It’s not a “regulator”…. It’s a RECTIFIER/ regulator. The two black leads from the stator carry A/C voltage that pass into the 1/2 wave rectifier and come out as regulated D/C voltage. 3) VOM on A/C Voltage – One lead on each wire, with engine running.

Why does the 20 amp fuse keep blowing?

A new 17.5 Briggs and Stratton engine. That engine had thrown a rod since then. So I have a rolling chassis with a blown engine. I didn’t try to figure out why the cadet was blowing the 20amp fuse.

What happens when a fuse blows on an ignition switch?

Insert a new fuse into the holder and turn the key to the run position. Turn the key off and pull out the fuse to see if it blew. If the fuse blows. When you turn the key to the run position, an internal ignition switch contact sends current from the B terminal on the ignition switch to the A1 terminal to energize the blue wire.
