Honda GXV620 lawn mower draining battery

Looks like I have a drain on the battery and getting to the rectifier and regulator will be tasking.

Meter shows about 7mA drain from Pos cable terminal to Pos cable end. When running I'm seeing 14.4V pretty steady. Replaced the battery a few years ago with another AGM. I can place on charger and if its fired up within 3 days no issue, buy any more there is some click, click then it start.

When its clicking I'm about 12.3V

Looks like the flywheel has to come off but might be able to get at it after starter is removed.

This would be easier;

7Ma current draw is not going to drain a battery in 3 days. Sounds like a bad battery to me or bad connection.

Battery is under the seat, and seat is bolted. Do understand your point.

I charged it up yesterday and left it disconnected, will check today to see if there is a holding charge issue
