B&S 23 HP
Turn the key and 1/2 the time and it acts like it tries to turn over but does not fully crank.
Brand new battery, all terminals have been removed and cleaned.
New voltage regulator.
It does it whether the motor has been running or not.
Sometimes it just starts right up.
When it's running the charger is putting out 13.8 volts.
Only problem I've found so far is one of the fuses was burned up so I changed the fuse block and the fuse.
May have been caused by my trying to jump start it using my 50 amp. motor start position on my battery charger.
Once it does run it runs perfect, no smoke, no missing.
If I test just the battery it has just over 12 volts with nothing running.
If I put it on the charger a while it starts right up.
The solenoid does not click like a low battery when trying to crank over.
What do I check next?
