Just to close this out, I found the rotor windings open in the alternator. I didn't bother to see if I could repair it. Bought a new alternator and all is well.

It's an easy pull. Side panel, 2 bolts and three wires. We are supposed to get some rain the next day or two so I'll have time to look at it. The battery was getting some age on it, so I suspect it just died and stayed dead. I was really surprised when the new battery showed not charging, but...

I am not getting more than battery voltage. I wish I was getting the 13.0+ at the battery. But then, if the light was still on I'd have to track that down. I haven't had time to look at it much over the last couple of days. I can hook the charger up and see if that puts the light out. I'm not...

Russell, the regulator is screwed in place on the end of the alternator, as are the diodes (bridge). I did find the service manual, and there is a test procedure for the components. The regulator is tested simply just like a diode; it should conduct in one direction but not the other. The diode...

Add what you think may be helpful. I'm just looking for answers. I pulled the alternator yesterday and opened it up, cleaned the slip rings and brushes, but had no specs on checking the regulator or anything else. Still a little curious about the switch. Part of this problem is that everything...

Roadworthy, my charger is more than capable, but that's a moot point now. I replaced the battery after a load test anyway. I am needing to test the charging circuit, and now I have the schematic, so hopefully can sort it out. Thank you!

old and tired, thanks. At that page, which I had visited before, I saw no help on the 3600, so at your suggestion, looked for the 3300. Only the owners manual, which has no technical data on the electrical system. I did find a service manual on Scribd, however. I had forgotten I had a membership...

Greetings all! New guy here, having a small problem with a L3600. Guilty of letting it sit for maybe 3 months, and went to use it, and no start. Simple enough, battery charger on low....no hurry. Refused to charge. Dash lights came up, died on crank position. OK, low battery even after ample...
