    ASV RC100 not charging

    I talked with ASV techs a LOT whilst trying to figure out my issues. they let me know the fuel meter is always on, take a look at the overhead wiring to be sure you're not accidentally tapped into that circuit. My big issue with my charging system was purchasing an alternator from Vine and...

    Cat 315L stalling out

    Used a tig rod to clear out the drain. Saw some water and random crap come out before it ran clear. Purged the system of air and it fired right up.

    Cat 315L stalling out

    So I’ve replaced 11’ of fuel line. Bled the air out of the system and it fired right up. Runs fine until I jostle the machine a bit while digging and then she sputters and stalls. Nige, it’s seeming like your speculation was bang on! So I reached under the tank and I can feel a valve, it...

    Cat 315L stalling out

    Hello folks, I have a 315L Serial # 6YM00723 in pretty good shape for the year. Sat over the winter with fuel additives in the tank. Topped the tank with fresh fuel and she started right up, let it warm up while I hit the grease fittings and it started to stumble a bit and stalled out. Only...

    ASV RC100 not charging

    Here’s a follow up to this post. The problem was!?! A “OEM” alternator that wasn’t OEM. Vendor shipped first Alt to me, install new alt and no charge. Return Alt and vendor sends me another “OEM” alt and that one also doesn’t charge. Eat the cost of that vendors Alt and purchase an alt...

    ASV RC100 not charging

    Well the mystery continues. Had the second new alternator bench tested today and it’s working perfectly. Put back in, connect B+ and D+ start up and no charge... So then I run a jumper wire from D+ to 12V and still nothing. I disconnect the B+ wire start up and touch D+ to 12V and it’s...

    ASV RC100 not charging

    Backstory time, I hired a local mechanic to replace all the wire harnesses in this rig. His work is clean and tidy, that being said... Went digging in the overhead console and found three wires not attached to anything. One puts our 12V and one of the other two must be a ground. Here’s a...

    ASV RC100 not charging

    Put a meter on it today. With ignition on B+ was 11.55 and D+ was 2.5 I confirmed 11.55 is the battery voltage as I need to put the charger back on it.

    ASV RC100 not charging

    I’ll check this with a meter. I’ve been having to charge the battery externally to start and run the ASV for short tasks around the farm. Not sure if this would matter but, one feature this RC100 has I’ve never seen before is a battery cut off switch wired between the battery ground and main...
