Going to use short form points for faster reading.
-Hooked up another tachometer-still no reading
-have power at the plug for tach
-tried shorting out signal wire- still no movement in tach
-have continuity from guage plug to rectifier end
-stator plug (yellow and yellow/gray) have no resistance, manual says it should read .16 ohms, yellow wire had seen heat, plastic plug was slightly melted
-stator plug leads when grounded had no no connection at all (on this forum I read it should have high reading 530-700ohms
-Did Joe Reeves test on rectifier and had resistance readings going both ways which I believe means rectifier is blown(readings are same both ways)
-motor starts and idles fine
-no readings on guages except on voltmeter
-battery is getting charged at idle .20-.40Volts
Just wondering if you guys can determine if stator is blown and why it still runs.Appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks in advance.
