meck Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 This morning, my Simplicity B-10 with the combination starter/generator blew the fuse. When I started checking, I found that I had heavy sparking and fuse blowing any time I tried to connect the battery. When I disconnected the two wires from the starter/generator to the regulator, there was no sparking when I connected the battery, and the starter cranked okay. When I check the two posts on the starter/generator, I'm getting continuity between the two which I think I shouldn't be getting. Since I've never worked on one of these, before I tear into this one, I was wondering if someone with experience with them can give me a hint as to where I might find the problem. Thanks.

BLT Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Blowing fuses is linked to a highly overdrawn or short circuits as in bare wire. I would look for a bare wire rubbing somewhere for starts. You can do that with an ohmeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meck Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 Thanks for the response. I just noticed that I called the tractor a Simplicity. It is an AC B-10, not that it makes a difference for the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
