Is a rectifier the same as a stator?
Simply put, a stator works together with a rectifier regulator to accomplish the same outcome as an alternator—to generate the DC power required to operate the motorcycle, ATV, side-by-side, etc. The stator is the coil of wire housed inside the engine case.
Can a stator kill a battery?
As far as the battery, yes a bad stator/regulator can destroy a new battery. If it’s run at a very low voltage without being recharged then it can be destroyed. It actually happens all the time. In most cases if we replace a stator or regulator the battery has to be changed as well as it won’t hold a charge.
Can a bad battery ruin a stator?
It is possible, especially if the battery has been boiled dry (the plates WILL warp and short). Even a non shorted bad battery (one that draws too much charging current) can fail a stator, especially an old one.
What makes a stator go bad?
To answer why stators fail, it is because the coating on the windings breaks down, usually because of heat, causing a short which can also burn the fine wire of the winding in two at the short causing an open circuit. The way to prevent failures is to prevent the heat.
How to wire from a rectifier to a stator?
Re: wiring from stator to regulator/rectifier to cdi on… Would this help? From the stator: blue & green from the pulser coil to the CDI. The blue here is actually connected to the ground. The CDI’s ground wire is black/white; ( near the stator) single blue to the CDI.
Where is the stator in a CDI coil?
Follow them to where they connect to the CDI, coil, and rectifier (should be around the headlight area, under the plastic. Remove the pair of three wires in one connector (should be a green, a red, and a red/black). Check for ohms between each. If any show open, the stator is gone.
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 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.
