Stator Testing Question

[johnod]

In another thread I was asking about low voltage, this is related but a different matter, so I thought a new thread was the best.

In all the various instruction I've read for doing this, it states unplug stator at case.

I was unable to do this despite numerous attempts, so I disconnected the wires at the regulator and did my testing there.

I don't see how this would effect any test results , but thought I'd ask, would it make any difference?

All the tests read OK  except voltage output, which was in the single digits.

So I think I found the problem.

I don't see why that won't work. I think you did find the problem.
Did you test at about 2000 rpm?

Do you have a plug at the case?  If not you may have an aftermarket stator that is designed like the new bikes have. 

As Hossamania said revs up above 2000 should be showing over 20V

It doesn't matter where you test it in the circuit. Some EVO Cases do not have plugs, running change in production. Remember you're seeking ACV and not DCV. Start the engine and slowly increase engine speed to 2000 rpms. The AC output on carburetted models is 16-20 VAC per 1000 rpm. The AC output on fuel injected models is 19-26 VAC per 1000 rpm.

Yep I did check for AC volts, revs had absolutely no effect on voltage output, which was single digits.

I've ordered a new CE stator, to go with the new CE regulator I already installed.
