I have not been able to get my 79 xs to charge after the old stator took a shit. I bought a new one from mikes, wired it up and it will still not charge. I went through all of curly's charging system checks. I am finding a very low AC reading on the between the 3 white wires coming from the stator (#6 on curlys). This is with the motor at idle. reading should be 10.5-11 AC. I am getting like .3 on each one. This means something is grounding my stator. #7 on curlys guide checks out. Unplugged and tested from white to white and I get the .4ohms. check from white to motor ground and get infinite.
I read that the stator can only ground internally unless the wires are pinched or rubbing raw on the motor or frame. They are not. note: my battery is not fully charged, it is reading 11.7-12.0 since I have been running the bike a little trying to figure this out. Shouldn't make my stator test readings out of whack, right?
***Is there a way to double check my NEW stator from mikes before I start bitchin at them? Everything else seems to check out. reg/rec and rotor look good according to my checks.
thanks for your time. I am going on 3 weeks dealing with this shit. It is frustrating. I just finished the bike and it is begging to be ridden!!thanks in advance
