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.
So this with stator disconnected from R/R as in last section of Basscliff's testing in this link?
No. Ur equating me to a guy asking u to fix his bike over the Internet which is NOT what I'm asking. I'm reporting back my findings for input from people that know more than me. But screw it. I've read the stator papers and have done static tests on the r/r and the stator. I've checked the voltage at the r/r and it was same 12.4 as was at the battery at idle. I checked the stator and the phases aren't balanced. What else am I missing? But ur post mocking me doesn't help anyone.
Actually did not mistake you for anybody. But what I do now realize is the futile approach you seem bound to pursue.
I was a Commercial Electrician, retired into computer repair and Posplayr is so far above my level that I'm not sure I understand what he is talking about all the time, but I have more than a clue. He is shooting it to you straight, and is probably just as frustrated as you that you don't understand what he is saying. Leave your ego at the door and ask questions if you don't understand, I guarantee you will get your answer or enough information to figure it out yourself. People like Jim are not always the best teachers because they think at a level that I could only envy if I was that type of person. I'm not, but certainly smart enough to take every opportunity to learn from him when I can. The only stupid question is the one you don't ask or are to proud to ask. Troubleshooting over the internet is extremely difficult because there are so many variables. Hang in there. I believe this forum is extremely successful in helping people solve their problems and I know for a fact that it has helped me greatly. The bike you see in my signature was a basket case when I bought it. I knew virtually nothing about fixing my own motorcycle. They dragged me kicking and screaming to being a fair hand with the old bike, It can happen to you if you let it.
Do the Quick Test... And report all 6 results
the good ones would be brightest and shorted least. With the light bulb load it would still be good to measure voltages across the bulbs but that would be a funtion of rpm and bulb wattage.
I wasn't very plain but I was thinking per no RPM...ie just a lightbulb and a battery hooked up to a couple of stator leads such that the resistance of the windings would be less in a shorted stator. ...some kind of test that would help where a motor doesn't run...
