    May be the fuse is blown. It has a charging coil under the flywheel with a wire going to the rectifier which goes to a fuse somewhere on the way to the ignition switch.
    Here is one of the Kawasaki mower service manuals and may be helpful

    Hi,
    You should have 13.4 - 14.6 V DC at the battery charged and nothing going on. Once running you should have 26 -36 V AC coming from the stator(under the flywheel with wire(s) going to the regulator.) You should have 14.4 - 16.6 V DC leaving the regulator and returning to the battery(can be measured at the positive battery terminal.) It is the electric PTO clutch that is draining the battery because something in the charging circuit has failed, or a wire is broken.
    Peace,
    Clarke
