What is a ignition pulse generator?
initially the IGP (ignition pulse generator) was a standalone unit mounted on the outside of the camshaft on the top of the motor, using a mechanical flyweight system similar to a distributor in a truck to generate the initial pulse signal to the ignition coil and also mechanically alter the ignition timing.
Can you test a stator with a test light?
Probe each stator pin with the test light one at a time. If the bulb lights when connected between any of the stator plug pins and ground the stator is shorted and needs to be replaced. If you get proper AC voltage and the stator is not grounded (no light) the stator and rotor are good.
How to test the stator / ignition pulse generator ( pick up )?
Click to expand… By looking at the schematic, one would think there should be continuity. But knowing that the sensor creates AC voltage, it may not work that way. If you have a voltmeter that will get down and read low AC voltage, you can probe the two leads and swipe a metal piece or a magnet across the tip of it and create somekind of voltage.
What’s the best way to test a stator?
Set your multimeter to Ohms. Put the negative lead on the engine’s ground and the positive lead on each wires of the stator’s connector one by one. You shouldn’t get a reading at all.
What should the peak voltage be on a stator coil?
Welcome to the forum. Thanks, I did order one but its not in yet. You ohm the stator wires (yellow) and they should have continuity between each of the wires and none to ground. You need a peak voltage tester to check the pulse generator (blue/yellow wire + and green/white wire -) and the peak voltage is 0.7V.
Where is the pulse generator on a Honda ATV?
On many of the Honda ATV models, the ignition process is initiated by the Ignition Pulse Generator, which is located near the stator. The pulse generator is cruicial, because without it, you have no ignition.

Is there a pulse generator for the pickup coil?
There is the stator and the pickup coil (pulse generator). To test the pulse (trigger to tell the computer when to send ignition to the spark plug) the motor needs to be turning over. I removed the stator. Now I just wanna make sure I check it correctly.
