Ok somebody, anybody! HELP!!
I recently had a no fire condition. After inspection I saw the black gunk coming from the stator. I checked the ohms of the stator and they were below spec on each side. i figured this was the issues since the stator is old and shows all the signs of being No Good. I ordered a new on and it's on the way. I did some research as to why stators go bad all of a sudden and heat exposure and/or bad rectifier/regulator were the main causes listed. Before I put on the new stator I would like to be sure that my existing rectifier/regulator was in good condition. So i did the recommended ohm checks. Below are the results:
Digital Meter Black lead to Red wire, Red Lead to Yellow/gray wire: .254ohm
Digital Meter Black lead to Red wire, Red Lead to Yellow wire: .000ohm ??? Is this bad?
Digital Meter Red lead to Red wire, Black Lead to Yellow/gray wire: Nothing
Digital Meter Red lead to Red wire, Black Lead to Yellow wire: Nothing
Digital Meter Black Lead to Rectifier Ground, Red Lead to Yellow: Nothing
Digital Meter Black Lead to Rectifier Ground, Red Lead to Yellow/Gray:Nothing
Digital Meter Red Lead to Rectifier Ground, Black Lead to Yellow: 10.16ohm
Digital Meter Red Lead to Rectifier Ground, Black Lead to Yellow/Gray: 19.11ohm
Do these readings look OK? Is my rectifier BAD?
