stator test

[jjpp]

when checking stator output test can a vom be used, or do i need special equip<br />not getting spark at plugs<br />1995 force 120 hp ( thunderbolt ign )

Re: stator test

You can do a couple of checks with any meter. With the stator disconnected from the rectifier check for continuity between the two yellow stator output wires. Then check each wire to ground, it should be open.<br /><br />The stator outputs a series of pulses. In order to match up the output values with what is published in the manual, you need a peak reading meter or an oscilloscope. With the VOM you can measure yke stator output voltage, on the AC scale, but you can't correlate it to the peak readings.

Re: stator test

did a stator resistance test on stator, low-speed reading was a "o" ohm<br />high-speed was a 145-150 ohms

Re: stator test

hello<br /> are you sure it was zero Ohms or was it infinate ohms ?<br />super big difference

Re: stator test

now that i think about it , it was infinate ohms

Re: stator test

no further tests are nessasary. however replacement of the stator is. its a common problem

thanks for the help rodbolt

Re: stator test

before buying the red stator kit check with Rapair. that red kit has gotten kinda pricy.

Re: stator test

hey rodbolt,thanks again for the help<br />pulled the stator off that 120 force checked out wireing and could not find any problem must be internal.tried to order stator from i boat parts only to find it was out of stock,did some searching and found one for $20 less from "surplus unlimited" down in daytona beach,fla
