Chasing spark issue on 79 115. I pulled the 2 stator wires off the rectifier (both black) and have no voltage between them which seems wrong to me. I also have .01 ohms between them is this normal or the wrong way to test?
Nick: Need more info. Motorola Magna Power distributor ignition or Prestolite CD ignition?
If it is Magna-Power, then the stator only makes AC voltage to charge the battery. NO voltage will be made until more than 1000 RPM is made and you must check with the lowest AC setting on the meter. Ohms will be very low since the winding are heavy and only 12-14 volts are produced.
