MERCURY 35 HP STATOR CHARGE TEST

[cuenta]

HI GUY'S
SOMEONE IN THE FORUM KNOWS HOW TO TEST THE CHARGE STATOR
I THINK CALL AUXILIARY STATOR IS 2 WIRE A YELLOW AND A GRAY
AND ARE CONNECTED TO THE RECTIFIERE
I HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY CHARGE THE VOL. CHANGE OF 6VOL. TO 12.6 VOL
NEVER STAY.

thanks in advance

If your battery is only showing 6v and then goes to 12 while running then your charging system is OK but your battery is no good, it should hold a charge of 12-13v for days.

No Title

Is a new marine battery
and new rectifier.
but the charge is intermittent 12v. then 6v ,8v. 12.5v etc.
or this is normal with this engine

Where are you attaching your test leads too and what scale are you using to get the readings?

I attaching direct to battery post with the motor running and multimeter set to 20vol. Dc.

Stator testing.----Post these 2 readings in OHMS-----Yellow wire to gray wire.------And one of those wires to ground.

Was the battery charged before you hooked it up? The alternator just keeps it charged up it's not meant to charge a flat battery.

Yellow to gray wire = continuity
Yellow to ground. = open
Gray to ground. = open

If you don't have a good battery in the system the voltage levels can be quite erratic. A battery should have at least 11.5 volts. Normal is 12.75 volts. If yours is dropping to 6 volts it's either no good or very, very, very flat.

I try with a different battery same result.
How I can test the stator.
And rectifier?

Could you give us more information on your engine.

I think is a 1989 mercury 35 hp

Read post # 6 and state your exact results testing with a digital meter.-----Post those 2 readings only.

Yellow to gray = 3 ohms
Yellow to groud = open
Gray to ground = open..

 

[sam am I]

Yellow to gray = 3 ohms

Sounds too high, should be 0.2, 0.3, 0.4'ish ohms............When you touch JUST the two meter leads together, what is that resistance reading? If it is 3'ish ohms again, then the stator is probably okay, the meter just can't read that low.


Does your meter have "rel" feature?
