My recent addition 444 is burning the fuse running between the switch and ammeter. Engine starts up, tractor runs fine, but after a couple of start cycles, the fuse burns out. The prior owner bypassed the ammeter so I reconnected the leads (pain to get to) and the problem continues. The ammeter guage shows 10 amps +- when running. I am using an automotive 20 amp fuse as this is what I believe the specs call for and don't want to go higher. Have checked the wiring diagram and everything seems to check out. Anyone run into this? Power surge? Wrong fuse? regulator?Wrong switch? (the starter swich in the tractor looks fairly new but is unlike the ones on my 446 and 448 in that it has 5 prongs (1 unused) vs. the 4 on those? I tracked/matched the codes on the current switch and everything matches up--the tractor starts and runs fine.
Thanks,
Phil
