    Doing the stator test

    I tested my stator but I want to make sure I am reading my meter right. I put it on AC-Voltage range of 100 vac. Reved the engine to 5k RPMs. The meter went almost up to the 1 on the AC scale. Is that equal to 1, 10 or 100 volts?

    Put your meter on higher AC scale and measure an outlet in your house- this will check both you and the meter!

      Is this an analog meter (with a needle) or a digital meter (with numbers)?

      If it is an analog meter, the 1 is multiplied by the scale, x100, giving you a reading of 100 volts.

      If that's what you got, you have a GOOD stator.

        It is an analog meter and just says 100 not x100.

        Thank you for your replies.
