i cut the stator wires and tested voltage between the 3 legs. a-b b-c c-a
im getting about 64v, 64v and 40v.
I believe they should all have the same voltage with very little variation. Can someone confirm ?
By the way the Ohm reading is 1ohm each leg. no continuity to ground.

Re: Stator help needed
yup,
that stator is toast. all 3 legs need to be within 5-10 percent, preferably less than 5%
either have it rewound at a local starter/alternator shop ( cheapest and best )
or get a new OEM stator.
the aftermarket ones seem a bit iffy

Re: Stator help needed
Thanks. That’s what I thought
Problem is that is a new one I got from Randakks.
They sold me a defective one and said my test is not accurate. They refused exchange or refund. Stated that’s their policy in stators and regulators.

Re: Stator help needed
