So i just got done going through and testing my batt draw an my stator. I had contanuity threw my two holes for my stator plug... at idle testing volts i should be around 25v. then for every 1000rpm it should go up about 20v or so right?? well i was hoping it was my voltage reg. but from idle on my stator i had 5v. then as i would rev up slowly it was going up only 1-2 volts.... ending around 7-8 volts at rev... I think i know anyway but this sounds like i need a new stator.. Any one???

 

More than likely the stator is fried. That voltage is really low. Check the 2 wires for continuity to ground. Open up the primary, give it a smell. My buddies went out on a trip last week and you could really smell it.

 

Yea, i had my primary open about three weeks ago to replace the linkage to my shift rod. i should have just replaced my stator then i guess but i couldnt smell that burnt out smell you are talking about. but there is a good chance the stator is fried. thanks for your post kkiley.

 

When you are in there, check the rotor (magnets and wearing) and note tightness of compensator nut.

 

thanks to all.. will check it out

 

I recommend you replace the rotor & stator while you are in there.
