    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Charging issue

So, I checked the ac volts from the stator outputs (black multimeter lead) to the crankcase cover (red lead). It was .2-.5mV at 5000 rpm. Is that alright or bad?

If the meter is on the right setting then OK. When measuring AC leads polarity doesn't matter.
Make sure you get 80 VAC leg to leg and then about zero leg to ground. Do it back to back to confirm the meter is set correctly.

I assume you got 100 vac at 6k rpm snd only a slight leakage 1-3. Vac at same rpm. That suggests the stator is functional but Has some underlying weakness probably not looking at charging voltages. If voltages are down it is likely something else.
