Charging issue/ Stator testing procedure?

Re: Charging issue/ Stator testing procedure?

it does not mean the stator is ok..you also should not switch/disconnect battery with motor running ..it can damage your electronics.

You can expect your R/R to be bad for sure after running open circuited.

Well it was open for only about 30 seconds. Come to think of it the rig is 26 years old. I suspect the 10 hours I've run it after 6 years of sitting did both the R/R and stator in. Anyhow I'll post the test results when my testing gadgets come in.

Re: Charging issue/ Stator testing procedure?

Ok I built my own DVA for my multi-meter and after testing the stator it pulsed at anywhere between 115V to 174V but fires up mostly in the 150 to 165V range. I assume that's not all that bad. I have the epoxy for the magnets on order, and expect those erratic numbers to stabilize when the magnets aren't riding up and down. Still I'm gonna wait till I get the magnets in before I order a rectifier and plan to give the stator a GOOD inspection when I get that flywheel off. Sorry for the late reply, life got in the way .

how did you build your OWN DVA? Do you have the schemantics?

Mmm. No idea. Maybe you should start a new thread.
