Can a bad rectifier cause no spark?
The regulator/ rectifier is a voltage regulator that keeps the battery supplied with a steady 13.4 dc volts no matter what the stator is putting out, which is AC volts that varies with engine RPM. A bad regulator/ rectifier will result in a dead battery, and once the battery is competely dead you will not get a spark.
How to test the spark plug on a stator?
1) If it is a 1 wire coil, it needs to be grounded to the frame to fire the spark plug. 2) If it is a 2 wire coil and it fires when not grounded to the frame, the coil is defective. 3) We do NOT count the large wire going to the spark plug. This wire is called high tension. 4) With these steps complete, we can now test the ohms from the stator. a.
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 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.
Where is the stator on a Gokart ATV?
The stator is what provides spark for your gokart, atv and scooter. The stator is located on engine side housing, where a 5 wire unit is coming form engine block.
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.
Is the Honda Elite 80 still working with no spark?
Still working on my 1993 Elite 80 Honda. This no spark condition is driving me crazy. I have replaced every part of the ignition system with new parts. My question is should there be power to the ignition control module with the key on.
