Question
Wiring Diagram
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.
The magnetic clutch for engaging the blades on my Toro walk-behind mower (model 30116, serial # 50328) has failed twice. The second time after only about 25 hours of usage (personal use only). I am not the original owner and a different engine was installed (Kawasaki FB460V-ES03). I drew a wiring diagram (attached).
After reviewing various documents, I think the problem is high voltage. Is there any way to reduce the voltage going into the PTO?
I have a "regulator-volt (6c)" (Kawasaki 21066-2004) for the FC420V engine, but it has six pins. I suspect it is a regulator and rectifier. If I knew what each pin was, perhaps I could replace my current rectifier.
I also has a fuse which I will insert upstream of the PTO.
I look forward to your reply. Thanks again.
AnswerYou could add an old Dodge ballast resistor but I don't know if this would help. Way too much power at the clutch based on your drawing. My bet is you are connecting to the unregulated stator output.
Does this link help?
