Answer Hello Chris:
You can View a Breakdow of the Engine at this Addy http://shop.briggsandstratton.com/BShopProductListingPage.asp?rsvp=0&PARENTID=0&... and Enter the Model Numbers 303777 and the Type Numbers 0015 and Click Search. On the Next Page Scrool Down to the 2nd Listing and Click View PDF. This will DOwnload a Breakdown of the Engine. On Page 6 of 22 is the Stator and the Regulator. Check the Stator by Disconnecting it from the Regulator and Checking the Voltage from the Stator. The Stator Voltage should be 15.5 Volts or Higher from the Stator. If this Voltage is Good, Replace the Regulator. If the Voltage is Not, Replace the Stator and the Regulator. Most times when the Stator Goes Bad the Regulator has Gone Bad Also. Most times the Regulator is the Bad Component. Hope this Helps. Let me know what Happens, Please. I enjoy knowing the Outcome. Thanks.
