Hey guys this has been puzzling me. How can a banshee with a bad stator light up lights on kick at night... but yet no spark from plugs.
Yes I ohm'ed the continuity between the red and green and got nothing not even a continuity beep via digital ohm meter.
Regardless how is this possible? I tested my new stator that came in used working red/green got continuity beep etc. So obviously something is fouled with my stator.
But how is this possible? If the red/green give no continuity beep(current stator on my bike). The stator/flywheel(spining) creates the kinetic into electric? So how come it can power them just enough to where I can see it at night. Yet no spark at all.
Like I said new used working stator i just got red/green got contuity beep and reading. Old stator currently in my bike red/green no beep no reading, nothing.
"You could possibly be looking at a coil, but I might run the resistance numbers on the stator. The lighting and ignition windings of the stator are separate, so it is possible to have lights, but no spark." -quote from another poster off BHQ.com
Can the stator still be bad and produce power to the lights if so how? and not supply power to the ignition coil/spark. I know they are seperate so is the voltage reg. but how is it possible?
Any elec gurus? This has been nawing at me for awhile i'd like to learn about this thanks.
