Alternator
Don't see what else it could be and there is a way to test it before you take it anywhere for a diagnosis. Check youtube for videos. Also, I don't think they are that hard to change yourself. Just refer to youtube.

Found one locally at advance auto. Also found a video on YouTube on changing it on this engine. Pretty easy. Will knock out this afternoon.
I can't really get it tested because I can't even keep it running for more than 30 seconds. I guess I could charge the battery and just let r run from there but I've already changed the battery and have the same problem.

It takes about 10-15 minutes to change. Plug the new one in before you start on the four mounting bolts. It took me an additional 4 hours to hitch a ride 50 miles round trip from Fruitdale, AL to Waynesboro, MS to get the alternator.
Buy online at Advance and pickup at the store using 30% off coupon code SCW347
Spin the alternator on the rebuilt one while at Advance. The first one they gave me the bearings started squealing within 2 weeks. I returned it and the second one had a bad feeling bearing when I spun it in the store. They didn't have another rebuilt in stock so they gave me a new non-rebuilt one and it's been good.
