DVA on the stator reading 0?

The first time I tried to read the green/white to white/green the DVA came back 10.47. The next time I tried it came back 0L on the multimeter. The engine is running at idle (900 rpm). After that I tried testing the trigger wires to see if the DVA had gone bad. All wires tested over 3V, which is spec according to CDI. Ohms-wise, the stator checked out fine.

Anyone ever experience this?

I should add, when I DVA tested the yellow stator wires (to see what kind of voltage was going to the regulator) one of the wires read 11.5V while the other was disconnected, when I connected them both the volts went to 13.1V. The other yellow wire gave me an OL reading the entire time.

When you tested the grn/wht-wht/grn you meter should have showed 180v+

Make sure the meter is set to read "DC voltage", and if its not an "auto range" meter, then make sure the manual range is set to something like 1000V for example. ........You've mentioned "OL" in your results, either its going over range or you have the meter set to "ohms"
