I have a 16 hp Vangaurd with a 12 volt Burner
When I run the burner it works fine even running almost non stop for hours, but the next time I go to start the machine the battery is low and does not have enough power to start the engine. I have to jump it from another battery.
When I do NOT run the burner the battery stays charged up fine and battery has good charge when I go to restart the engine.
So the alternator must be charging but not as well as it used to?
What should I test to figure out what is going on?
This is on a Hydrotek SS Skid.
