I've been having a problem with my riding mower. It's an older Craftsman DYT 4000 with a 18hp Briggs and Stratton engine model no 917.275640. I've tested the alternator and its putting out 28 ac volts and I also replaced the voltage regulator. Also I have two good batteries I switch back and forth between charging so I can use the mower. I'm lost on what else the problem could be. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Thanks.

If the alternator is good and you replaced the voltage regulator you need to now check and repalce the charging stator.
Is that the piece under the flywheel? If it is that's what I meant by altenator
What about spark plugs? Maybe going out!
Never mind I figured it out! I was messing with the regulator that has a screw through the middle of it and it mounts to the plastic oil dipstick tube and added a ground to the regulator and ran the wire to the neg end of the battery and it fixed it. Thanks for your repsones
