Husqvarna Riding Mower - Battery Keeps Dying and Won't Charge

A customer brought in their Husqvarna with a 33 cubic inch Briggs and Stratton single cylinder motor. The customer said that the battery would not charge and had to replace a new battery after a month. In this video, I go step by step on how I found out what was wrong and how I fixed it.

Nice video Mark. Based on your recommendation I’m going to go ahead and look for a harmonic balancer puller. Thanks again!

How about the voltage regulator?

[@YeshuaLovesYou7]

I APPRECIATE it 👍

[@mr198924]

looking at my husqvarna to see were things were for future reference and could not find the regulator. now i see it is just a diode wrapped up around the wire. Seen my fuse back by solenoid wrap around the wire and a wire tie keeping in place. Cheap weird factory set up.
Great video that reminded me i need a impact wrench and a ratchet wrench 3/8 for my engine cover. Gas tank gets in the way of back two bolts.

Hi Mark, my 18,5 hp briggs is over charging, I do not see a voltage regulator on this Husqvarna mower. Any ideas?

[@lmsmallenginerepair4471]

on your meter how many volts are going through,and is your battery fully charged

Mark I've been watching your videos for about a year now. I just watched the one about how you got started working on motors and making videos. It looks like you paid the price to learn. LOL. I scanned through the ones I had not watched yet but I don't see one about changing the gear on a starter for a mower. If you have time I would love to see one. Merry Christmas and please keep the videos coming.

[@Shorty4808]

I have seen a video from “Taryl fixes all” that shows how to repair a starter gear. It’s very good. But i agree with you that a video from Mark would be great to see.

Great video Mark. You have some years under your belt.
