How do you remove a nut from a stator?
1- To remove the nut, the flywheel must be locked in place or else it will simply turn. You can lock it in place by using a special tool. Alternatively, you can lock it this way: remove the spark plug and feed wire or rope down into the cylinder.
Where does the spark plug go on a stator?
-The two primary terminals on the ignition coil are shared by multiple components, and therefore will have two wires coming out of each. -The raised center terminal on the ignition coil feeds the power that goes to the spark plug. This is where the spark plug wire will connect.
How can I tell if my stator needs to be replaced?
This test makes sure that the stator isn’t shorting out to the ground. Your meter should read “OL” or open line. If the multimeter is picking up a reading, it means your stator needs to be replaced. Repeat this test for each of the windings.
Why is my Arctic Cat 400 not starting?
Oh man, my 2004 Arctic Cat 400 4X4 4 wheeler ATV won’t start today and there is NO spark to the spark plug. I have checked the fuses, ignition coil and grounds and even unplugged the rectifier which when goes bad can ground out the rest of the electrical system….but nuthin worked, nuthin.

What should I do if my Honda Foreman 400 has no spark?
Spent $100 on a new OEM unit but nothing changed. Back to square one staring at the electrical diagram. Consulted the forums again as well as the dealer and parts house. Next suggestion was replacing the ignition coil. If not that, could be the stator or ignition pulse generator.
How is a stator attached to an engine?
First the easy: attaching the negative (black) wire going to the engine. This wire can be attached to any conductive part of the engine assembly. On cars and motorcycles the metal parts of the engine are in electrical contact with each other, which causes them to make up one large electric terminal.
What happens to the spark plug when a stator goes bad?
The stator coil generates the power for the spark plug and other accessories on small engines Without a stator there would be no spark at all, meaning the engine won’t run. While a stator is dying, it can produce a weak spark, causing the engine to miss or run poorly.
What to do if you have a bad stator?
Without a good stator, your engine will run poorly or not at all. This solution completely bypasses the stator by using a 12 volt battery to power the ignition system. Everything required can be purchased for under $50. It will work on all contact breaker point engines (old style), and some electronic controlled ignition (newer style) ones.
