Good job Taryl I've been working on mowers for 40 yrs I think we're a dying breed Most young guys if they didn't have Google they be lost. If they had use microfich cards. Game over.
I have this problem a mont ago a replace that battery and today again but I haven’t done anything I wonder if is my voltaje regulator or my alternator start or on my Ezmark whit 22 hp kholer engine
huge help! replaced my stator and the magnets came out with it. Put it all together not knowing why it still wasn't charging the battery. I came across your video and tore it back down and glued them in. thankfully they were not broke. very entertaining too! keep doing what your doing.
I love the fact that you are a mechanical genius. That is something that I not only didn't know existed, but had no clue how to approach. I owe you'n's a beer for this one for real. Thanks for the videos, cheers!!
My Kohler was weak on power for over a year. I found your videos and felt that WE could fix it lol. My magnets were pulverized , I found a used fly wheel, stator, and coils and thanks to you...I was mowing with power in about two hours. Just wanted to say thank you... getting 47 AC from OUR repair!.... and about 13.5 at battery
I just stumbled onto this guy and he is extremely knowledgeable as well as hilarious. And I know humor, because I used to write jokes for Conan O'brian. Never did get around to sending them to him, though!
You guys rock!!!!! After having charging issues for years, I found this video and it answered all my questions and fixed the charging issue!! Thanks for making the videos.
Taryl and crew - thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. I am an industrial electrician/maint tech and I share what I learned over 30+ years with anyone who is interested. Knowledge is essential and it needs to be shared, not hoarded. I dig your mechanical and comedy vids boy. Keep up the great work boy. And I hope to see Vic and his boss (oops, forgot his name) alot more. How about Jr doing some videos - shop stuff, drums, whatever he builds. You guys ROCK. Thank you boy.
I found out it was a lot of dirt and balled up grass from the cooling cover down under the flywheel and across a few stators. Kohler courage 24 v twin. I did get an increase to the AC volts to 18.5 ish after and now runs on full throttle. Now the engine surges at low RPMs Taryl your prybar worked smoothly removing the flywheel ! Thanks.
Taryl Brother, that magnet schtick worked perfect!!!! I removed my flywheel via your trick and all 6 magnets were stuck to the stator. Drying now with JB quick. I fixed the mower, she can mow the lawn!
I took my flywheel off and two of the magnets were broke in half. I glued the magnets back in place with JB weld and 24hrs of curing time, I put it all back together and the system is charging just fine. So, there is hope without having to buy a new flywheel, I just pushed the two pieces together with the JB Weld and a clamp, and it works fine.
Hi Robert, Thanks for your input. I have one broken magnet. Good to know that I can glue both halves back on the flywheel in the proper sequence and get it to work. John
@WHATS YOURSOC Update: I glued the broken magnets back on the flywheel with JB Weld and now the charging system works perfect. Thanks to Robert Hills for sharing his knowledge. John
This is the best video, I have located on the Internet. Located and/or seen anywhere. I thank, You Tube and Taryl for finally putting togather a winner! Please, keep making videos! Thanks a Trillion!!!
Thanks for this video sir! My mower stopped charging two years ago. I just mowed the lawn then put it on a charger afterwards. Somehow, my battery has survived all this. Since I was tearing it down for it's annual spring maintenance, I decided to yank the flywheel and have a look. Sure enough, all my magnets were sticking to the stator, I imagine it won't charge well like that. :-) I will be cleaning it up and gluing them back on, thanks for the tips. I wouldn't have thought to look for this.
I recently discovered Taryl while having continuing headaches with my Craftsman lawn tractor with a Kohler Command twin. He really knows his stuff and makes it easy to understand and shows you how to do it. But he talks funny. Is that a Boston accent? Thanks, man!
First, thanks for your information about the magnets coming loose from the flywheel. My mower with a Kohler engine was not charging. Just a comment about the spacing when installing the magnets. The circumference of a circle is 6 times the radius. When I reattached my magnets I measured the diameter of the circle where the magnets attach. That would be the diameter of the circle. I then divided the diameter by 2 which gave me the radius. Then using a compass set to the radius I divided the circumference into 6 equal sections. When I reattached the magnets I used the marks I made with the compass as a guide so I got even spacing on the magnets. Just another approach. Use it if you'd like. Thanks again.
Typical, I just went through this very repair on my garden tractor, shims, JB weld and all, and then I watch how to do what I just did. Thanks for the video guys, along with many others I surely appreciate your efforts. One note, all my magnets were found intact and attached to the stator, realizing their orientation may be critical I marked their location as found. I found myself wondering how I'd properly orient the magnets if I didn't find them as I did. Thanks to y'all now I know, and there's my dinner.
Yeah, I experience the same scenario: I look for good DIY help videos and I can't find "the one"; usually I have to create a playlist and save about 20 videos until I understand the solution then after I move forward to do my best then when I return to UA-cam searching for another DIY Assistance video then occasionally in the "UA-cam Recommend List is the best video"!
Another very useful video. Maybe one of your best. Even if I think I know how to fix something I come to Taryl first. It never fails that something new to me is found in every video. Thanks again guy. You should be a Tech school instructor.
Fantastic video. Bought a Husqvarna tractor and noticed no output from the alternator/no charging. Ohmmeter showed the stator was good and I stumbled onto this video. Absolutely could not pull the flywheel with a puller and Taryl's pry bar and hammer worked like a charm. Popped the flywheel and sure enough, the magnets were off the flywheel. Replaced per the video and back in service !
great videos. mine had the same issue with the magnets. I was pulling my hair because I replaced the stator and the regulator and the battery and still no charge. I just assumed the magnets. belonged on the stator. and if not for information your videos are very entertaining. nice to see someone who really enjoys their job and making videos instead of the usual droning voice.
Wow, this video was the first time I ever heard taryl curse lol. It's like hearing a preacher curse. You dont like it but you want to hear more. I got no problem with it. I'm glad you keep it clean for all ages tho.
Hey Taryl. Came across your video about magnets. I’ve got a Kohler Command 20 on a Ranger 8. Magnets came off the flywheel and stayed on the old stator. I replaced the regulator, battery cables, etc. Im going to give this method if you’re a try but I wondered if a couple or few magnets with a bit of a broken corner on each one would affect it too much? Thanks, G
Thanks for a great video. Just popped the flywheel off my engine and the magnets were stuck to the stator exactly as shown in your video. I used up all my JB Weld fixing the wife's dentures, so I have to run to the store and get some more before I glue the magnets back on.
Thanks Tyral, I also had a broken magnet. I just spaced the magnets as shown i.e alternating North South poles and glued them with JB Quick to the inner face of the flywheel with the 1/8 inch recess from the top inner face of the flywheel. The one that was cracked I just placed the two pieces together where it was cracked and glued them to the flywheel. Got good A/C readings from the Stator and also good D/C readings from the center tap on the voltage regulator. John
Hi Taryl, That is one of the best how to videos I have ever seen. You taught me how to repair the problem on my "Krohler" and I'm still laughing at your antics. Keep up the good work! Hope you are going to sell Grass Rats t-shirts and bumper stickers. I'll be buying some.
Great demo as all the others are. The connector to the voltage rectifier from the stator , does it have a specific way to attach to voltage rectifier? both outer wires are ac form stator, does it matter which end they are on? I have the kholer command engine on a cub cadet lt1050, with center wire going to battery/'key.
Taryl I found magnets for $34.50 a set on ebay. Mine was broken along with the starter gear, after some bone head tried to weld the gear. (also $34.50 ca-ching) Thanks for the video good job
Didn't know about the magnet arrangement so I was looking for an answer as to why my mower wouldn't start after replacing the flywheel. I got a likely answer in this video regarding the north and south poles of the magnets and their arrangement. I just stuck them in with no regard for the polarity plus I didn't epoxy them in place. Back to the drawing board for me. Thanks for the info!
Re-posting question. Done that myself on a Briggs. Question on stator removal on CH980 twin. Got everything removed but when it came to lifting off stator, it will not budge. Seems to be stuck on the mating surface. I've removed a similar stator but had to completely destroy it to remove. Corrosion on the inner ring surface. Any suggestions? Have you had any similar experience?
Taryl I have a Tecumseh HH60-105090F engine that the magnets came loose on the flywheel. Do you have any advice on placement and polarity before I try to glue them back in. thank you for the videos. They are a great help.
Hey Taryl, I got the same motor im working on. Come on a Dixon 5601 zero turn. I got the wires comin from the black box there that the yellow and brown go to the coils. Well i have a red that turns into 2, one going to the carb and the other just hanging out in there unhooked. Then I have a purple wire thats cut and I assume its going to the middle prong of the piece coning from the stator. (3 prong, white on the 2 outside prongs) Could ya help me out? Cant find a wiring diagram that shows em
Love it guys..great stuff..ive got a 25 hp kohler ive got 43 ac volts at the new voltage regulator..and I installed a new stator but no charging voltage at the battery... Any ideas? Also checked all the wires and didnt see any that were cut or broken
One of my magnets is broken - and flywheels start at $90 on the bay... so I'm going to attempt to jb weld the broken magnet because i have a hard head. Also, the little magnet test (for polarity) doesn't seem to work exactly like in the video. Any advice as I go into this? Like and appreciate the vids by the way.
I have an M18S Kohler Magnum V-Twin and I want to bench test / start on the work bench. What wires need to be hooked up and hooked to what, for me to do this?
Hi guys, love you channel. I have a Toro with a CH25S. Hasn’t charged since I bought it secondhand a few years back. After watching your video I pulled it apart. The magnets were still attached to the flywheel but were all loose. I cleaned them and glued with JB weld as per your video, separating the push pull magnets. I replaced the stator and rectifier. But still isn’t charging. No 12v from the centre of the rectifier but I am get 10v AC. Any idea what maybe causing this. Thanks heaps Allan
Amazed that I was able to get it on the first try on my Kohler V-twin. Still can't imagine how one magnet comes detached and the thing doesn't eat itself alive. Taryl, you're wicked cool. Link your Paypal or Cash App and I'll donate. Thank you!!!!!!!!
Hi Taryl, I have a CV15S Kohler with 4 magnets that need to be re-glued to the inside of the flywheel . The magnets are clean and the flywheel is clean , and Two pair of magnets attract and 2 magnets repel , But I don't know how they line up in the flywheel, can you help me on this one ? TY Jim
question for ya Taryl, great vids btw .. I have a 25 HP Kohler v-Twin Command Engine that will not start or even jump from a car. I see the ignition coils leading to the flywheel are rusted could that be it or the starter? Thanks
Does anyone know where to get replacement magnets for a ech749-3038 Kohler engine? Mine spit 3 of them and they broke to pieces took the stator with them😥
Did you ever figure out where to buy the magnets by themselves? I’m thinking I’ll have to find a detailed schematic of this engine online in order to find out the exact dimensions of the magnets that I need; then use that information on a website that sells specialty/custom magnets.
Taryl. Great video as usual. Question: Have Kohler CH980 v-twin that cannot remove the stator. Seized onto block. Tried wd40 overnight but it won't budge. Anyway to remove without damaging? Any tricks of the trade would be most appreciated.
Great Video! Have a Kohler CH23 engine and had to replace the stator, which had a broken corroded wire, glued loose magnets back in, and replaced voltage regulator. At full RPM the regulator produces 38-41 volts AC but only 8-9 volts DC. The battery has always started the mower when charged and is not new but was fully charged and showing around 12.7 volts. After starting it maintains charging battery only at the same level with slight increase (like 12.74), but not the 13+ volts I was anticipating? I believe the battery is ok but have recharged it several times before fixing the charging issues. Does this scenario just indicate weaker battery? or something else I missed? or its normal?
So continueing a long journy to put a headlight on my minibike, a 8hp engine i had had a stator and a flywheel with 3 magnets. what i did was swap the stator to my 5hp techumseh and since the inside diameter of the flywheels are the same but the outside is too large on the 8hp one i decided to try and swap the magnets. i knew this was going to happen but i broke one of them, got one good, and slightly chiped another. the one that broke in half the poles dod not seem to reverse as the magnet still wanted to stick back togeather in its near original position. i currently have them glueing to my 5hp flywheel but im wondering if that magnet that is broken is going to cause problems. im just wondering if you have any experience putting broken ones on and how well or if they work at all. Thanks!
I am getting 15.75 volts DC out of my regulator/rectifier (I get close to 40 volts AC coming out of my stator/alternator). I am getting 14.2 Volts DC at the battery with the engine running - question: I am about to install a new electric PTO clutch and Xtreme power says I should be at between 13.4 and 14 volts DC at the battery. Any more will "cook" the electric clutch. So how do I lower the DC output - I know my regulator/rectifier is working but perhaps not well enough and it should be lower the output a bit less??
...Want to remove the flywheel from my 25hp Kohler engine...but plastic fan has rusted on bolts....Does the center pop out of the plastic fan?....Thinking of cutting it out to get to flywheel nut...but if it snaps out , it would be easier....
Awesome! Exactly what was wrong with mine. Only thing I did different was I used 1/4" square stock for spacers and worked perfect. Thanks for the video!
Man this is exactly the lesson I needed this morning for my ol Kohler I mean Kroler. You’re such a good man to share that with us Taryl I’m gonna send you a $100 so you can go see the dentist haha. Tnx brother !!!
Assalam O Alaikum! Sir, I have a honda cg125 point ignition system. Its stator magnets are broken. I arrange new magnet pieces but i did not know what kind of epoxy or glue i should use to fix them in body. Please tell me any type of epoxy.
Taryl, My inlaws Kohler will not go to full throttle, the 20 amp fuse blows when you apply full. Battery is god and testing the regulator I get 14+ volts and 16 volts AC at half and full throttle. If you stay at full throttle it blows the 20 amp fuse. Scratching my head on this one? Any thoughts?
Awesome video. I checked mine and am getting 43 volts AC from the stator and only 12.43 volts DC at the battery. I replaced the regulator and still have the same problem it keeps killing the battery. What should I check?
Make sure the little ground jumper wire from the regulator to the engine has a good ground. Make sure the wire is not broken. Try jumpering a wire from the case of the regulator to the negative terminal on the battery & see if the voltage across the battery increases. Thanks fer watchin the video Taryl
OK I tried that and it still does the same thing. 43 Volts AC from the Stator and only 12.43-12.68 at the battery. I sanded the engine block where the regulator bolts on and I have added a jumper wire from the regulator to the negative on the battery and still have only 12 volts at the battery. keeps killing my battery. What else could I check? I have followed the wires and there is no in line fuse and on the fuse bus there are only two fuses and both are good.
Great video My issue Kohler kt735 New lawn tractor stator reading 40ACV at 3600rpm Regulator 8.6dcv Megnatic pieces under flywheel has same boles in direction suck in middle push in ends Kindly your support If i change full flywheel i will get 50 Ac volt or what can i do
I have a customer who glued his on with marine glue and he said its still holding and its been over a year. I use JB weld and haven't had any of the repairs I've done come back. So I would think any good epoxy type adhesive would work just make sure the surfaces are clean.
hey I got me a push mower I got brought to me to work on. the thing only has spark when I put the ground wire on the coil to the spark plug lead and holding me hand to the spark plug lead to a ground. I looked at the flywheel and the magnets only have magnetism only on one side. the other have no magnetism. you think it's a coil or flywheel?
Taryl Fixes All Do you or anyone you might know have any Clinton engines, parts???? 494. 498. 492?? Larger HP too 7.2 HP up to 13 I believe thank you in advance for any help.
Just watched your video, I have a cub cadet 3660 with the 25hp Kohler command vertical shaft. By checking with engine on high run the 2 white wires produce 22-23 volts ac 14 volt dc from middle connecter on the voltage regulator to a ground. Ever since I owned the rider, I have had to put a charger on it for an hour or so to get it to crank. Just replaced the starter and solenoid, still turn key here a clicking in solenoid but no crank. If I keep turning key after a 1/2 dozen times starter may engage I replaced key switch years ago and I dont recall if it got any better. Purchased used, so now warranty, and I have had in once to fix problem but it didn't get fixed. Service department said was all in working order. Do you have any ideas? like you vids, they are funny
I have a kawasaki FX850V and it hasn't been charging. I replaced the voltage rectifier and still not charging. So I bought a new stator and installed that and it's still not charging. I'm in the engine now and seen that I have some cracked magnets inside the flywheel. They are intact and nothing missing. But there is 3 with a couple cracks in them. I have a crap harbor freight digital meter and it jumps around when checking AC voltage coming out of the stator and cant get a solid reading but still not showing anything above 17 volts if......the meter is accurate. When putting it on DC and checking the battery it's a solid 12.9 volts so I know the battery is up. Any clues of what I'm going wrong?

Good job Taryl I've been working on mowers for 40 yrs
I think we're a dying breed
Most young guys if they didn't have Google they be lost. If they had use microfich cards.
Game over.
I have this problem a mont ago a replace that battery and today again but I haven’t done anything I wonder if is my voltaje regulator or my alternator start or on my Ezmark whit 22 hp kholer engine
love your work, please eveyone dont skip Taryls youtube ads, he is worth being monetized!
huge help! replaced my stator and the magnets came out with it. Put it all together not knowing why it still wasn't charging the battery. I came across your video and tore it back down and glued them in. thankfully they were not broke. very entertaining too! keep doing what your doing.
I love the fact that you are a mechanical genius. That is something that I not only didn't know existed, but had no clue how to approach. I owe you'n's a beer for this one for real. Thanks for the videos, cheers!!

Never did get around to sending them to him, though!
You guys rock!!!!! After having charging issues for years, I found this video and it answered all my questions and fixed the charging issue!! Thanks for making the videos.
Kohler charges $180 to replace this poorly designed flywheel which until now, I've had to purchase every other year. This fix works! Thank you.
Taryl and crew - thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. I am an industrial electrician/maint tech and I share what I learned over 30+ years with anyone who is interested. Knowledge is essential and it needs to be shared, not hoarded. I dig your mechanical and comedy vids boy. Keep up the great work boy.

this is this most informative video that I've seen
I love the classic Taryl from back in the day.
I found out it was a lot of dirt and balled up grass from the cooling cover down under the flywheel and across a few stators. Kohler courage 24 v twin.

Broken magnet.... About to put it together... Now that I know that it works... Thank you for the extra info. Appreciate it.
It works great. 43 volts AC. Thank you.
Really appreciate your video. I like how you take the time to explain everything. You are a top rate mechanic. Enjoy the humor too!

Fun watching these old videos. Thanks for keeping them all up, this was a great help to my grassrat butt.
Your videos have come a long way over the years, Taryl. Wooo Hoooo !!!
You taught me alot. Did my fly wheel yesterday. Thanks for doing what you do.
Kohler courage with the same problem here. Thanks for all the tips. Especially the flywheel trick. You’re the best.

Wow, this video was the first time I ever heard taryl curse lol. It's like hearing a preacher curse. You dont like it but you want to hear more. I got no problem with it. I'm glad you keep it clean for all ages tho.
this one commercial break has been 8 minutes lol I hope this buys this man a drink at least
I think I knew how to do this but you guys cracked me up so bad, I had to review and I learned something to. Thanks!
great video Sir..Can i replace th single magnet flywheel that's on the outside
TARYL you rule dude I don't think there's nothing you can't fix on a lawnmower tganks dude for the videos
He is like a fountain of wisdom and good humor !!
Taryl I have been to several local tool stores and have never found those LONG FEELER GAUGES. May I ask where you got yours from??
My guess is that you'd have to go to a machinist tool supply store.
Try eBay they have all kinds of feeler gauges
eBay has the long feeler gauges 12” long I think the whole set was 35 bucks plus tax free shipping
@@samtate1260 Thank You!
How perfect do the magnets have to be to work when you glue them back? 4 of mine have chips in the corners of various sizes.
Hey Taryl. Came across your video about magnets. I’ve got a Kohler Command 20 on a Ranger 8. Magnets came off the flywheel and stayed on the old stator. I replaced the regulator, battery cables, etc.

Tried this method with a broken magnet, so far we are good to go! Gotta love these krolers! Thanks for good basic helps!
Thanks Tyral,
I also had a broken magnet. I just spaced the magnets as shown i.e alternating North South poles and glued them with JB Quick to the inner face of the flywheel with the 1/8 inch recess from the top inner face of the flywheel.

Hey Taryl, I got the same motor im working on. Come on a Dixon 5601 zero turn. I got the wires comin from the black box there that the yellow and brown go to the coils. Well i have a red that turns into 2, one going to the carb and the other just hanging out in there unhooked. Then I have a purple wire thats cut and I assume its going to the middle prong of the piece coning from the stator. (3 prong, white on the 2 outside prongs) Could ya help me out? Cant find a wiring diagram that shows em
Love it guys..great stuff..ive got a 25 hp kohler ive got 43 ac volts at the new voltage regulator..and I installed a new stator but no charging voltage at the battery... Any ideas? Also checked all the wires and didnt see any that were cut or broken
are you testing the stator output on AC or DC? I cant understand you for the noise of the engine
Alternator is AC the regulator is what converts the voltage to DC
Fixed my neighbors mower using your advice. Works like a champ.
One of my magnets is broken - and flywheels start at $90 on the bay... so I'm going to attempt to jb weld the broken magnet because i have a hard head. Also, the little magnet test (for polarity) doesn't seem to work exactly like in the video. Any advice as I go into this? Like and appreciate the vids by the way.
I have an M18S Kohler Magnum V-Twin and I want to bench test / start on the work bench. What wires need to be hooked up and hooked to what, for me to do this?
Good video, thanks.
for setting coil gap, I use index cards. They work great for that.
I’ve Always Called it The “Stator Assembly “ Tarel 😎 Excellent Video
Hi guys, love you channel.
I have a Toro with a CH25S. Hasn’t charged since I bought it secondhand a few years back.
After watching your video I pulled it apart. The magnets were still attached to the flywheel but were all loose. I cleaned them and glued with JB weld as per your video, separating the push pull magnets. I replaced the stator and rectifier.
But still isn’t charging. No 12v from the centre of the rectifier but I am get 10v AC.
Any idea what maybe causing this.
Thanks heaps Allan
Amazed that I was able to get it on the first try on my Kohler V-twin. Still can't imagine how one magnet comes detached and the thing doesn't eat itself alive.
Taryl, you're wicked cool. Link your Paypal or Cash App and I'll donate.
Thank you!!!!!!!!
was your starter constantly getting stuck to the flywheel?
@@henrybenson9560 Mine was not.
question Taryl can one use any Kohler alternator on any engine have to up the out put on a 15.5 single for my application thank you
P.S. this is a engine swap with a electric pto
Hi Taryl, I have a CV15S Kohler with 4 magnets that need to be re-glued to the inside of the flywheel . The magnets are clean and the flywheel is clean , and Two pair of magnets attract and 2 magnets repel , But I don't know how they line up in the flywheel, can you help me on this one ? TY Jim
Another really fine informative and entertaining video. Thank you Taryl Dactyl
hard to beat a old timer great video thanks
best video I seen in a very long time
question for ya Taryl, great vids btw .. I have a 25 HP Kohler v-Twin Command Engine that will not start or even jump from a car. I see the ignition coils leading to the flywheel are rusted could that be it or the starter? Thanks
Does anyone know where to get replacement magnets for a ech749-3038 Kohler engine? Mine spit 3 of them and they broke to pieces took the stator with them😥
Did you ever figure out where to buy the magnets by themselves? I’m thinking I’ll have to find a detailed schematic of this engine online in order to find out the exact dimensions of the magnets that I need; then use that information on a website that sells specialty/custom magnets.
Great video! Did you leave the shims in when putting back together?
Thank You , do you ever work on grass trimmer carbs. ?
Very Good Video..Just what I was looking for...My Magnets all came un glued....Thank you sir...
Taryl. Great video as usual. Question: Have Kohler CH980 v-twin that cannot remove the stator. Seized onto block. Tried wd40 overnight but it won't budge. Anyway to remove without damaging? Any tricks of the trade would be most appreciated.
If the magnet is broken in the center and everything lines up with will it still work
I've got my fly wheel, JB Weld, magnets, clothes pins, and clips on the dining room table right now... Let's GOOOOO!!
Not only is this hillarious, It was very helpfull! Thanks Taryl
I have a 2017 bad boy with a 27hp kohler..
Not charging.. were is that located?
Great Video! Have a Kohler CH23 engine and had to replace the stator, which had a broken corroded wire, glued loose magnets back in, and replaced voltage regulator. At full RPM the regulator produces 38-41 volts AC but only 8-9 volts DC. The battery has always started the mower when charged and is not new but was fully charged and showing around 12.7 volts. After starting it maintains charging battery only at the same level with slight increase (like 12.74), but not the 13+ volts I was anticipating? I believe the battery is ok but have recharged it several times before fixing the charging issues. Does this scenario just indicate weaker battery? or something else I missed? or its normal?
So continueing a long journy to put a headlight on my minibike, a 8hp engine i had had a stator and a flywheel with 3 magnets. what i did was swap the stator to my 5hp techumseh and since the inside diameter of the flywheels are the same but the outside is too large on the 8hp one i decided to try and swap the magnets. i knew this was going to happen but i broke one of them, got one good, and slightly chiped another. the one that broke in half the poles dod not seem to reverse as the magnet still wanted to stick back togeather in its near original position. i currently have them glueing to my 5hp flywheel but im wondering if that magnet that is broken is going to cause problems. im just wondering if you have any experience putting broken ones on and how well or if they work at all. Thanks!
What the best glue to used on a flywheel to glue magnet back on
I am getting 15.75 volts DC out of my regulator/rectifier (I get close to 40 volts AC coming out of my stator/alternator). I am getting 14.2 Volts DC at the battery with the engine running - question: I am about to install a new electric PTO clutch and Xtreme power says I should be at between 13.4 and 14 volts DC at the battery. Any more will "cook" the electric clutch. So how do I lower the DC output - I know my regulator/rectifier is working but perhaps not well enough and it should be lower the output a bit less??
...Want to remove the flywheel from my 25hp Kohler engine...but plastic fan has rusted on bolts....Does the center pop out of the plastic fan?....Thinking of cutting it out to get to flywheel nut...but if it snaps out , it would be easier....
Your feeler guage is so long! Awesome video
The device u used to spec the 10thousand what is it called??
Awesome! Exactly what was wrong with mine. Only thing I did different was I used 1/4" square stock for spacers and worked perfect. Thanks for the video!
Metal spacers can weaken mag field.
Man this is exactly the lesson I needed this morning for my ol Kohler I mean Kroler. You’re such a good man to share that with us Taryl I’m gonna send you a $100 so you can go see the dentist haha. Tnx brother !!!
Taryl’s crooked teeth play too important of a role in the order of the universe! Don’t upset his molar matrix!
Assalam O Alaikum!
Sir, I have a honda cg125 point ignition system. Its stator magnets are broken. I arrange new magnet pieces but i did not know what kind of epoxy or glue i should use to fix them in body. Please tell me any type of epoxy.
He is using jb weld kwik weld 2 part epoxy
The hv350 adhesive that he sells on his website would probably work also
tary, did u leave your shims in the flywheel??? between the magnets when u install the flywheel back
thank you fun to watch and enjoy Christine
Taryl fixes all if I can’t get those magnets do you think I could use neodymium magnets? I have some from another project.
12:50 "Hell yeah I did that!!". Taryl you're tooooo funny!!!!
Taryl, My inlaws Kohler will not go to full throttle, the 20 amp fuse blows when you apply full. Battery is god and testing the regulator I get 14+ volts and 16 volts AC at half and full throttle. If you stay at full throttle it blows the 20 amp fuse. Scratching my head on this one? Any thoughts?
Taryl is this the same on 14hp Kohler as well?
Awesome video. I checked mine and am getting 43 volts AC from the stator and only 12.43 volts DC at the battery. I replaced the regulator and still have the same problem it keeps killing the battery. What should I check?
Make sure the little ground jumper wire from the regulator to the engine has a good ground. Make sure the wire is not broken. Try jumpering a wire from the case of the regulator to the negative terminal on the battery & see if the voltage across the battery increases. Thanks fer watchin the video Taryl
Awesome! There is no wire but I will try adding one and see if that works! Thanks!
OK I tried that and it still does the same thing. 43 Volts AC from the Stator and only 12.43-12.68 at the battery. I sanded the engine block where the regulator bolts on and I have added a jumper wire from the regulator to the negative on the battery and still have only 12 volts at the battery. keeps killing my battery. What else could I check? I have followed the wires and there is no in line fuse and on the fuse bus there are only two fuses and both are good.
Great video
My issue
Kohler kt735
New lawn tractor stator reading 40ACV at 3600rpm
Regulator 8.6dcv
Megnatic pieces under flywheel has same boles in direction suck in middle push in ends
Kindly your support
If i change full flywheel i will get 50 Ac volt or what can i do
hi there
i have a magnet for a Yamaha R1 abd bought the little magnets replacements but im wondering what kind of glue should i use
I have a customer who glued his on with marine glue and he said its still holding and its been over a year. I use JB weld and haven't had any of the repairs I've done come back. So I would think any good epoxy type adhesive would work just make sure the surfaces are clean.
What about ones that don't have a voltage regulator. How do you test those (magnets are good and in place)?
He is off the charts !!! There you go now, theres your dinner !
Taryl, are you sure you will not burnell the bearings of the engine ??? Thanks, VF
hey I got me a push mower I got brought to me to work on. the thing only has spark when I put the ground wire on the coil to the spark plug lead and holding me hand to the spark plug lead to a ground. I looked at the flywheel and the magnets only have magnetism only on one side. the other have no magnetism. you think it's a coil or flywheel?
+Jordan Walker Let me get this straight. When you hook up the kill wire you have no spark?
+Taryl Fixes All Try a different coil
Taryl Fixes All Do you or anyone you might know have any Clinton engines, parts???? 494. 498. 492?? Larger HP too 7.2 HP up to 13 I believe thank you in advance for any help.
Just watched your video, I have a cub cadet 3660 with the 25hp Kohler command vertical shaft. By checking with engine on high run the 2 white wires produce 22-23 volts ac 14 volt dc from middle connecter on the voltage regulator to a ground. Ever since I owned the rider, I have had to put a charger on it for an hour or so to get it to crank. Just replaced the starter and solenoid, still turn key here a clicking in solenoid but no crank. If I keep turning key after a 1/2 dozen times starter may engage I replaced key switch years ago and I dont recall if it got any better. Purchased used, so now warranty, and I have had in once to fix problem but it didn't get fixed. Service department said was all in working order. Do you have any ideas? like you vids, they are funny
I need to watch one of these everyday
I have a kawasaki FX850V and it hasn't been charging. I replaced the voltage rectifier and still not charging. So I bought a new stator and installed that and it's still not charging. I'm in the engine now and seen that I have some cracked magnets inside the flywheel. They are intact and nothing missing. But there is 3 with a couple cracks in them.
I have a crap harbor freight digital meter and it jumps around when checking AC voltage coming out of the stator and cant get a solid reading but still not showing anything above 17 volts if......the meter is accurate. When putting it on DC and checking the battery it's a solid 12.9 volts so I know the battery is up.
Any clues of what I'm going wrong?
