Can a bad rectifier kill a stator?
Can a bad stator kill the Regulator/Rectifier? —-Yes. That is “yes” from an absolute standpoint. Normally no and less likely with the “Y” wound stator used in the DRZ, but yes it is possible.
What was the problem with the Honda Gold Wing stator?
Some suffered from faulty stators, while others’ charging issues were traced to overheating of the stator wiring harness. The problem with the harness was eventually traced to heat buildup in the stator’s five-pin wiring connector due to electrical resistance between the pins in the connector.
What happens if one winding of a stator fails?
Some stators will be broken down into two, three, four, or even six halves! Meaning, that one winding will produce the electricity that is used for one, two, or three different cylinders! So, if one winding will fail. The engine will lose spark on one or all of those cylinders.
What to do if your Honda stator has connector burnout?
The workaround for connector burnout is to toss the connectors and solder the wires together in a staggered formation so no two solder joints adjoin. Have a look at the connector block on your brother’s bike.
Can a bad stator cause an outboard to not run?
A bad stator can have all kinds of funny, hard to trace symptoms. Making it sometimes difficult to diagnose. It’s important to note what kind of engine you are working on. Since the stator is what creates the electricity needed for the engine to create a spark and run. Smaller outboards that only have one, or two cylinders.

When do you know you need to replace a stator?
Then you know that the stator is shorted to ground and you will need to replace the stator. Then, on other stators, you can check the resistance between the wires coming out of the stator. Some of these stators will have a certain amount of resistance between the wires.
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.
