I have a Craftsman 25hp OHV riding mower. Not sure of the year but the the model is 917.272201 with a 46" deck and electric engage. My problem is the amp meter says at idle its charging 3 to 5 amps, not sure if this is enough. I don't know enough about this subject. idle half throttle it shows between 3 and 5 amps but when I engage the blades it drops below 0. is it the stator or regulator. All terminals have been cleaned and are tight and I installed a brand new battery with 350 cca. I can jump start it and can mow for hours and the battery will not charge. I hooked up a fog light to all wires I can find that have power coming from them and it lights bright every time. the blade never disengage because of lack of power. Confused.
