Thread: Does anyone know how many volts a 14 hp Kawasaki engines puts out prior to going into

the regulator? I know the regulator is supposed to put out 12 volts I'm only getting three! So I either have a regulator/rectifier problem or the mags in my engine are bad.
There is no battery! The power comes straight off the engine to the regulator/rectifier. Then distibutes throughout the Lawn mower.

You should be getting around 14/15 volts ac going to the rectifier. Also, you need more than 12 volts dc coming out of the rectifier to properly charge a 12volt battery.
