When does a torque converter start to stall?
As engine speed increases, fluid flow is directed through the stator to the turbine, which drives the turbine and transmission input shaft to get you moving. The point at which the impeller begins to drive the turbine is known as stall speed. Most stock torque converters “stall” at around 1,500 to 1,900 rpm of engine speed.
What happens when the starter relay is stuck?
If the starter stays on after the engine has ignited, the main contacts in the starter relay have most likely welded together in the closed position. When this occurs, the starter relay will be stuck in the on position and damage will occur to the starter, circuit, relay, and the transmission flywheel if it is not addressed immediately.
Why does the stator turn at the same speed as the turbine?
During acceleration, the stator turns at a slower speed than the impeller and turbine, which directs fluid flow more aggressively against the turbine blades. As the vehicle speed catches up with turbine speed, the impeller, stator, and turbine are all whirling around at the same speed.
What should I know about a Harley Davidson stator replacement?
The Harley Davidson stator replacement and upgrade is being done with quality parts made in the USA. The unique design of Cycle Electric Inc. stators offer: Insulation able to withstand temperatures of 600° F to eliminate stator burn out. Better low speed output to reduce battery discharge at an idle.
When to know if your stator regulator is bad?
If the battery was good under load test, if the stator is NOT shorted to ground, and the stator is putting out A/C voltage, then the regulator is bad (most likely even if if passed step 2). Check your owners/service manual for the system amp output for your bike.
Can a motorcycle run without a stator battery?
All the current required to run your motorcycle comes from your battery. The stator system charges your battery and replenishes it. You could actually run your motorcycle just fine for some time without a working stator as the battery has reserve current. Of course, the battery would eventually die.
What should the voltage be for a stator Charger?
A good rule of thumb is you can convert to power by multiplying the stator amps ( current) x the battery ( voltage ). You can use 13 as a good all around battery voltage. That is a good healthy battery staying charged just above 12 volts. Example only: Let’s say the stator is rated for 10 amps x 13-volt battery: 10 x 13=130 watt charging system.
