How many feet of wire from stator to rectifier?
Also taped off stock connector. Cut off the 3 feet of wire to ground and power from the rectifier, and connected them to the VFRness. gonna run with it loose like this for awhile, if it lasts a week or so I’ll go back in and clean it up and protect it better.
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.
What to do if your battery rectifier is bad?
You may need to clean the connectors. This is a free and easy fix so try it out if your battery is still good. Voltage regulator rectifier unit: If your voltage regulator is bad, you’ll have the same problems as if your stator is bad. This can make it difficult to determine, which is the problem.
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 does the regulator do on a Kawasaki?
It is normal for the regulator to get quite hot, so much so that you would burn your hand if you tried to hang on to one when the engine was at speed. On the Kawasaki, as with most ATV’s, the regulator performs two functions, convert the AC from the stator to DC, and to keep the voltage in a useful range to avoid damage to the CDI and lights.
What should battery voltage be on Bayou 300?
For every ten degrees below 80 degrees, deduct .004 from the hydrometer reading to correct for the temp, and if above 80 degrees you will add .004 for each ten degrees to correct. A stable good battery voltage when sitting overnight and the engine is not running is 12.4 VDC to 12.7 VDC.
What should the voltage be on a motorcycle stator?
A stable good battery voltage when sitting overnight and the engine is not running is 12.4 VDC to 12.7 VDC. Anything below 12.3 VDC and you will start having problems with the regulator not properly regulating the current. If you install a new battery be sure to fully charge it so the specific gravity is at least 1.260.
