I'm trying to decide if I kneed a new stator or not ..I left the stator harness plugged into the rectifier and poked a voltage meter in to a pair of the three yellow leads on the harness I was only getting like 9 volts at idle and managed to get it up to like 15 volts in the upper rpms ....did I test this properly ? and is the stator likely bad...thanks for any help

 

Was your dvm on the ac scale??

 

thanks squale..didnt realize these stators were ac voltage ..what the heck ..stator checked out fine when tested on the proper setting

 

No problem
