Roary the Repair Lion says:

If your battery keeps dying, then this is probably the part you require! This is a common problem as it is a part that wears out over time or can blow if there is a surge in the charging system, the battery or if a battery has been hooked up backwards.

If not replaced quickly it can damage your battery and cause your starter motor solenoid to burn out! Prevent an expensive repair and replace it as soon as possible. Otherwise future surges will damage your Starter Motor and Battery!

Testing:

Testing the Battery Charging Rectifier (BCR) can only effectively be performed with the engine running, so for this you will need to use the recoil starter if your engine has manual start. 

  1. With a multi-meter, you need to check the input to the BCR from the Charging Coil behind the flywheel. Input should be between 16-22 VAC. Anything outside of these values indicates a problem with the charging coils. Replace the Charging Coil and the BCR as it will also have failed if the voltage was higher than 22 VAC. Replacing the BCR alone at this point would lead to another failure. 
  2. If the voltage input is correct, we then need to test the BCR's output to the battery, this is done from the output wire to the engine body (ground) and should give you a voltage reading of 12.5-13.5 VDC. Any other reading indicates the BCR has failed and needs replacing.
  3. To test the battery, check across the poles. Again you should get 12.5-13.5 VDC. If you get a lower or higher voltage, replace as soon as possible or it will damage your BCR, if it has not already.

The OEM battery for you engine has been discontinued, but we sell alternative batteries that will suit your engine.

Extra Information

Petrol Engine Machinery

Q. Why does my engine need the choke on to stay running?

A. Requiring the Choke to stay on to run is usually a fuel delivery problem and you should clean or replace the Air Filter and Carburetor. For further info on this, please Click Here:

Q. How do I fix a fuel leak from my Carburetor?

A. There are broadly two reasons for fuel leaking from the Carburetor. Either failed Seals or Gaskets. Or there is a Float Needle problem. We go into more if you Click Here:

Q. Why is my engine backfiring through the Carburetor?

A. On this type of engine, backfiring through the Carburetor is usually caused by problems in the Cylinder Head. Most commonly, the Valve Clearances need to be reset, or a Valve is stuck but this could also be other problems within the Cylinder Head so the parts need to be examined carefully. You can find a guide to resetting your Valve Clearances and more info, Click Here:

Q. I have no spark, what do I do?

A. There are initially three things to check, the low oil circuit, then the spark plug and ignition coil. For detailed instructions, Click Here:

Q. My starter motor is spinning but the engine will not fire?

A. These engines do not have a spark so this is often a fuel issue, for diagnostic steps, please Click Here:

Q. Why is my generator producing excess smoke?

A. This can depend on the colour of the smoke: black smoke is too much fuel/not enough air, so clean or replace the air filter then examine the injector; white smoke is usually water in the fuel, change the fuel and filters; blue smoke is a sign of burning oil, usually this is caused by failed valve seals or piston rings.

Electric Start Device

Q. Why does my generator battery keep going flat?

A. Generators recharge their own battery and the part that is responsible for this is called the Battery Charging Rectifier or Regulator and provides a steady voltage back to the battery while it is running, these parts are prone to overheating and failure, for please Click Here:

Q. Why doesn’t my electric start work?

A. Firstly, whether this is an engine problem or electric start problem needs to be established. If the generator starts with the pull start, please see the link below, it will describe the different electric start circumstances and what to do. Click Here:
