Working on my XS2 motor, and I had a question. Once the motor is back in the frame and hooked up, if I wanted to test fire it. I have made a remote fuel reservoir. But here’s my question, my rotor is damaged so I wouldn’t want to have brushes installed.
With the rotor in place, and the brushes removed, as long as I have a hot battery, will the motor fire and run?
I didn’t know if somehow the wiring from the stator completed some circuitry necessary for ignition.
BTW, I’m not ready to do this yet, just wondering.
 
Yes, it will work just fine with the brushes removed. Make sure the brush leads are stowed so you don't get sparks from them.... but yeah, iggy will work just fine that way.
