    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

In what condition should I expect the stator!?

Went for a good ride this afternoon.

A couple hours in, I noticed my blinkers were not working. Additionally my gauge lights were very dim, and once back in town, stop lights became my worst enemy, as voltage dropped with a drained battery.

Disconnected the stator leads and the first test between 2 leads :

Hi,

The resistance reading between legs is supposed to be 0.5 - 2.0 ohms or so. I'd like to see that stator once you get it out. :eek:


Thank you for your indulgence,

Stater looked pretty good, but when iturned it over one of the wires connecting to the coils had shorted out and burned through the wrap.

sorry I laughed out loud cus I though that was an AC test :o sittin on ohms
 
Actually, it does not look pretty good. Where it is dark, it should be light. Even without the short, that stator is toast. With no marmalade, please.
Good catch.
 
Who made this stator- what's with the hollowed out laminations? big gap for magnetic field to leap thru.
 
If you do a continuity test at the points on the near side of the stator, removing the wires, does the thing fail?

Can the soldering simply have failed? This would leave a good stator maybe. The resin coating looks fine to me, no cracks or dreadful burns.
