Re: Battery charging issues

Thank you for that education.
All parts are new or rebuilt except that I don't know about the fuel pump, it came with the engine. Also, the voltage regulator is original with truck.
I think I can rule out the cold/hot issue. Engine will not restart no matter. The starter rotates the engine without trying to fire up. I do not have a gas tank installed yet so I am running a thinner than the metal gas line, hard plastic tube in a gas can (always making sure it's full). The other condition I have is I installed the Pertronix ignition. Someone mentioned that they are junk. Maybe that is why my timing mark is jumping up and down from the bell housing pointer. I did notice in the YouTube where the gal is starting up the tractor, it is cranking very slow (like mine sometimes) but fires right up and running. I also noticed if I work the starter too long, it gets so hot, I can't keep my hand on it (it was rebuilt recently).
Joe.
