Is there a way to bypass the stator?
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. The guide is for contact breaker systems.
What should I do if my Honda stator is weak?
Note that as written this system will bypass the CDI portion of your ignition system (if present) and replace it with a more traditional one. I devised this system when the stator on my Honda XR-100 got so weak that it couldn’t power the spark plug, preventing the engine from running.
Is there a limit to the stator output?
Up until the voltage regulator starts its limiting factor. The 25A rectifier limit pretty much means that it can survive a dead short and live. Unlikely the stator will exceed 25A shorted if the peak power is only 13A. The 240V rectifier limit pretty much means that it can survive an open circuit. It takes a load to keep the voltage in check.
How much does it cost to get a new stator?
Create a Battery-op Ignition System for Less Than $50 The cost of a new stator can be hundreds of dollars. 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.
What does a stator on a bike do?
The stator is the set of copper coils surrounding the crankshaft. The number of coils varies from bike to bike. Mine had 2. Just a warning, if you have a lighting system, it will not work if you remove the stator. You could find a way to wire the lights up to the battery but I won’t be explaining that.
Can a CB500T be used as a rectifier?
CJ360 and the CB500T. It can also be used on any bike that takes the R42a1 rectifier where you need more wire length to relocate the rectifier. singles that have a male plug on the rectifier and 5″ long wires. others. Also fits on some years of the SL350. the terminals installed but not pushed into the plug housing. Installation instructions
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.
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.

When to buy a new stator for your engine?
I devised this system when the stator on my Honda XR-100 got so weak that it couldn’t power the spark plug, preventing the engine from running. The stator on my model happened to be discontinued, and I didn’t want to buy a used one for over $100 when this particular stator is known for being weak and prone to failure.
How can I tell if my stator connector is defective?
Ohms Test. You will need a multimeter set to Ohms for this test. Test every lead of the stator’s connector and note the readings. The reading of each combination should be the same (test leads 1-2, 2-3, and 3-1). If they are different, your stator is defective.
Where do you put the wire for a new stator?
The wire marked red (coming from the engine) in the diagram is going to attach directly to the contact breaker points. There should already be a wire connected to the breaker points right where we need to put the new one. You need to remove that old wire and put the wire for the new system RIGHT WHERE THE OLD ONE WAS.
What happens when a stator dies on an engine?
While a stator is dying, it can produce a weak spark, causing the engine to miss or run poorly. Symptoms are often worsened as the engine warms up. This needs to be a fairly heavy duty coil. I previously tried using two universal coils intended for small engines.
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.
