After cutting 3.5 acres the battery should be 100% charged..

​@@cliffmills4583 I think he has an electric mower

Wow, glad you were able to get it fixed. -Ed

Thanks!

Thanks, we're just having fun. -Ed

Went off in my brain from tech school years ago. The diode diverts the spike back to ground vs damages to other electrical components. Again great advice buddy thank you.

No problem. -Ed

My mower won't run without shaking the main body, sometimes it runs for a second, sometiems for a minute if the mower is kept moving, however when it runs around normal speed I can smell what seems like ozone just for a bit then goes away. Mower then stops and it takes quite a lot of shaking to get it to start again. No problem with circuit breaker.

:)

Super. Our industry is in need of great technical know how. -Ed

No problem, thanks.

Sure! -Ed

Hi James, My role is VP of Engineering, Sales, Marketing, and Service. I love mowers, using mowers, and the business of mowers and try to bring you the best experience I can. From a young age I grew up around the factory and have been blessed to have learned a lot from many cool people who have gone before me. I hope you have a great season. -Ed

James Culbertson j

Awesome. There are not enough people in this world understand electronics. -Ed

Thanks.

Glad to hear it's been useful to you. Yeah, we have some ideas. I'd like to eventually do videos on almost everything in the owners manual. Thanks, Ed

instaBlaster...

Wearing metal jewelry while working with electricity is like duct taping 50 bloody steaks to your body and swimming in shark infested waters. I found that out the hard way. Same with welding, I was too cool to wear a jacket and woke up the next day looking like I shed my skin and grew some scales made out of frosted flakes

Sure, glad to be of help. -Ed

Sorry we don't. I don't think they are as safe.

Sure!

Good!

thanks

William, I don't know a lot about your model. It sounds like there is something wrong with the machine side or where you reconnected the engine. Double check those connections.

Put a new battery on it

sure

You can reach out to our service department here www.wrightmfg.com/contact/

Glad it was helpful!

Likely one of the safety switches is faulty, there is one on each of the control levers, under the seat and on the brake. Please contact our service department or your local dealer if you have any questions! We would be happy to help

Take off all the safety buttons or you'll keep having problems most newer mower big and small are loaded with those i took them all off my john deere and craftsmen mowers and don't have any of that problem anymore

Or go buy a bunch more of those cheap safety buttons

Strange. Maybe a grounding or charge issue? -Ed

You could get you a battery charger plug it in the outlet turn the ignition key to on plug the black clamp to any metal on the mower and touch the red one to the red wire on the starter That'll make it start if something else went out on the mower like the ignition key switch could have a spark box could have could have a loose ground wire or loose to the battree if not doing nothing it can be a burnt out safety button

It can die at once but usually it dies slowly. More likely it's the blade switch. -Ed

Wow, could be a lot of things. I'd be sure the blades are free--maybe they seized. Electrically, check the platform switch.

Sounds like spindles if u swamped the deck while the spindles were hot they sucked up water then u put up the mower the bearings rusted solid so the motor and pto can't spin the belt

It's a safety button

I don't have a lot of experience with that model. Surely there is a short somewhere. If you can use an ohm meter and check the clutch that may be a good start.

Marcus, Hope you were able to get it fixed. I'm not of much use on a Husky. -Ed

Maybe the regulator on the engine?

Carlos, Each different model has a slightly different schematic. The best thing to do is go to part.wrightmfg.com and enter your mower's serial number. Browse to the electrical page and drill down to the part view of the main harness--that will pop up the schematic for your mower. if you have any issues just select the help tab on the left side of the screen. I'm glad this was helpful! Best wishes. -Ed

Sounds like problem in key switch. The contacts are bad

Hi Bob, I only specialize in the mowers we build. sorry. -Ed

Probably something with the kill circuit or blade switch.

Love the video by the way

Probably a bad voltage regulator

@@johnmitchell8925 Thanks for the reply. This comment I made was last year turns out after using a voltmeter it was in the ignition switch. The return back to the battery wasn’t giving the battery a proper charge

Michael, it's like your health. You can try to describe all your symptoms to the doctor but ultimately you do need to account for your instincts. You are probably right that it's electrical. 1. If you disconnect the kill wire at the engine that will keep the electrical system from killing the spark--just note that this is only a diagnostic procedure you MAY NOT BE ABLE TO TURN IT OFF without shutting off the fuel. 2. It could be a bad coil. When they get hot or create a weak spark they can begin skipping under full load. 3. The ignition power wire going to the fuel valve in the carburetor could be skipping causing the valve to close but I don't think this is likely since what I know of SCAG's electrical systems it's not connected to the clutch in any way. Note that a loose ground will also do this. I hope your issue is resolved quickly--electrical stuff can be mysterious. Whenever we have an un-diagnosed electrical issue pop up as a warranty issue we often advise the dealer to replace the entire harness to insure 100% the problem goes away. -Ed

Michael Pasco where'd the ground wire connect on a troy bolt riding mower

Maybe a loose belt or a weak battery

Engine load increases without increasing fuel to engine will cause it to die. Check governor for correct operation and connection to engine throttle linkage.

Yes, a good way to check charge.

Scag and Wright probably have the most similar electrical systems., but since I didn't make them I don't have the diagrams. You will have to call Scag. I've had to call them before for service questions and you won't find a number on their website. You have to call 920-387-3150. Good luck, I hope you are up and running soon! -Ed Wright

Wright Commercial Mowers thanks a million

You can get everything you need for scag from www.partstree.com

Tim, We no longer make any Deere mowers so I can't answer for sure. If I recall they have a red wire that goes from the regulator on the engine to the positive stud on the starter. Check that wire, the main ground wire, and then you may need to check that the regulator is working, which you can do by reading the battery voltage. Voltage should be about 11-12v when off and about 14v when the engine is running. -Ed

Wright Commercial Mowers, thank you.
