ok here we go. i received a good second hand stator with a standard loom. it checked out good i.e approx 0.5ohms between the 3 phase wires and no short to the casing. i also buzzed out the inner brush wire (black) and the outer brush wire (green) both good. I have installed the stator and wired with the nylon screws isolating the inner brush and connecting that to switched power. The outer brush i connected to the reg/rec green wire. All buzz out fine. If a check the resistance between the brushes i see 10.6 ohms and i see good continuity from the wires connecting the brushes to the rotor tracks. so i thought i would do the voltage test across the brushes with the ignition on i have 12.1v at the battery but nothing seen at the brushes ???? previously with the old stator i saw approx the batt voltage -2 volts so i know the rotor is ok. Could this be the reg/rec i.e its not switching the green output to 0v ?? is it possible to check the reg/rec by voltage testing the reg/rec green wire to batt positive with the ignition on ? , the loom for the stator had 2 spare wires , yellow ( leave disconnected) and a blue wire ???? any thoughts
