volts from stator 25 volts and checked red output lead to ground 8 volts dc. I have 3 wire regulator |

| Stator fails the test. Minimum means ..... |

21 I'd suggest going to the Briggs website and getting the IPL for your exact engine. It'll have exploded views + the correct part numbers.
You'll need Model & Type-
Something like-

I had assumed it was a Briggs from this link-

e&Model=GT235 If it's a KAW, don't believe anything I said.
I don't know what the stator output for those are. |

| thanks ,i will let you know how it goes |

| had a chance to work on mower, service man at deere place said to use a quality meter to measure volts so with a fluke meter ,with battery light on ac output is 31 volts from stator .output on red lead is 8.5 volts dc ( sometimes reading is 12 volts dc . both readings with full throttle .battery volts is 12.5 full trottle and when mower is off . the red light comes on if either the head lights are on or the pto is engaged .mower will run for whole grass cutting ,1 hour .when finished cutting i turn pto off and after approx. 15 seconds the light turns off |

| I installed new regulator ,could new one be bad ? I checked continuity from two ac side wires to ground and they are open . They are open to each other and on diode test to red lead they both read one way only .Red lead is open to regulator case . Maybe under load something inside regulator is not working properly ? |
RE: Gt235 battery

| Thanks everyone for your help .After cleaning connections to just about everything and testing electrical and continuity readings everything checked out ok although I could not test the electric board . I decided to purchase a second regulator and installed it .First regulator must have been bad . Problem fixed . |
