I am trying to figure out if I have a fried stator. I have done all checks on everything else.


Stator is reading 700 for continuity between blue wires
Yellow wires are reading 1700.

Blue to Yellow was reading 1100 for both sets

Between all the windings there is one spot where it looks like it burnt up. The windings do not goto the next one. (everyone winding is coated except the one that is burnt and I see no windings there. will try to get pics.

Are the reading off in the test I did?

Thanks

The manual says to check resistance between the 2 wires which is reffering to the green and yellow striped wires that go to the rectifier. I'm sure it's the same for the blue and yellow wires that go to the control modules. I think you have to test the resistance between each set of yellow and blue. Make sure you trace the wires and make sure you have the right set. Resistance specs are .5-1.0ohms.

My manual says to do the following (assuming you can't get the motor running):

Remove the cover from the terminal strip on the starboard side of motor (stator leads located on the end of the terminal block nearest the coils) - last four leads.

Connect your multimeter leads and set to 400 D.V.A scale.
Remove the 3rd and 4th leads from the end of the terminal block - connect the meter leads to these stator leads (this check is not polarity sensitive).

Crank engine while reading the meter. Should read 210 V or higher. If less than 210V or intermittent, stator no good. If reads 210 V or higher, reconnect the 3rd and 4th leads back to the terminal block.

next check remove the 1st and 2nd leads from the end of the terminal block and connect the multimeter leads.

Crank engine while reading meter. should read 210 V or higher. If less than 210V or intermittent, stator no good. reconnect the leads.

hope this helps. good luck
