Hey guys, it's been a while since I've been here, but I need some help. I have a 1969 125 with a blower on. The wiring was a mess, but it worked, although it would not charge and the charge-meter was bouncing all over the place while running. I would have to jump it every time I wanted to blow. It got to the point where even jump-starting would not work, so I got a new S/G, after having the old one test bad. I didn't want to fry the new S/G, so I went through the wiring completely, using a Cub diagram. It is all right on now. The ign. switch was replaced before I got the tractor (lost key), and the new one is wired properly and works correctly. Starter solenoid tested and works properly. HOWEVER, there is a Echlin voltage regulator (automotive, I'm guessing) on it, but it appears to be wired correctly, however the markings on the tabs do totally match the diag. THE PROBLEM with the tractor is that now, as soon as I hook up the battery cables, the tractor starts to crank over, with the key off. Is the (automotive) regulator my problem? I assume it is. I cannot imagine it is internally the same as a Cub unit using a starter/generator. HELP! Thank you very much for your time. Newt
