Where does the hot wire go on a stator?
Green is ground. USUALLY there is also a red wire that runs the engine. In your case maybe the blue/white wire is the hot wire instead of being red. The wire harness has a fifth wire that connects to the fly wheel pickup. This connects to the pickup wire that comes from the pickup located just above your flywheel and controls spark timing.
What to do if your stator won’t enterchange?
I’ve known some of the AC/DC stators not to enterchange. Simpliest thing to do is get a DC/CDI and add one wire to the ignition for power to it. If the CDI has power and is properly hooked up to the stator pickup wire it will run without the regualtor even hooked up. You will just not be able to charge the battery or have accessories.
How does the stator work on an engine?
The stator is made up of windings that produce alternating current electricity. As the magnets on the flywheel spin around the windings when the engine is running. This AC electricity is used by the engine to run all of the ignition components of the engine.
How to do static test on motorsport stator?
To perform a static test on your motorcycle or motorsport vehicle stator: Ensure that your multimeter device is set to ohms and that you know your stator’s target readings. Pull the negative and positive leads apart and check that the multimeter display reads OL for an open loop.
How do you install a stator on a car?
1. Disconnect the stator wires from the switch box, engine ground and the rectifier/regulator. 2. Remove the flywheel. 3. Mark the position of the mounting screws in relation to where the stator wires come out of the old stator. 4. Remove the old stator. 5.
When is the best time to replace a stator?
Stators have unpredictable lifespans, and the timing of replacements isn’t always dependent on the stator’s age, so there’s no reason to replace one that may very well run for several thousand more miles if left untouched. Performing a diagnostic test is the best way to know whether you need to replace your stator.
Do you need stator to do static stator test?
The correct readings vary depending on year/make/model and can be found in your service manual. Dynamic stator tests require your machine to be running, while static tests do not. In fact, static stator tests don’t even need the stator to be attached to the vehicle.
How does a field excited stator work on a bike?
The stator produces alternating current (AC) that flows into your machine’s rectifier to be converted to direct current (DC) and then power the DC loads on your bike. Field excited stators are similar to permanent magnetic systems, except they operate with an electromagnet instead of permanent magnets.
