What should my stator reading be on my mercury?
Engine should be cold, resistance increases with temperature. Specifications are from a manual that only goes up to 1990. If you do not see your engine above, check here… The 2 yellow wires should be separated from the rectifier and an ohmmeter reading across the wires should be .3 ohms more or less.
What should my open circuit stator reading be?
You should read around 0.2 to 0.5 ohms. If you show an open circuit with the “Open” or infinity reading or have higher resistance, then the stator is bad and you must replace it. If these tests all produce positive results, then the stator itself is good.
How do you check the stator on a motorcycle?
Rev the engine up to 3,000 rpm and read the meter. If it is lower than 60 volts, then you need to replace the rotor. Now, connect the stator to the regulator. Set your multimeter to check amps on the lowest scale. Start the engine and turn on all electrical accessories.
What causes a motorcycle stator to stop working?
Any problems with the rotor will cause a loss of output. With the engine running and the multimeter set to check AC voltage, connect the probes to the stator sockets. Rev the engine up to 3,000 rpm and read the meter.
What should I do if I get a reading on my 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. If you get a reading, even very small, on any wire, the stator is defective and must be changed. Put your multimeter to AC Volts and start you vehicle.
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.
What kind of multimeter do I need to test a stator?
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. Set your multimeter to Ohms.
